title: Theme not applying to emulator device
body: <p>I have a one activity and one layout application. I am implementing ActionBarSherlock, but my theme isn't applying to my emulator/early devices.</p>
  
  <p>My theme.xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;resources&gt;
  
      &lt;!-- the theme applied to the application or activity --&gt;
      &lt;style name="CustomActivityTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock"&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:actionBarStyle"&gt;@style/MyActionBar&lt;/item&gt;
          &lt;!-- other activity and action bar styles here --&gt;
      &lt;/style&gt;
  
      &lt;!-- style for the action bar backgrounds --&gt;
      &lt;style name="MyActionBar" parent="Widget.Sherlock.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse"&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:backgroundSplit"&gt;#4200ff&lt;/item&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:backgroundStacked"&gt;#4200ff&lt;/item&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:background"&gt;#4200ff&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;/style&gt;
  
  
  &lt;/resources&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This causes the ActionBar on my JellyBean device to turn blue, but it stays black on my 2.2 emulator.</p>
  
  <p>Here is a piece from my manifest.xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;application
          android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
          android:label="@string/app_name"
          android:theme="@style/CustomActivityTheme"&gt;
  </code></pre>
