if you have problems with appcompact 7 - there is a workaround

  1. right click you project and from the menu go to properties
  2. in the new window (shown in the picture) select android.
  3. at the lib section (red rectangle) remove appcompact7
  4. press add button and select appcompact7 again

enter image description here

if you want to manually change your styles, go to your project, track down the problematic xml files, and replace 

android:Widget.Material.ActionButton  --> Materials new layout

with this:

android:style/Theme.Holo.Light  --> Holo theme (from android HoneyComb and later)

  • I'm using eclipse, the project compile correctly, but when i run with 8 version it work ok, when i use version 12 it doesn't work, it give me the first page (with small look change) but when i click for login it doesn't work (i want to pass to version 12 only to the map function) I already tryed to empty the emuletor, but nothing change – Filippo Winston Maccarelli Nov 29 '14 at 11:08
