React component that wraps the Android-only [`Toolbar` widget][0]. A Toolbar can display a logo,
navigation icon (e.g. hamburger menu), a title & subtitle and a list of actions. The title and
subtitle are expanded so the logo and navigation icons are displayed on the left, title and
subtitle in the middle and the actions on the right.

If the toolbar has an only child, it will be displayed between the title and actions.

Although the Toolbar supports remote images for the logo, navigation and action icons, this
should only be used in DEV mode where `require('./some_icon.png')` translates into a packager
URL. In release mode you should always use a drawable resource for these icons. Using
`require('./some_icon.png')` will do this automatically for you, so as long as you don't
explicitly use e.g. `{uri: 'http://...'}`, you will be good.

Example:

```
render: function() {
  return (
    <ToolbarAndroid
      logo={require('./app_logo.png')}
      title="AwesomeApp"
      actions={[{title: 'Settings', icon: require('./icon_settings.png'), show: 'always'}]}
      onActionSelected={this.onActionSelected} />
  )
},
onActionSelected: function(position) {
  if (position === 0) { // index of 'Settings'
    showSettings();
  }
}
```
