Well, I've just seen that ActionBarSherlock is actually implemented with Fragments, so you have two options:

1. Use ActionBarSherlock. In this case I would follow the tutorial http://actionbarsherlock.com/usage.html and look at samples described in http://actionbarsherlock.com/samples.html
2. Implement your own bar using Fragments, if you want to customize it more (or use it for other ends). In this case I would follow the tutorial http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html

As a general tip, I recommend the site http://www.vogella.com/android.html. It has great tutorials about a wide range of subjects in Android programming.
