After importing project, not able to run it

Question

I am trying to learn android development from Udacity but having some problems importing project. In the task there is a half ready project is given as a resource to start with which is about creating language translating app code. But when I am trying to compile the project it comes up with following errors:

Error:(18, -1) android-apt-compiler: [main] C:\Users\Rushi\Downloads\ud839_Miwok-Starter-code\ud839_Miwok-Starter-code\app\src\main\res\values\styles.xml:18: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar'.

Error:(19, -1) android-apt-compiler: [main] C:\Users\Rushi\Downloads\ud839_Miwok-Starter-code\ud839_Miwok-Starter-code\app\src\main\res\values\styles.xml:19: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'colorPrimary'.

Error:(20, -1) android-apt-compiler: [main] C:\Users\Rushi\Downloads\ud839_Miwok-Starter-code\ud839_Miwok-Starter-code\app\src\main\res\values\styles.xml:20: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'colorPrimaryDark'.

I thought that It lacks any kind of packages or something so tried to update the Android Studio to the latest version but it didn't work.

I have checked that the attribute colorPrimaryDark and colorPrimary references to the correct resource which they do.

Does doing a clean help? (goto Build -> Clean project) – jak10h Dec 28 '16 at 14:35 — jak10h, Dec 28 '16 at 14:35

Add to your app's build.gradle:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0'

and also try this: Build->Rebuild Project, File->Invalidate Caches/Restart.

If the problem doesn't go away, please, post your build.gradle and colors.xml files.

You'll need to either increase the compileSdkVersion or buildToolsVersion in your app/build.gradle file.

Or you have to use higher version numbers for external dependencies libraries like the AppCompat or support-v7. For example, changing compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.0' to compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.0'.

Note that Theme.AppCompat comes from the support library.
