This is because you are using ActionBarActivity, which requires the AppCompat theme to be applied.
Either use that theme, Or use simple Activity. See a similar issue

as Stated by MysticMagic change ActionBarActivity to Activity or change your theme to AppCompat
explore package got to res-> values->style.xml and change style
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">

Your issue is with AppTheme that you have set currently in you app.
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.
at android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivityDelegate.onCreate(ActionBarActivityDelegate.java:108)
You are inheriting you from ActionBarActivity so you have to use Theme.AppCompat for your application. Change app base theme in styles.xml to
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
If you are facing issue in loading this theme than please follow the below link to resolve compilation issue.
Can't Find Theme.AppCompat.Light for New Android ActionBar Support

if I remove the line of code the app runs just fine.
Any help would be great. Thanks as always in advance.
To change the Background use:
android:background=" "
You selected a wallpaper.
Try this instead
android:background="#b6db49">
Below you have said that you want to use the theme. So you have to go in the manifest and edit the theme there which is
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar">
If You've begun Your project in Android Studio by default main activity extends
ActionBarActivity which requires the AppCompat theme. Change the Java inheritance from ActionBarActivity to Activity and leave the theme in the manifest as it is. Or use AppCompat theme.

What causes android exception "You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity."

I am attempting to try out the new Material Theme in Android.

My res/values-v21/styles.xml resembles this
<!-- Activity themes -->
<style name="Theme.Styled" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light">
</style>
My application is running on a Nexus 7 with Android 5.0.2
my manifest file looks like this

</manifest>
I can make my application start by deleting the styles.xml file from my res/values-v21 folder.
I do not understand whats wrong and why removing the reference to the one theme I actually want to use fixes the issue.
What have I missed in my rush to try out Material?
If you're using ActionBarActivity then you need to use the ThemeCompat styles. You can only use Theme.Material if you use "Activity" instead.
You CAN still use API 21 items like tinting and elevation natively, but in order to use the native material theme you must use the Activity class.
You can still use a Material UI style while using the AppCompat libraries, however: http://android-developers.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/appcompat-v21-material-design-for-pre.html
You are attempting to use a feature (from the design library, for example) which was introduced after your target sdk. Therefore, you need to use a couple of libraries (design and appcompat), one of which is the AppCompat Theme (backwards app compatibility).
In your Manifest file, include in your application declaration
android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat"
Rebuild and your problem should be solved.

Null Pointer exception when extending ActionbarActivity Class

I am developing an expandable list view application on which i want to add action bar.
It seems for action bar visibility I need to extend ActionBarActivity Class, but to run my Expandable list activity I should extend activity class.
So, I changed following code
from
public class Time extends Activity {
to
public class Time extends ActionBarActivity {
assuming following hierarchy
java.lang.Object
↳ android.content.Context
↳ android.content.ContextWrapper
↳ android.view.ContextThemeWrapper
↳ android.app.Activity
↳ android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity
↳ android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity
But,when i run my application now i get null pointer exception at super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Please check log here:

Default Activity Not Found IntelliJ

When I run my app, I am taken to an Edit Configuration screen and it says, "Default Activity not found". I believe I got this error after I tried to import a library from another app I have.
I keep getting this error even after I rebuilt my project, restarted IntelliJ IDEA and file > Invalidated Cache. I did set a main activity so I'm not sure why it says that.
Here's the exception:

I can run my application anyway even though the "configuration is not set" and all is well.
Are you capable to "select" the activity from the list of activities ?
There is an activity defined in AndroidManifest as the main activity (launcher)
If it shows Edit configuration Screen and Error as "Default activity not found" then go to your manifest file and in activity tag which will be your launching activity name should be like "packageName.MainActivty" instead of ".MainActivity" see below code for your reference
<activity
android:name="com.your.package.name.YourActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>

I've tried everything to try to get this to work. I am trying to get a tabbed window; I followed a tutorial and made sure every step was correct but every time I load it on to the AVD, it force closes. I am an amateur, so go easy on me! Any and all help will be appreciated.

If I need to provide any other classes associated or xml files, please just ask. I included what I thought was necessary to answer the question. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Instead of tabs, I've decided to use a main screen with buttons. It's a simple design and I know that it'll work
Extending TabActivity should be done like below:
TabHost mTabHost = getTabHost();
Note that tabhost is depreciated and it is recommended to use TabLayout with fragments.
Hey i just had the same problem like you but i had to extend my MainActivity from TabActivity to Activity and clean my project. every thing runned just fine. try it
