I have developed an android application using android sdk 4.4(KitKat). My application runs fine on android 4.0 and 4.4 but it crashes on android 2.3 and other versions. I have used android action bar and I have read somewhere that action bars are not supported in previous versions. I can not change this app as I have to hand it over to the client and I am out of time. I am unable to fix it. I need any solution so that it will be available and compatible for atleat 2.3 and above.

You can use ActionBarSherlock as it is compatible to Android 2.X:

1It would make more sense to use the v7 support libs. ABS was a good stop gap but now Google have released an official support library for ActionBar it seems better to go with that. – Squonk Dec 14 '13 at 20:01

@Rida: I have no experience with AppCompat, that's why I suggested ActionBarSherlock – Flat Eric Dec 14 '13 at 20:28
