Question

I’m facing with a weird problem with SherlockActionBar.

I need to customize theme Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar.

If I set theme Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar in AndroidManifest, everything works fine (Gingerbread and ICS too).

But if i make my own theme, which is inherited from Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar, it will not apply on devices with ICS+. Even if the custom style is empty as follows:

<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <style name="customTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar" >
  </style>
</resources>

and in manifest in application node:

    android:theme="@style/customTheme"

This is ok on Gingerbread, but on ICS+ there is Theme.Sherlock.Light applied. Any solution?

As I already mentioned in the comments, you’ll have to check if you have a values-v11 folder with a theme that is overriding your theme in Android API 11+.
