Cant run simple android program using Eclipse

Question

I am studying Android now and I am really a newbie in this. I am using Eclipse with Android. I already installed all the files under Android 5.0.1 (API 21) and also all the Tools. Then I try to create my simple "hello world example" but I got a lot of errors.

Here are my errors:

Can you help me with this?

It seems you have some problems with styles, anyway i suggest to use Android Studio if you start from the beginning.

Well it downloads some components you can configure your current SDK in the Preferences. – FrancescoAzzola Jan 19 '16 at 08:27

Make sure you've added AppCompat on below picture:

That problem comes from AppCompat as you can see, seems like that library has a problem and you should follow this tutorial:

Following are the steps:

Paste the android-support-v7-appcompat.jar that you have downloaded in libs folder of your project.

Right click on your project, select Build Path -> Configure build path. Select Library Tab then Add Jar option and browse your recently added v7 jar and click OK.

That should fix the problem.

And i suggest you to use AndroidStudio.

Also, download the `23-Api` according to this image: http://i.stack.imgur.com/Yi5rW.png – ʍѳђઽ૯ท Jan 19 '16 at 08:28
