I don't understand why this error appear cause it's work perfectly on my devices
Anyone have an idea ?
Here is a part of my Manifest.xml
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/Theme.Sherlock" >
Thanks
Don't use android:theme="#style/Theme.Sherlock".
Use setTheme(R.style.Theme_Sherlock); inside OnCreate.
E.g.
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setTheme(R.style.Theme_Sherlock);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// What you want to do here
}
You can just make your style inherit from Theme.Sherlock
<style name="MyAppTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock">
then in manifest use your theme
android:theme="#style/MyAppTheme"
You do not have to use setTheme on every page as Muz said this seem like a lot of work when there are much better solutions, would mark the above answer down but I can't !!
I agree with matt_lethargic. In my style file was:
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
My application stoped crashing after I changed it to:
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock">

I looked at other SO posts and configured accordingly. But I still see this issue on some Android devices (4.3.1). It works 75% of time.
You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.
What is wrong with code below?
BaseActivity extends android.support.v7.appAppCompatActivity
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
All activities (crashed acitivity as well) use AppTheme from application tag. One activity uses:
<activity
android:name=".Activities.EntryActivity"
android:noHistory="true"
android:theme="#style/SplashTheme" >
I don't have any other style.xml.
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
</style>
<style name="SplashTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#drawable/background_splash</item>
</style>
From Android:
<style name="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

try this:

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

</activity>
I know that this question has been asked before, but the provided answers did not solve my case, so I'll ask for an individual solution.
My code
My AndroidManifest.xml looks like this:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".KategorieAuswahl"
android:label="#string/title_activity_kategorie_auswahl" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".ZeigeFragen"
android:label="#string/title_activity_zeige_fragen" >
</activity>
</application>
And my styles.xml looks like this:
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
</resources>
I want my App to open in fullscreen and to hide the TitleBar. The first thing I did was to add a android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" attribute to the <application>-Tag of my AndroidManifest.xml.

There are multiple questions on stackoverflow referencing this error.
Approach #1
One solution suggests to change the Java inheritance from ActionBarActivity to Activity and leave the manifest as it is.
So I updated my the <style> element in my styles.xml and removed the DarkActionBar part:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
This still gives me the same error.
Approach #2
The next solution suggests to change my styles.xml's parent attribute from
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
to <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
This makes it possible to use android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar" for my <activity>, but I don't see an option to make it fullscreen then.
Approach #3
Another solution soggests to add <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item> to my <style> element but this doesn't change anything at all.
Conclusion
I really tried a lot, but nothing seems to work. Anyway I have problems understanding the theme inheritance chain and when I may use .NoTitleBar and .Fullscreen.
After all I don't care which theme to use, as long I can make the app fullscreen without a title bar. Can you help me to pick the right attributes?
extend ActionBarActivity or the new one, and use Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar, now in your Activity
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 16) {
Activity.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
}else{
Activity.getWindow().getDecorView().
setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
}
Hope it helps..
I'm using ActionBarSherlock with Android Action Bar Style Generator (http://jgilfelt.github.io/android-actionbarstylegenerator/) and it works perfectly with API v14+, but on v10-v14, I get the following:

Is there anyway to get the style generator to work with the Api 10-14? Right now I have it set to default to Theme.Sherlock when using the lower API phones, so the bug goes away, but its not the style I would like.
What style would you like?
The theme generator works with stock Android Holo, ActionbarSherlock or Appcompat.
Theme.Sherlock, Theme.Sherlock.Light and Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionbar are all just ports of Holo, Holo.Light, and Holo.Light.DarkActionbar, so any theme that you can get in api 11+, you can get with ActionbarSherlock.
What style are you trying to achieve?
I got a very strange issue. Im using ActionbarSherlock in my project. And on very few Devices i get a:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{de.felitec.dow/de.felitec.dow.ui.LoginActivity}: java.lang.IllegalStateException: You must use Theme.Sherlock, Theme.Sherlock.Light, Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar, or a derivative.

My LoginActivity looks like this:
public class LoginActivity extends SherlockActivity implements AuthCallback<OAuthConsumer> {
private ProgressDialog progDialog;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.login);
}
...
And my Manifest:
<application
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_app_launcher"
android:name=".MainApplication"
android:theme="#style/MainAppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".ui.SplashActivity"

</activity>
<activity

android:screenOrientation="portrait"/>
...
And finally my style.xml:
<style name="MainAppTheme" parent="#style/Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="homeAsUpIndicator">#drawable/back_indicator</item>
...
Notice that the SplashActivity works just fine. When it starts the intent for LoginActivity it crashes, and i dont really see why.
thanks in advance
Update your Manifiest file with this.
android:theme="#style/Theme.Sherlock"
I have a TabActivity that seems to be dieing on a small set of phones when I add the Drawable to it. From the reports, the same tab code ran successfully at one point, but suddenly stopped during one launch(usually via pending intent)
The code thats executing in onCreate is this
spec = theTtabHost.newTabSpec(STATS_TAG).setIndicator(getText(R.string.statsTab),
res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_stats))
The stack trace I receive is here

The ic_tab_stats.xml file is in drawable, and is here.
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/stats"
android:state_selected="true" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/stats_deselect" />
</selector>
The stats.png and stats_deselect.png are peers inside drawable. hdpi and ldpi do not have either file, and mdpi is empty. My app supports back to 1.5, so I used drawable instead of mdpi.
From the reports, it seems to be pretty random.
Turns out this is sort of normal behavior on Android upgrades.
