ActionBarSherlock vs ActionBarCompat:

I Just want to put few code difference between ActionBarSherlock vs ActionBarCompat Lib

ActionBarSherlock vs ActionBarCompat **strong text**

We can migrate some apps from ActionBarSherlock to ActionBarCompat:

steps:

  1. Import AppCompat project.

  2. Replace SherlockFragmentActivity with ActionBarActivity.

  3. Replace SherlockFragment with Fragment.

  4. Change Menu, MenuItem and getSupportMenuInflater() references.
    Modify the way you get Action Views.

    mSearchView = (SearchView)MenuItemCompat.getActionView(mSearchItem)

  5. Modify your Themes and Styles.

For more info, please refer this slides by +NickButcher (Google)
