Actionbar's onNavigationItemSelected(int position, long itemId) not triggered after horizontal swipe in Gingerbread

Question

I have implemented Tab view as well as Horizontal swipe view(to change tabs) with Navigation mode as Lists for the application. I am using ActionBarSherlock & TabPageIndicator. I used fragments for reloading the contents after changing the tabs.

In drop down spinner, I have 2 items. These are getting selected whenever activity reloads or after hitting on Tabs.

But, if swipe is performed to select other tab, then onNavigationItemSelected(int position, long itemId) will not getting triggered in Gingerbread version :( We have tested it on Gingerbread 2.3.6, 2.3.3.

In logcat, I got this warning message "View:onTouchEvent:ViewFlags" is DISABLED

But, it works perfectly fine on ICS, Froyo, etc.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

following is the code snippet:

public class MainPageActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity implements         ActionBar.OnNavigationListener {      MenuItem menuItem;     EditText searchText;     public static Context mContext;

    public static String checktab = "running", nameComp;     int isRefresh;     public static boolean isAutoRefresh = true;     public static ArrayList<String> listItems;     public static boolean check;     public static boolean isAtleastOnce = true, listToBeRefreshed = false;     public static ActionBar actionBar;     public static int itemPosition, listPosition;     public static FragmentManager fragmentManager;

         tabPagerFunction();      }      public void tabPagerFunction() {          FragmentPagerAdapter adapter = new GoogleMusicAdapter(                 getSupportFragmentManager());         adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

Try doing this

dependencies {  compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+" } 

and use support library instead.
