diffrence between Appcompact activity and actionbar activity

In Android What is the main difference between extending a class from AppCompatActivity and ActionBarActivity? How do these classes differ?

Solution

  • ActionBarActivity is now deprecated. As of version 22.1 of the support library you should use AppCompatActivity.

    Chris Banes (one of the authors of the AppCompat library) covered the refactor in detail here.
