actionbar setnavigationmode deprecated

Hi I'm making an app in which I plan on showing floor & category wise listing of stores inside a mall.

Below snap show an activity showing floor wise listing of stores

I was thinking of adding a spinner in the ActionBar showing "by Floor" and "by Category" as options. Clicking on "by Category" would arrange the stores according to the category in which they belong. After googling a bit I found

getActionBar().setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST);

would be apt but now I see that its deprecated, putting it as an action item in the activity menu doesn't look like a very good idea. Any suggestions ?

setNavigationMode it's deprecated because on Lollipop it has being replaced by a new paradigm.

You have two options, at least:

Ignore it unless you are targeting 21+ API and developing only for Lollipop.
Use AppCompat; samples here: https://github.com/google/iosched

Personally, I went for option 1.

The Google I/O 2014 Android App contain what you need

SlidingTabLayout.java ,check out here

and the SlidingTabStrip.java

there are two files could implement what you show up there.
