Question

I’m trying to implement sherlock actionbar but i can’t set the right theme in the manifest because it simply doesn’t exists. the tutorial says to put android:theme=”@style/Theme.Sherlock” but i don’t have this choice, why?
i correctly added sherlock library to my project.

as per link

: Delete the JAR that you created. Add ActionBarSherlock to your app as an Android library project. While the ActionBarSherlock documentation (see “Including In Your Project”) only cites Eclipse and Maven for how to do this,

as per link

do in java code

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH){
        this.setTheme(com.actionbarsherlock.R.style.Theme_Sherlock);
   }
   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   ... // MORE CODE ....
}
