“appcompat_v7” project is contains error

Question

After creating a new android project, Eclipse automatically creates a "appcompat_v7" project without any files under /src. But it shows error in styles.xml on the following line, which is line 18 in the styles.xml.

style name="Widget.MediaRouter.MediaRouteButton" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionButton"

I have no idea how or why Eclipse is creating this project.

I am new to Android developing. please help me to solve this error.

`also getting a weird error` which you don't tell us. Well played... Please read the [FAQ] about how to create good questions. Especially this part: http://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask — WarrenFaith, Dec 10 '14 at 12:21
Eclipse is creating this project because your new project is using ActionBar which which relies on this project. — Darpan, Dec 10 '14 at 12:33
