Unable to build using ADT several errors (see comment)

Hello and thank you for the awesome work. disclaimer: I am new to android dev and I am just learning so I may be missing something, please bear with me and let me know anything.

So I downloaded the repository as a zip and imported the "core" project. I followed all the steps in BUILDING.txt I added the libraries needed, and I am targeting 4.2.2 at the moment (I tried various versions of 4.xx)

I get the following errors:

In styles: Description Resource Path Location Type error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Theme.Sherlock'. styles.xml /Core/res/values line 16 Android AAPT Problem error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'actionBarTabStyle'. styles.xml /Core/res/values line 18 Android AAPT Problem error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Widget.Sherlock.Light.ActionBar.TabView'. styles.xml /Core/res/values line 22 Android AAPT Problem error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'selectableItemBackground'. styles.xml /Core/res/values line 17 Android AAPT Problem

In Strings: Description Resource Path Location Type error: Resource entry hint_total_reports is already defined. strings.xml /Core/res/values-mk line 229 Android AAPT Problem error: Resource entry hint_total_reports is already defined. strings.xml /Core/res/values line 250 Android AAPT Problem error: Resource entry choose_categories is already defined. strings.xml /Core/res/values-ko line 211 Android AAPT Problem error: Resource entry choose_categories is already defined. strings.xml /Core/res/values-de line 215 Android AAPT Problem error: Resource entry no_reports is already defined. strings.xml /Core/res/values line 251 Android AAPT Problem error: Resource entry hint_phonenumber is already defined. strings.xml /Core/res/values-ko line 222 Android AAPT Problem error: Resource entry hint_phonenumber is already defined. strings.xml /Core/res/values-de line 226 Android AAPT Problem error: Resource entry hint_total_reports is already defined. strings.xml /Core/res/values-ko line 224 Android AAPT Problem error: Resource entry choose_categories is already defined. strings.xml /Core/res/values-mk line 216 Android AAPT Problem error: Resource entry hint_total_reports is already defined. strings.xml /Core/res/values-de line 228 Android AAPT Problem error: Resource entry no_reports is already defined. strings.xml /Core/res/values-ko line 225 Android AAPT Problem error: Resource entry no_reports is already defined. strings.xml /Core/res/values-de line 229 Android AAPT Problem error: Resource entry hint_phonenumber is already defined. strings.xml /Core/res/values-mk line 227 Android AAPT Problem error: Resource entry hint_phonenumber is already defined. strings.xml /Core/res/values line 248 Android AAPT Problem

And many other strings errors.

Finally I get: Description Resource Path Location Type The type android.support.v4.view.MenuItem cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files MapFragment.java /Core/src/com/ushahidi/android/app/ui/tablet line 1 Java Problem The project was not built since its build path is incomplete. Cannot find the class file for android.support.v4.view.MenuItem. Fix the build path then try building this project Core Unknown Java Problem

I tried various things, adding different JAR files to the build path, targeting different android versions, I am unable to find a solution.

Would anyone be able to clarify the issue?

thank you very much.

@stefanonyn This is not a bug. I would rather open an issue for improvement to documentation. Let's take this to the forums. I'm going to go ahead and close this.
