Follow the steps mentioned for using support ActionBar in Android Studio(0.4.2) :

Download the Android Support Repository from Android SDK Manager, SDK Manager icon will be available on Android Studio tool bar (or Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager).

After download you will find your Support repository here

$SDK_DIR\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\appcompat-v7

Open your main module's build.gradle file and add following dependency for using action bar in lower API level

• Exit Android Studio
• Delete all the .iml files and files inside .idea folder from your
  project

cannot resolve symbol actionbaractivity

ActionBarActivity is deprecated for a long time. And your import statement suggests to use AppCompatActivity instead:

public class Game extends AppCompatActivity {

Cannot resolve symbol actionBarActivity - Android

Extend AppCompatActivity instead.

(EDIT: I saw you made a comment about HAX, that's emulator specific. To test your emulator, you would open another AS project and see if it will open in the emulator. It may be possible that HAX isn't supported on your computer.)

android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity not resolve

Make sure you've downloaded the package android.support.v7. Then, Import the whole appcompat lib (/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat) as a library project to your workspace and then add to your main project as a library:

Here are the steps.

First check if android-support-v7-appcompat is already in your workspace. If it is go to Step 2

Step 1:

Select File > Import.

Select Existing Android Code Into Workspace and click Next.

Browse to the SDK installation directory and then to the Support Library folder. /extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/.

Click Finish to import the project. For the v7 appcompat project, you should now see a new project titled android-support-v7-appcompat.

Step 2:

Right-click on your project -> Properties
In Android->Library section click Add
Select android-support-v7-appcompat -> Ok
