It was in older versions of Android Sudio. In Android Studio 1.0 you have to create by yourself. Check your SDK version update it to Android 5.0 (Api 21). And you will be good to go.

Maintain material design Compatibility to older version of Android by following this link. https://developer.android.com/training/material/compatibility.html

Cheers..

Solution 2

Create the values-v21 folder and create styles.xml Inside styles.xml choose Material Theme.

Open your main.xml. select Graphical Layout. Look for Theme drop down menu. From there you can select Material Theme. If your sdk is updated. Theme.Material will be listed in that Theme drop down.
