enter image description here

without use actionbarshearlock:

just add this line: requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY);

before setContentView(R.Layout.Test) in onCreate

and this line give you TRANSPARENT ActionBar

getActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(
                    getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ab_bg_black));

like:

@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        getActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(
                getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ab_bg_black));
}

for R.drawable.ab_bg_black just add drawable colour in string.xml like:

<drawable name="ab_bg_black">#80000000</drawable>

same way using actionbarshearlock:

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        setTheme(SampleList.THEME); //Used for theme switching in samples
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.overlay);

        //Load partially transparent black background
        getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ab_bg_black));

}

Edited: Start listview After Actionbar.

enter image description here

if you are using actionbarshearlock then just do like below:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingLeft="10dp"
        android:paddingRight="10dp"
        android:paddingTop="?actionBarSize" >
    </ListView>

</LinearLayout>

try this code, but I'm not sure that is exactly what you need: 

 bar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
