Android split action bar

my question is certainly stupid, but i really don't understand how to create an split action bar...
I found that on an other topic :
ActionBar bar = getActionBar();
bar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
String[] tabContent = {"test1", "test2"};
for (int i=0; i < tabContent.length; i++) {
Tab tab = bar.newTab();
tab.setText(tabContent[i]);
tab.setTabListener(this);
bar.addTab(tab);
}
My problem is this split action bar is at the top of my action bar, and not below the action bar.. I don't understand how to change its position.
EDIT : i found the problem but i don't know how to solve it.
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
If i delete these two lines, it's good, but i want to keep the back button..
DIT 2 : i want to do the same thing on the second screen : http://developer.android.com/images/ui/actionbar-splitaction#2x.png

There is nothing in your code that has anything to do with a split action bar. You are setting up action bar tabs.
My problem is this split action bar is at the top of my action bar, and not below the action bar
Action bar tabs will be placed where the action bar wants them to be. Depending upon screen size and orientation, that could be:
in the action bar itself, as tabs
in the action bar itself, as a drop-down list
immediately beneath the action bar
If you want tabs to always appear immediately beneath the action bar, use a different tab solution, such as a ViewPager and PagerTabStrip.

Hide Action Bar while showing Split Action Bar

How can I hide the top Action Bar but show the Split Action Bar using ActionBarSherlock. I would like to have Tabs at the top instead like this:
The Android developer site states the following to hide the action bar but keep the split action bar:
If you'd like to hide the main action bar at the top, because you're
using the built-in navigation tabs along with the split action bar,
call setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false) to disable the application icon
in the action bar. In this case, there's now nothing left in the main
action bar, so it disappears and all that’s left are the navigation
tabs at the top and the action items at the bottom, as shown by the
second device in figure 3.
https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/tablets-and-handsets.html#SplitActionBar
In my SherlockFragmentActivity I call the following, however only the app icon and title disappear and the action bar stays like this:
//Hide action bar
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
Calling getSupportActionBar().hide() hides the action bar but also hides the split action bar.

The tabs only roll up into the top action bar if you are using the Tabs provided by ABS. You're not using ViewPager/ViewPagerIndicator for the tabs by any chance are you? (I have this issue currently)

Action Bar Sherlock - Hide Actions on Collapse

I have three actions with the property SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS since I want to have the three of them always showing. However one of them has a collapse action view, and I wan't to hide the other two to have the full action bar for my layout when I click the action. Is there any way to do this?
This only seems to work if I use SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM but this way I only get two items on the action bar instead of three.
