 <p>I had same problem and solve it by change in <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code>. You have to set theme of particular Activity or complete application to <code>Theme.Sherlock.Light</code> (I think you can specify only <code>Theme.Sherlock</code>).</p> <p>In code it will be:</p> <pre><code>&lt;application ... android:theme="@style/Theme.Sherlock.Light"&gt; </code></pre> <p>or</p> <pre><code>&lt;activity ... android:theme="@style/Theme.Sherlock.Light"&gt; </code></pre>
