Answer 1

I tried to change target sdk to 13 but does not works!! then when I changed compileSdkVersion 13 to compileSdkVersion 14 is compiled successfully :)

NOTE: I Work with Android Studio not Eclipse

Answer 2

Make sure you've set your target API (different from the target SDK) in the Project Properties (not the manifest) to be at least 4.0/API 14.

Answer 3

AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion=...
    android:targetSdkVersion="11" />

and

Project Properties -> Project Build Target = 11 or above

These 2 things fixed the problem for me!

Answer 4

<style name="Theme.IOSched" parent="android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/window_background</item>
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBar</item>
</style>

you can not give your own color and backgroud in item windowBackground. give your color in your /color.xml file.

Answer 5

This happens because in r6 it shows an error when you try to extend private styles.

Answer 6

TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.ActionBar.Title appears to have been added in API Level 13. Make sure your build target is set to 13, not just 11.
