crystall ball doesn't run due to errors in code

hey, just downloaded/importet the project files of this site: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-android-app/pretty-little-things/customizing-buttons-and-labels

when opening the files i get 3 errors dealing with the styles.xml files of the folders "values", "values-v11", "values-v14" saying "error:Error retreiving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name "Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar" for the styles.xml in "values-14" and "Theme.AppCompat.Light" for the styles.xml files of "values" and "values-11". Does anybody know how to fix this?

Thx for your answer Shaun. What is described in the teachers notes has already been adjusted in the project files of that video, those are the files that don't work, at least on my environment :).

Hi Manuel, if you are having trouble with the code in the instructions, can you either paste your code in here for us to look at, or zip up your project and send it along to help@teamtreehouse.com?

The issue is due to an update in the tools that has changed how this theme works. I am recording a new version of this course that will be available next month, but the solution in the mean time is to use the Teacher's Notes.
