This is the styles.xml file. The following code results in this error - i have put all the necessary libraries and jar files and i have also tried changing the syntax little bit and many stuff but I am not able to solve the problem. It is very important. Please help me. Thank you.
I have tried the following :
You need to reference this AppCompat library in your Android project.
Import the library into Eclipse.
Right click on your Android project.
Select properties.
Click 'add...' at the bottom to add a library.
Select the support library
Clean and rebuild your project.
It still doesn't work.
Edit now :
I have installed android sdk 5.0 (API 21) but it still doesn't work. The line with the error is
There were 3 other errors before installing android sdk 5.0 (API 21) in this file (styles.xml) but now they are gone. Please help me to remove the remaining error.
If you are using material in the manifest, you will get this error if your min version isn't API 21
I try to use the android development tools trough Eclipse Luna.
Exactly I try to use the JBoss for cordova developmet
I have a problem to run the Android emulator. So I tried first to create a clear Android Application project and it have the following error.
What should I do to fix them and run the emulator properly?
styles.xml

ActionBar is found in support library v7. Maybe it's missing.
You can right click in your project -> Properties -> Android
There you should see a library added with a green mark like the following:
If you don't have any library there, you should import the library by going to: File -> Import -> Android -> Existing Android Code Into Workspace
Then look for your library v7 into the sdk folder like the following picture:
Then click finish:
And go back to right click on your project and go to properties to add the library by clicking in the Add... button and selecting the library:
Hope this solves your problem!
I added the AppCompat V7 library to add some Material Design elements to the UX of an app that has to support older devices (android:minSdkVersion="16")
I was able to add the Theme.AppCompat.Light theme to my app and even did some customizations of the action bar with #style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse. The problem comes when I try to do the simplest changes to the main theme, like changing colors as follow:
<style name="Theme.AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>
I keep getting this error: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'colorPrimaryDark'..
I already checked that the build targets for the project and AppCompat are the same, but with no luck.
I think it has something to do with refering to the resources from the library, because when I copy the themes.xml file to my project, it works.
Is that the way I'm supposed to do it? Wasn't the library there to contain all the resources I need so I wouldn't have to copy them manually?
Thanks!
Build targets for your project and AppCompat-v7 need to be both level 21.

I'm having trouble using ActionBarCompat support library which was released yesterday. I have updated support repository and included path to appcompat-v7 repository in build.gradle as Chris Banes pointing out in DevBytes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TGgYqfJnyc .
dependencies {
compile ('com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.+')
compile ('com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+')}
Build goes well and I can use classes such as ActionBarActivity from this library but I cannot use styles and any resources so I cannot use following themes - #style/Theme.AppCompat etc. I was thinking that I'll find source files in .../sdk/extras/android/.../"supportrepo" so I would reference it like ActionBarSherlock by gradle but that didn't seems to be the correct answer.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you.
I'm using Android Studio and I have the same res-resolving issue in the my values/styles.xml.
It says it cannot resolve #style/Theme.AppCompat.Light, but at compile-time (gradle) and runtime everything works fine (Android 2.3.3 & 4.3).
I'd like to get rid of the warning that the res cannot be resolved.
How can I tell Android Studio that this res can be found in the appcompat-v7 repo?
(This question was related to a bug in Android Studio that has already been fixed.)
Below you see what I did. I hope this will help. Suggestions appreciated.
The source for the appcompat library can found on github.
Gradle integration:
dependencies {
...
compile group:'com.android.support', name:'appcompat-v7', version:'18.0.+'
...
}

values/styles.xml:

MainActivity (only the extend is mandatory):
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Views.inject(this);
setupNavigationDrawer();
}
}
AndroidManifest.xml (setting android:theme is mandatory):
<activity
android:name="com.example.app.MainActivity"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
android:label="#string/app_name" >

There is a known bug (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=56312) where the Android Studio IDE will flag the style as red (that bug is for ActionBarSherlock, but the issue is to do with an aar containing styles and the sources for that aar not being visible to Android Studio).
Specifically, comment #8 (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=56312#c4) shows the observed behaviour, and comment #10 (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=56312#c10) notes that the layout editor is fixed, but the code editor is not.
Thus, the program should build & run fine, just show the style in red when viewed in the XML style editor.
I have not tried Gradle yet so I am not sure but it seems you also need to copy resources into your project.It contains Theme.AppCompat.
I got success in Eclipse by following below steps.
Import android-support-v7-appcompat as a libray project from below path.(you might have saved sdk on different path)
D:\adt-bundle-windows-x86\adt-bundle-windows-x86\sdk\extras\android\support\v7
The I just added this library into my project and things worked out of box.
I also added the same 2 lines to my dependencies section in the build.gradle file. Compiling started to work but I got runtime errors. Then I discovered the option Tools > Android > Sync Project with Gradle Files. This seemed to do the trick. (I'm on Android Studio 0.2.9)
In my case, Lastest Studio 0.8.1
Create new project and set Style to AppTheme. then crash.
My solution:
File -> Project Structure -> Dependicies -> + (plus) -> select appcompact, support, ....
And error fixed.
thanks.

Except someone forgot to update the support repository, so anyone
using android studio will have their gradle builds break when trying
to use the new support library.
