Any ideas?

Be sure to set the Target API Level (of both the ActionBarSherlock project and yours) to 15. To do this:

  1. Change android:targetSdkVersion to "15" in both AndroidManifest.xml files.
  2. Change the build target to "Android 4.0.3" (or an equivalent 3rd-Party API) using the Project Properties (probably also of both ActionBarSherlock and your project).

I didn't find any documentation of this change, but just found out by trial 'n' error.
