Android-support-v7-appcompat Has Same Attrs As Actionbarsherlock Library

I'm trying to get chromecast integration in my app but I'm having build issues when I add the android-support-v7-appcompat to my project. Basically it has an attrs.xml file that h

Solution 1:

I just encounter the same problem and had a hard time for several hours figuring this out. this is how I solved it.

You usually need support-v7-appcompat if your minimum sdk supported is below API14.

1. I removed support-v7-appcompat as my library. (This will show error regarding missing theme.)

2. For all the styles.xml in all folders (mine are) values, values-v11 and values-v14

   style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light"

   replace it with

   style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light"

3. for some reason, in my menu xml file. it had error for android:showAsAction. I was able to solve it by deleting it then save and then copying the same thing from another file i have because I want that function. (Really weird it was just the same text.)

4. I did my sherlock code adjustments needed for my app

I am now able to run actionbar in 2.3.3
