ActionBarSherlock library is full of errors after being imported

Question

Okay, I'm trying to get ActionBarSherlock working, so I imported the library by:

Creating New Project > Create Project From Existing Source > Choosing library from the ActionBarSherlock folder

After that I imported a example project from the samples folder using the same method, Both the library and the sample are set to Android 15 Build Path!

My problem is, over 100 errors come up in the library, all kinds of stuff about Call requires api level 11, And I have no idea whats wrong!

Things I have tried:
Cleaning Project
Setting build path to 13, 14 and 15

Most of the errors say:

Call requires API level 11 (current min is 8): android.app.something

Update: I tried right clicking on the lib file and clicking add to build path, that didnt work, these are a few of the errors that I'm getting:

Answer 1

• Go to Project Properties > Java Compiler. Use JDK 1.6.
• Ensure you're compiling both the library and your app with Android 4.0+
• Ensure your targetSdkVersion is 14 or higher.

Answer 2

1. In the project explorer, locate the android-support-v4.jar file in the libs directory. Right click this file and add it to your build path with:
