ActionBarCompat on Gingerbread fills whole screen

Question

So we've successfully stripped ActionBarSherlock from the Zappos app in favor of the new ActionBarCompat and it works great on Honeycomb+ but on Gingerbread the action bar expands to fill the whole screen and I cannot figure out why it's happening. We basically just changed all the themes/styles/references to ActionBarSherlock to be the equivalents in ActionBarCompat. Below is a screen shot of the issue. Anyone else run across this on GB and know of a fix? It's holding up a release for us :\

Answer 1

Alright so I figured it out finally... we had copied the appcompat source code as a library project rather than using the com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+ dependency in gradle. After switching to the dependency in gradle and removing the appcompat source from our project it works as intended now.
