Cannot resolve android.Theme.Material.Light.NoActionBar?

Hello,

For some reason, my app is not resolving android.Theme.Material.Light.NoActionBar. I don't know what this means, but I do know that my app is not working.

Could someone please help me with this?

Did you make any changes to res/values/styles.xml ?

From what I can see, no. I didn't make any changes to the styles.xml file.

Ok. Does your styles.xml look like this

<!-- Base application theme. --> <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar"> <!-- Customize your theme here. --> </style>

Ok. I see you are referencing Material in the parent attribute value. What is your minimum API level?

My minimum API level is the Android 5.0 level, which is 21, I believe.
