ActionBarSherlock● Eclipse: include ActionBarSherlock as a library

project● Activity extends Sherlock* - SherlockActivity,

SherlockFragmentActivity●Interaction with the action bar is handled by

calling getSupportActionBar() (instead of

getActionBar()).

ActionBarSherlockTheming:

● requires a set of default themes, one of which

must be applied to each activity on which you

want the action bar present● Theme.Sherlock, Theme.Sherlock.Light, or

Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar

ActionBarSherlockImports:

● Includes and uses a lot of classes that are

named the same as their native counterparts● com.actionbarsherlock.app.ActionBar

● com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu

● com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuItem

● com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuInflater

ActionBarSherlock

Examples:

@Overridepublic boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(final Menu menu) {

final MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater(); inflater.inflate(R.menu.only_info2, menu); return true;}
