Problem

I successfully compiled ActionBarSherlock in Eclipse. But I get 75 errors when I use it in a new project: ``` abs4.1.0\library\res\values-v14\abs__styles.xml:4: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Holo.ActionBar'. abs4.1.0\library\res\values-v14\abs__styles.xml:6: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Holo.ActionBar.Solid'. abs4.1.0\library\res\values-v14\abs__styles.xml:8: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar'. abs4.1.0\library\res\values-v14\abs__styles.xml:10: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid'. abs4.1.0\library\res\values-v14\abs__styles.xml:12: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse'. abs4.1.0\library\res\values-v14\abs__styles.xml:15: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Holo.ActionBar.TabView'. abs4.1.0\library\res\values-v14\abs__styles.xml:17: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.TabView'. abs4.1.0\library\res\values-v14\abs__styles.xml:19: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.TabView.Inverse'. abs4.1.0\library\res\values\abs__styles.xml:89: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:dividerPadding'. abs4.1.0\library\res\values\abs__styles.xml:88: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:showDividers'. ``` MainActivity.java: ``` package com.stackoverflow.users.comfreek.testproject import android.os.Bundle; import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockActivity; public class MainActivity extends SherlockActivity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); } } ``` I already set the activity theme to `@style/Theme.Sherlock`.
