Problems with ActionBarSherlock themeing

Problems with ActionBarSherlock themeing

In the application I am working with an ActionBar Sherlock. The error I am
getting seems to be very strange as I am using the same theme for 2 other
activities in the application.
Manifest:
<activity
android:name=".ABC"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/transTheme" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="com.example.ABC"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".XYZ"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/transTheme" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="com.example.XYZ"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".123"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/transTheme" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="com.example.123"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Style:
<!-- Transparent Layout Themeing -->
<style name="transTheme" parent="android:style/Theme.Translucent">
<item name ="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name ="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
<item name ="android:backgroundDimEnabled">true</item>
<item name ="android:background">@android:color/transparent</item>
</style>
As in the manifest file, activities ABC and XYZ work without errors. I get
my error in activity 123.

setContentView(R.layout.123layout);
I did try using the
setTheme(R.style.transTheme)
in the java class which got rid of the error but this didn't the activity
its transparency. The application works fine for devices HoneyComb and
above. I am only getting this error on devices below Android 3.0. Please
help.
