Change "AppTheme" to not use Material. For example try:

I had a very similar issue on my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Running Android 4.2. It worked when I changed Styles.xml to use "android:Theme.Holo" or "Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar".

I haven't been able to find any information on exactly why this happens, and why it seems to only affect Samsung products. If you really want to include Material as a style, you could try adding another style file to use with devices that have API level 21 or higher. More info on that is here under the section "Select a theme based on platform version"

Please keep us updated if you find any other fixes.
