Using actionbar before API Level 11

Question

I'm currently trying to create an ActionBar for my Android application. But I need it to work in Android 2.2 and 2.3 too. Is there any way to implement ActionBar in Android 2.3/2.2?

Have a look at ActionBarSherlock. Just add the library to your Android project and overwrite Activity with SherlockActivity, so you have all the possibilities of an Actionbar.

You can use the actionbar with ActionBarSherlock. It is simple to install and can do everything you need. For the beginning you can start here to read.

ActionbarSherlock is a library that makes almost all features of the ActionBar available on Android 2.1 and up. When you use a API Level that supports the action bar natively it will automatically use the native action bar instead.
