I tried to install Eclipse but I have this problem that I never see before. The problem is:

error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 
'Theme.AppCompat.Light'.

I didn't do anything on the project. Basically I just create the project as android to work on it and I find this error. The error is in the res/values, res/values-v11, res/value-v14. The text is the same that you can find on normal Eclipse:

<resources>

<!--
    Base application theme, dependent on API level. This theme is replaced
    by AppBaseTheme from res/values-vXX/styles.xml on newer devices.
-->
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <!--
        Theme customizations available in newer API levels can go in
        res/values-vXX/styles.xml, while customizations related to
        backward-compatibility can go here.
    -->
</style>

The same block code is in the other two classes. All the < > are closed (because, as I said, I didn't change anything in the code). I read something in the site but nothing corresponds to my version of the application.

What do you thing about it? What should I have to do?

Install Android Support Library, go to Window -> Android Sdk Manager. Check Android Support Library and click install.

update: your problem is similar to this:

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

  • Ok I did it. Now there is a problem with R. I import it but there is an error with setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); The error is: Multiple markers at this line - R cannot be resolved to a variable - activity_main cannot be resolved or is not a field Even if R is imported – user3738576 Aug 14 '14 at 18:54
  • Damn..... I lose R. Is there a possibility to have it back? It looks like Eclipse deletes it – user3738576 Aug 14 '14 at 18:56
  • No errors, more than this I have an error in the Manifest where Eclipse hates the line of "android-theme" android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@styles/app_name" > – user3738576 Aug 14 '14 at 19:12
