25. No action bar Code «infection» Cannot extend MapActivity since you have to extends custom Activity class

26. Written by Jake Whorton Easy to use (git clone) Includes & based on support libraries Elaborate. Support for wide range of Honeycomb and ICS features Actionbar Navigation Modes, Tabs and spinners in the action bar. Contextual Action Bar / ActionMode The ICS feature "split action bar“ Plugin for MapActvity (!) www.actionbarsherlock.com Apache License Version 2.0

30. We have used the support libraries, through ActionBarSherlock to get ICS looking apps on pre-ICS phones (back to 1.6 supported) The price Must use a custom theme Must extends SherlockActivity classes Must use overloaded methods, and use getSuppportMenuInflater() etc.

32. WHAT Introduced in Android 3.0 Reusable UI components Have their own lifecycle Can add their own items to actionbar etc. WHY Code Reuse Fragments are integrated into the ICS SDK

47. The Android OS and devices are both forward- and backwards compatible in regard to OS versions Android has excellent support for layout on devices with different screen sizes and densities By using the ActionbarSherlock/Fragment activities you can write code that use fragments and deploy on tablets and phones By using ActionbarSherlock you can get the «ICS look» on your Android 1.X + devices today.
