the first problem here they're using different versions of support lib (android-support-v4.jars).

for second problem, have use 1 of sherlock themes project run. actionbarsherlock needs many definitions action bar styled correctly. needs these styles , have use abs themes. can use own theme, of course, must use 1 of sherlock’s themes base yours. see sherlock theming guide more information on this.

change androidmanifest.xml file use sherlock theme:

<application    android:allowbackup="true"    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"    android:label="@string/app_name"    android:theme="@style/theme.sherlock.light" >     <!-- ... -->  </application>
