Question

I' ve checked previous questions about Appcompat resource not found questions but non of them solves my problem. I've added appcompat 20.0 to my project as a library and checked whether it is in external libraries folder or not. I 've also checked dependencies in build.gradle and it is also there .But whenever I try to create new style in styles file IDE cannot find @style/Theme.AppCompat.Light. Any Suggestions ?

what I am trying to do (gives errors)

<style name="Theme.myactionbar" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    ...
    items
    ...      
</style>

On the other hand ,I can easily enable theme from manifest under application tag without problem

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait"
    android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light"
Was it helpful?

Solution

I have same issue but for me its only IDE issue. When I run the app it work with right theme
