729 PointsCrystal Ball Theme Error, Shake things up
Hey all,
I'm at the step of testing the accelerometer on the phone but it won't run due to 3 theme errors.
Description Resource Path Location Type error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar'. styles.xml /CrystalBall/res/values-v14 line 8 Android AAPT Problem
Description Resource Path Location Type error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Theme.AppCompat.Light'. styles.xml /CrystalBall/res/values line 7 Android AAPT Problem
Description Resource Path Location Type error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Theme.AppCompat.Light'. styles.xml /CrystalBall/res/values-v11 line 7 Android AAPT Problem
I'm not sure how these came up and I don't know how to fix them. Thanks for any help.

TL;DR, Go to the "Adding libraries with resources" section here: https://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html

1,432 PointsI have the same issue. I have even re-downloaded the project files (from here: http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/Android/android-island1-stage4-video2.zip) and reimported them as per the instructions. Having not yet signed up for full access, it will be interesting to see how quickly issues are handled.
