No resource found that matches the given name '@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar'

Question

AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="14"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

I am using Android Studio (non gradle project), so no previous answers have been helpful to me.

In my styles.xml I am getting the error from the title on

<style name="AppTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

Solution

I had several 3rd party libraries contained in my project. When I selected each of them and imported them as a module, the style error went away.

File > Project Structure > Modules > click + > import module > add each project folder as module
