I had the same issue (except my app crashed).

Basically, I just followed the Support Library Setup on the android site.

I had the following things wrong, and once fixed, the app ran as expected:

• Didn't add the android-support-v4.jar and android-support-v7-appcompat.jar to the build path (step 5)
• Didn't export android-support-v7-appcompat.jar to the build path (step 7)
• Had the android-support-v7-appcompat project added on the build path (Project > Properties > Java Build Path > Projects)

Once I fixed these things, I needed to remove and re-add the android-support-v7-appcompat project as a library (Project > Properties > Android > Library > Add)

Hope the link above helps anyone coming across this page.
