Theme.AppCompat theme stacktrace. No solution found in my case

Question

I try to show a dialog in my Activity and I get this error : "You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme"

There are lots of question/answers about this, but I don't get it in my situation: Can someone help me ? I know it has something to do with the app theme, but I think this is ok in my situation. Can please someone take a look:

Error:

My Activity is extending Activity

public class ChronicBrowser extends Activity {

Answer 1

Make the activity extend AppCompatActivity instead.

Most of the AppCompat stuff requires AppCompat classes, for an instance AppCompatActiviity or the fragment import from the support package i stead

Answer 2

尝试在清单的活动标签中添加android：theme =“ @ style / AppTheme”。
