<!--

-->
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- API 14 theme customizations can go here. -->
</style>

Change parent attribute to parent="android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar"

Right-click your project in the Package Explorer > select Properties > select Android > and set Project Build Target to API level 14 or higher.

Right Click your project->properties->Android, then Add android-support-v7-appcompat
You can import this library from your android-sdk folder->extras->android->support->v7->appcompat

Disappearing R.class - Android Application Development

I'm struggling with disappearing R.class due to some problem in styles.xml - it says
Error retrieving parent for item:
No resource found that matches the given name 'Theme.AppCompat.Light'.
Problem appeared while exporting project to another laptop....
styles.xml below.
Thanks in advance.
<resources>
<!--

by AppBaseTheme from res/values-vXX/styles.xml on newer devices.
-->
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<!--

res/values-vXX/styles.xml, while customizations related to
backward-compatibility can go here.
-->
</style>
<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->

This means you do not have the support library in your build path on your new machine. See the adding support libraries with resources section of the docs for your answer.

First of all I suppose you tried Project -> Clean or to close and re-open eclipse itself. Then you must ensure of adding support libraries as said up.

Lack of R file can be caused by many reasons.
Possible Solutions
Sol 1. Since it is associated with Theme.AppCompat.Light( which is defined in support library) it may be caused by lack support library in your build path(Appcompat).
Sol 2. Check the version of appcompat and make sure you have the latest one.
Sol 3. Just to be sure. Undo latest changes done in any xml files( or replace the xml file from history).
Sol 4. If you have already added support library and the problem still exists then delete android-support-v4.jar from lib folder if present( this is because conflicting support jar files can cause R file errors).
Sol 5. Check Project Build Target.(Project>Properties>Android)
You can also make sure 'Theme.AppCompat.Light' is present in your support library by placing the cursor between the text(Theme.AppCompat.Light) and press control button which should underline the whole text.
I hope it helped..

I'm using Android SDK 2.3

With android sdk 2.3 you can not control or change behavior of action bar..
for that min sdk should be sdk 3.0 or above.
for further you can see this documentation.
