AppCompatActivity was added into the latest v7 support library. Now I am using ActionBarActivity in all my applications, but now it is showing a message saying ActionBarActivity is deprecated. Please tell me what is the difference between these two classes and how I have to use it.

You may also know that ToolBar is now added in replace of ActionBar. To support this new subclass of Activity is added which is now called AppCompatActivity. All functionality of actionBar is available in this class. For this reason ActionBarActivity is depricated & encouraged to use AppCompatActivity.
