Kate.

I had failed to make the necessary corrections for the posted errata in my xml manifest.
I felt a bit silly and it was a complete noob mistake but after I switched to the App resource radio button in the manifest the correct AppTheme was available and it corrected my initial oversight. He even warned us specifically about changing graphical layout elements without the corresponding manifest changes but it was a good learning experience for me. Thank-you for responding to me so quickly...

                                                                                               Michael  T.

Can you show your code for styles.xml? Also, did you try and rebuild the app? That may help.

This is what I have for styles.xml and it seems to run great:

<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    </style>

</resources>
