Thanks For Helping :D
 
This is not a simple task. First you need add libraries support-v4 and appcompat-v7 , read here: http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/index.html
These libraries contains new widgets, missing in Gingerbread, for example ActionBar, DrawerLayout,ViewPager, and styles with support material design. Then you need to add action bars into your activvity layouts, new themes to manifest, and many more
