You are using

My minimum sdk version is 8 and target is 15

Action BAr will not work on API's lower than Android 3.0 (API level 11) even with android-support-v4.jar .

As a solution you can use action bar sherlock for backward compatibility .

The library will automatically use the native action bar when appropriate or will automatically wrap a custom implementation around your layouts. This allows you to easily develop an application with an action bar for every version of Android from 2.x and up.
