App wont work

I have been building my app for quite some time and I recently wanted to change the entire app into a full screen app and I read a few things online and I tried them and I tried testing the app and it wont work anymore. I remember changing all of the settings for the apptheme and I still cant get the app to load. I also accidentally deleted the styles.xml and I cant get it back. I have thought about rebuilding the app and starting over but if there is a simple fix to get my app fullscreen and how to get the styles.xml back please let me know.

I don't know how to fix your problems in this instance but, in future, I recommend you use local or remote (or both!) git repositories to manage your applications. This will enable you to rollback to a point where your code worked and to a point where you hadn't deleted files.

There is a Treehouse course for it here which covers the main functionality that would prevent you finding yourself where you do now.
