ActionBarSherlock 4.0 doesn't work. But 3.5.1 do.

I’m trying to use ActionBarSherlock for my app, but there seems to be a problem when referring to ActionBarSherlock from another library project.

It’s because I use a UI project where I create all the activities, but this project is actually a library. So I need the ActionBarSherlock components in this UI project, but when I refer to ActionBarSherlock the following errors appear:

...\ActionBarSherlockLibrary\res\values-v14\abs__themes.xml:30: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Theme.Holo.Light.Dialog'.

So it seems like it can not find the Holo themes, even though all the projects have android:targetSdkVersion="15". Is there a fix for this or is it just not possible to refer to ActionBarSherlock from a library?

    I solved by changing the Project Build Target of both the ActionBarSherlock library and my projects to Android 4.0.3 (API 15).

    You can do this using the Project Properties and clicking on the Android section.

    Remember to do a Project Clean after changing the API Level.
