styles.xml - error: no resource found for theme Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar

[stfulton]

Using Eclipse, I've created a new Android Project From Existing Code.

It appears with a red x in the icon.

in res/values/styles.xml at line 4 there seems to be an error.

Line 4: <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 
 'Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar'.

(I've followed the most excellent tutorial on configuring Eclipse to work with the red5pro streaming server.)

I'm building for 4.2.2. But I am new to Android!

Any ideas about this?

Thank you!

It appears as though you may be using an old android SDK. Please make sure that you update Android SDK: https://www.red5pro.com/docs/streaming/android/#upgrading-the-sdk-in-your-project

and you Server: https://www.red5pro.com/docs/server/serverupgrade/

Hi Holden -

I'm sure I'm working with an updated version of the Android SDK. Particularly since I recently downloaded Android Studio, which would have updated the same SDK that Eclipse uses (I believe).

However, this link: https://www.red5pro.com/docs/streaming/android/#upgrading-the-sdk-in-your-project

refers to updating the red5 streaming SDK (red5streaming.jar plus the platform-specific source files in jibLibs) not the Android SDK.

Also, this is specific to Android Studio, whereas I'm working with Eclipse. (I realize Google wants everyone on Android Studio and they finished supporting Eclipse ADT plugin almost a year ago).

Also, isnt this link is for upgrading from a previous version of the streaming SDK? (ie from a previous version to 1.0.0?)

I dont think this is even necessary now since GitHub examples are updated with SDK v 1.0.0 of the SDK...

As to second link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18364682/theme-appcompat-light-darkactionbar-no-resource-found

I'm pretty sure that I had the appcompat-v4 library referenced in this project, but I actually blew it away in frustration in order to start over again!

Hello Tim,

My apologies for not being more clear. We have updated the Red5 Pro Server, and Android SDK (separate from Android Studio SDKs) to version 1.1.0. With that in mind, you are right in that the example apps will have the updated SDK in them if you pull the changes. I should have updated those documents before I sent them out to you. Thank you for the feedback.

Please let me know if I can do anything else for you.

Thanks, Holden

Add the theme at manifest file

[castasat]

1. Go to your project directory (or to Project View)
2. Find and open .idea directory
3. Remove caches and libraries directories <-- this is essential
4. Invalidate Caches / Restart
