android 2.3.3 api 10 action bar

Question

I'm using android 2.3.3(on eclipse), I would like to add action bar to my project.

I've tried to add android support library V7 and got many errors like this:

[2013-08-12 16:42:36 - app name_1_1_1] C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\res\values-v14\styles_base.xml:24: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Holo.ActionBar'.

Is it possible to add the support library or add different library for the action bar ?

Read this tutorial from Android's official site. Action Bar Android You just need to include android-support-v7-appcompat.jar support jar in your project from your android-sdk-windows\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\libs path on your disk. Then you can use ActionBar below API 11 in Android.

Official Android Tutorial is here: Action Bar Android Official Sherlock bar was creating issues for me then I got this solution.

There are two ways to go to do ActionBar for Android 2.3.3/API Level 10,

You can use ActionBarCombat which is the support library version of Android; here is a detailed official tutorial http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2013/08/actionbarcompat-and-io-2013-app-source.html
You can use 3rd party library which is ActionBarSherlock, also the usage is here http://actionbarsherlock.com/usage.html

Try Action Bar Sherlock. From their website:

The library will automatically use the native action bar when appropriate or will automatically wrap a custom implementation around your layouts. This allows you to easily develop an application with an action bar for every version of Android from 2.x and up.

its because you set project build target below 4.0
