3,263 PointsGetting "Cannot resolve symbol" error after converting android project form Eclipse to Android Studio with Gradle
I wrote an app on my phone using AIDE and didn't know what I was doing so I did it in an Eclipse format. Now I really want to us this code in Android Studio.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <style name="AppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo"> </style> </resources>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <style name="AppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Material.Light"> </style> </resources>
Error:(2) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@android:style/Theme.Holo'.
Error:(2) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@android:style/Theme.Material.Light'.

After hours of searching for a solution, I just found the answer right after asking this.

In the Android Studio IDE, select File | Project Structure.
If not selected, choose the Project app module.
Under the Properties tab, in the Compile Sdk Version field, choose the latest SDK .e.g API 21: Android 5.0 (Lollipop).
In the Build Tools Version field, choose the latest version, e.g. 21.1.1.
Click OK.
