Use gingerbread theme cold / Holo style

Question

I am currently creating an application for a client. I like the Holo light with a dark action theme / style, but that means I will have to use API 14 and above. If I set the minimum API level to 14, then only about 50% of Android users will be able to get the application, so I need to set the minimum API level to 9 (Gingerbread).

Finally, the question is: is there a way to use a theme / style on a gingerbread or even put Holo light with a dark action style in the values?

Answer 1

You can use the Action Bar Sherlock toolbar , which has Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar (among other things). With it, you can almost completely emulate API 14 on earlier devices.
