Android Studio 1.3：Theme.Material.Light和Theme.Material提供错误

Question

I am trying to make an Android Application with Material Design. My initial problem was that the v22 styles.xml wasn't present in the values folder. However, I fixed that issue with the following link from Stackoverflow:

values-21, values-22 or values-xx folder is gone after Android Studio 1.0

Then, when I changed my new v22 styles.xml theme to Theme.Material.Light, it showed an error and appeared red. In the above link, bijang tells Pankaj to download and put a certain themes_material.xml file into the values folder. The existing Theme.Material.Light error goes away, but in that file (whose source code can be found here: https://gist.github.com/jbj88817/b0a3f750e3fe705a8a1a ) It shows an error as follows:

Theme.Material, where THEME is the error. Please help!

Here is my v22 styles.xml:

<resources>
     <style name="AppTheme" parent = "Theme.Material.Light">
     </style>
</resources>

Answer 1

Since after the SDK for api 22 was introduced. You don't need a separate styles.xml for v22 or v21. So in values res folder have only one styles.xml(default one) and to support material design use Theme.AppCompat.

Example

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">

</style>

And in addition use AppCompatActivity instead of ActionBarActivity for your activity.

Example

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
