I suppose, you're using Eclipse for making done tutorials. Better way is to from scratch doing everything in Android Studio. You won't then get tis errors ;-) – piotrek1543 Dec 25 '15 at 12:27

I tried to download Android studio, but I have an old computer and when download completes Google chrome reports "System is busy". – CzechJura Dec 25 '15 at 12:33

It means that some Material Design stuff is incompatible with your minSDK or targetSDK version.
In Eclipse, set your own project to target API 21 (or greater):
- open Project Properties and in the Android panel, s
- specify Project Build Target as API21 (or greater).
When Project Build Target of your own project is below 21, errors in the question appear. Clean and re-build your own project when modified its Project Build Target.
Also check this answer from Hello World Android App, Error: workspace\appcompat_v7\res\values-v21\styles_base.xml No resource found that matches the given name
I found the source of the problem, when we create a new project, it contains the reference of the
appcompat_v7library:
the
appcompat_v7library already contains the support library "android-support-v4.jar"
the problem is that the new project created contains into the
/libsfolder, the library "android-support-v4.jar" too!, just delete this .jar from your new project ( that is already contained into theappcompat_v7library)don´t forget to
clean and build your projectThis problem happens using API 19 use API 21 or later
Hope it help
