ActionBarSherlock is an extension of the compatibility library designed to facilitate the use of the action bar design pattern across all versions of Android with a single API.

The library will automatically use the native action bar when available 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 back through 1.6.

# Usage

Interaction with the action bar is provided through a single API by calling `getSupportActionBar()`. The methods provided by this interface mirror those of the native action bar exactly.

Enabling support is as simple as extending your activities from `FragmentActivity` and declaring a theme in your manifest file.

# Theming

A single theme can be used to style the action bar to match the look and feel of your application.

If you need to customize the look for a phone or tablet, Android's powerful resource filtering can still be leveraged.
