cannot convert from android.support.v7.app.ActionBar to android.app.ActionBar

I worked on an android project when i got to reinstall windows. So after the pc-setup i wanted to continue programming. I re-installed the adt bundle and created a new workspace and imported the old project. After many problems i worked through, iam stuck now with this error: "cannot convert from android.support.v7.app.ActionBar to android.app.ActionBar" the code worked in my old project just fine, but now... it meows here:

ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();

android:minSdkVersion="13"

android:targetSdkVersion="19"

Library appcompat_v7 added

import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;

Cleaning the project doesnt help either...

Your ActionBar import is incorrect. You are importing the android ActionBar instead of the support ActionBar. Use this import instead:

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar;
