Actually you should define your styles in res/values/styles.xml. I guess now you've got the following configuration:

<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light"/>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme"/>

so if you want to use Theme.Black then change AppBaseTheme parent to android:Theme.Black or you could change app style directly in manifest file like this - android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black". You must be lacking android namespace before style tag.

If you are trying to reference an android style  you need to put  android   in there  android theme   android style Theme Black    If that doesn t solve it  you may need to edit your question with the full manifest file  so we can see more details

To change your application to a different built-in theme  just add this line under application tag in your app s manifest xml file   Example    lt application      android theme   android style Theme Holo   gt    lt application      android theme   android style Theme Holo Light   gt    lt application      android theme   android style Theme Black   gt    lt application      android theme   android style Theme DeviceDefault   gt    If you set style to DeviceDefault it will require min SDK version 14  but if you won t add a style  it will set to the device default anyway    lt uses-sdk     android minSdkVersion  14   gt
