Solution 1:

The problem is that you are trying to use ActionBar on device running Android 2.2 (API level 8), but ActionBar was added in API level 11.

So you have basically two options here:

1. Don't use ActionBar in your app.
2. Use ActionBarSherlock library, it backports action bar back to Android 2.x (though you still need to make some minor changes in your code, read the docs of ActionBarSherlock for more details).
