Android Error inflating class com.actionbarsherlock.internal.widget.ActionBarContainer

Question

Recently I've added ActionBarSherlock to my android project. After adding it and testing application on AVD version 4.1 everything was fine, but launching application at 2.3.3 gives the next type of errors when starting activity at setContentView:

Does anybody have an idea what could cause that type of error? Any ideas? I can't find a solution for this problem.

Answer 1

I fixed this problem by re-adding clear ActionBarSherlock library. First time I have fixed all warnings in library, and that caused the problem. So don't try to fix warnings in ActionBarSherlock. Hope this will help somebody.
