I have created my app for version 4.0+ and now adding support for devices running on Android api level 7+.
I have added ActionBarSherlock for action bar and similar components; so I've solved many problems with that. However, I couldn't find a way for SearchView component. Should I create a custom view which has edit box and call it only devices which don't have SearchView?
How do you solve this problem?
since you use actionBarSherlock, you can use SearchViewCompat .

if you wish to customize the way it looks on multiple android versions, you can use addTextChangedListener on the editText that you will probably use.
