There is now an ActionBarCompat sample code demo ( http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ActionBarCompat/index.html). Is there a reason the ActionBar not been added to the ACL? Are there any plans to add it to the ACL? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Thanks Dianne for the explanation. I forgot that that was the reason ActionBarSherlock is a library project and not a jar (the resource problem). FYI, it's still called the Android Compatibility package in the Android SDK Manager. I understand your reasoning for it being called the support

Hmm, on my Ubuntu, Eclipse Indigo, ADT 14 setup it's still called Android Compatibility package in the Android SDK Manager (with rev4 installed). Also, right clicking on a project - Android Tools shows Add Compatibility Library..., and the jar itself is stored under extras/android/compatibility/

A good example of a widget that should never have been in the platform is the sliding drawer. Why can't you deprecate something like that and add an implementation of it to the CL, so people could still be using it if they want to? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

Check out ActionBarSherlock, which wraps the HC action bar on HC and supplies an alternative implementation for older devices. Works much like the ACL (even to the point where the author used an android.* package name, which is really not a good idea). On Sat, Jul 16, 2011 at 6:34 AM, b0b
