Well, you did read the error message, right? :) The parent style seems to be wrong (maybe in one of the configurations?)

When you use actionbarsherlock, in your AndroidManifest.xml you should be specify theme which is inherit from sherlock theme.
ex:

Reference to #966 ?

Im using "Theme.Sherlock" style, and I have this exact error in my Developer Console. This is my Manifest:

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/Theme.Sherlock" >

[thuannv]

You should specify theme inherits from Theme.Sherlock in your activity instead of your application, as my AndroidManifest.xml below:

    <activity
        android:name="com.vng.labansecurity.MainActivity"
        android:configChanges="screenSize"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:launchMode="singleTask"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.Sherlock"
        android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" >
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.UI_OPTIONS"
            android:value="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" />

        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
