Determine if action bar is split

Question

Answer 1

The bottom bar should match the height of the regular action bar. Thus, using ?android:attr/actionBarSize (or in ActionBarSherlock's case ?attr/actionBarSize) for the height in XML or getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.attr.actionBarSize) in code should suffice.

Er, on a second read of your question it seems more focused on also determining whether or not the split action bar exists.
