Answer 1

Don't

values/strings.xml

Wrong path .Put this on your style section .

A style is defined in an XML resource that is separate from the XML that specifies the layout. This XML file resides under res/values/ directory of your project and will have as the root node which is mandatory for the style file.

Answer 2

THIS is values/string.xml

<string name="activity_name">Home</string>
<string name="navigation_drawer_open">Open navigation drawer</string>
<string name="navigation_drawer_close">Close navigation drawer</string>

THIS is values/style.xml

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="toolbarStyle">@style/Custom.Widget.Toolbar</item>
</style>

Both are different things
