What is a suitable replacement for android ActionBar?

Question

I've developed an application that utilizes an actionBar, but apparently actionBar is only available for SDK 3.0 or later. I would like my application to be able to run on earlier SDKs, what would be a suitable replacement for an actionBar?

• Pop up menu
• Context Menu etc..

Please suggest anything that you think would be a suitable replacement or similar to an actionbar.

Answer 1

Some bugs still exist but it depends on how you use the library. The library is certainly more stable

Answer 2

What about using the native google ActionBarCompat from support library: http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ActionBarCompat/index.html

Answer 3

no, you can also use Actionbar Sherlock which supports below Verion 3.0 and it good too. It is a library project and you just need to add reference to your project.
