Replacing ActionBarSherlock With AppCompat

I'm currently working on a simple navigation drawer + sliding tab.

However, I wanted these a material design on my own app.

Therefore, I have no choice except to get rid off ActionBarSherlock. When in these attempt, I found that 2 types of imports which are as follows:

import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragment;
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragmentActivity;

has to be removed too. However, more errors seem to appear after removing it.

So, is there any other type of imports that could replace these 2 above?

If you're going to use appcompat-v7, I am sure you have support-v4 in your dependencies as well.

You can try replacing

  • com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragment with android.support.v4.app.Fragment
  • com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragmentActivity with android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity

There are some good advices on migrating from ABS to AppCompat.

Something to note with above examples is that ActionBarActivity is now deprecated and replaced by AppCompatActivity.
