# Library Samples

The library comes with three samples, each of which demonstrate a different use case of ActionBarSherlock.

A compiled `.apk` for each sample can be downloaded under the "Sample Applications" section of the download page. You can obtain the source code for each in the `samples/` directory of the repository.

### Demo

The demo sample is a showcase of the functionality of the library (most notably, the action bar). There are several demos of different functionality but the most important is the feature toggles. A set of buttons make up the layout of this activity which allow you to toggle virtually all of the display-related settings of the action bar to observe how it behaves on various device configurations.

### Shakespeare

The shakespeare sample was used to introduce fragments on the Android Blog and is now part of the SDK's API Demos. The demo has been modified slightly to show how ActionBarSherlock operates as an extension of the compatibility library.

### Styled

The styled sample is an application developed by Nick Butcher and posted on the Android Developers Blog as an example of how to use theming capabilities of Android to allow the action bar to match the style of your application.

# Open-Source Apps

The following are open-source applications which implement ActionBarSherlock. These should provide a more realistic view of what implementation is like provide solutions for common implementation problems.

If your application uses this library and is open source please contact Jake Wharton to have it added to this list.
