Editing styles.xml breaks Ribbit.

I get a "Unfortunatelly Ribbit has stopped" dialog message on the emulator (Genymotion) and LogCat says:

06-06 01:48:51.566: E/AndroidRuntime(1225): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 06-06 01:48:51.566: E/AndroidRuntime(1225): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.ribbit/com.example.ribbit.MainActivity}: java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.

Does anyone know how to fix this? For now I will just checkout the res/values/styles.xml in my Git repo to keep on following the track.

PS: My Android SDK Tools Rev. is 22.6.3 and SDK Platform API is 19.
