theme setting crashes my app

When I set theme in Mnifest.xml, whatever it is, it crashes my app.

I use my old android device(nexus s), which is incredibly slow, to test app, but theme change worked before even on this device.

app theme(default?) totally works.

Only suspicious difference, I think, is that I updated SDK to newest version.

It solved!Thank you so much! I've been familiar with extends Activity, but I didn't notice it had become some different one.

Hi Could you elaborate on the error a little more. Please include relevant messages you see on the log cat. and the error the app gives on the emulator or device. As with the info you have given i could suggest reseting the adb in the DDMS view.
