In themes.xml , I would like to change a theme from Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar to Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar but I get: cannot resolve symbol '@android:style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar' In the gradle file I added: compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1' I am using: compileSdkVersion 22 buildToolsVersion "22.0.1" I have also run gradle's clean command, but nothing seems to change. Any ideas? The AppCompat themes are not part of the built-in styles. You have to reference them without the '@android:style' prefix. Just use something like: <style name="AppTheme"

I am developing with the latest SDK version (API 21) and Support Library 21.0.2 and I've been having trouble when trying to implement the new Material Design guidelines.

I have searched all over StackOverflow and other websites as well, looking for a solution, but whatever was mentioned there looks like I already have done it. Here goes what I have

Need help regarding the color codes for buttons in HOLO DARK theme ICS. This question throws light into all the color codes for Holo theme except for the buttons in normal state. Thanks in advance. basic buttons holo theme ics. Ive got it now. If you want the default colors of Android ICS; you just have to go to your Android SDK and look after platforms\android-15\data\res\values and then colors.

I want to give the user the possibility to switch the colors skin of my entire application. I mean to switch the style of some custom views of the app dynamically when the user presses a button of the screen.

I think that my objective would be possible referencing colors
