    <p>I am trying to implement the new <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html" rel="noreferrer">ActionBar</a> support library that was released by Google a couple days ago. In the past, I have successfully implemented ActionBarSherlock without any issues using the same method listed on Google Developer's <a href="http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html" rel="noreferrer">Support Library Setup</a> page - using the guide on how to include the resources (which is similar to how ActionBarSherlock did it). I have the library project loaded in to my own project as a library as well.</p> <p>I can tell the library is loading fine. When, instead of extending Activity on my MainActivity.java, I changed it to extend ActionBarActivity (as per Google's instructions), no errors occur - and it imports correctly.</p> <p>I even tried bypassing the style.xml file and adding <code>@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light</code> directly in to the AndroidManifest.xml for both <code>&lt;application&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;activity&gt;</code> with <code>android:theme="@style/ThemeAppCompat.Light"</code> with all attempts resulting in the same error.</p> <p>Now the issue is I cannot get it to change the theme, let alone even build without throwing an error. Below is the error I am receiving, followed by the style.xml file I changed to use the new theme.</p> <p>I have moderate experience working with Android apps and am running Eclipse with the latest version of the Support Libraries and SDK compiling with API 18 (Android 4.3).</p> <p><strong>Error Received During Build</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light'. styles.xml /ActBarTest/res/values line 3 Android AAPT Problem</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>style.xml</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;resources&gt; &lt;style name="Theme.ProsoftStudio.ACTest" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light"&gt; &lt;/style&gt; &lt;/resources&gt; </code></pre> <p>Any suggestions? This was never an issue with ActionBarSherlock. I want to work on using this new support library. It almost seems like the .jar is loading, but not the resources.</p>

    1. COTry to clean the project, maybe you need to reload the dependencies so that the styles from AppCompact can reload as well

    3. COHave you added support library with Resources? Add jar to libs is not enough.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
