I was following one SIMPLE tutorial of Sherlock Action Bar. I followed each and every step. The problem is I'm getting error on versions 2.1 to 2.3 and working fine on 4.0 to 4.1.
I'm using Android SDK tools 20.0.3 And Eclipse version 4.2.0
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
In above code it says R cannot be resolved to a variable
.
and some more errors are as follows:

For better understanding, here are some images:
My manifest file is:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.action.bar"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="7"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<application
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/Theme.Sherlock" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/title_activity_main" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".Google"></activity>
</application>
Somebody assist me in fixing these errors in Android 2.3
The same code is working fine in Android 4.0.3
