No resource found that matches the given name '@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light'

Question

I have been on this problem for a couple hours. After downloading a repository from github, the only error in any .xml file is:

No resource found that matche         


        

Answer 1

Below are the steps you can try it out to resolve the issue: -

1. Provide reference of AppCompat Library into your project.
2. If option 1 doesn't solve the issue then you can try to change the style.xml file to below code.

 parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light"  

instead.

 parent="android:Theme.AppCompat.Light"  

But option 2 will require minimum sdk version 14.

Hope this will help !
