Read this tutorial from Android's official site. Action Bar Android You just need to include android-support-v7-appcompat.jar support jar in your project from your android-sdk-windows\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\libs path on your disk. Then you can use ActionBar below API 11 in Android.

I've used this library for adding an action bar to 2.2+ apps:

I found it easy to use and visually appealing, although the style of it does not exactly match the default action bar in ICS.
