ActionBar API in android

Question

I'm new to android and I'm trying to use ActionBar.I've read the documentation where it simply states that if you use android greater that 3.0 (i think) you use it by default.I've also downloaded some sample code and built it,and while it runs as it should run (meaning that the actionBar appears).In order to run it i had to import another project so that it could compile correctly.Do you know how i can effectively use the actionBar API ?

Answer 1

ActionBarSherlock at http://actionbarsherlock.com is an Android library for implementing the action bar design pattern using the native ActionBar on 3.0+ and a third-party library on pre-3.0.
