By default android will set Holo to the Dark theme. There is no theme called Holo.Dark, there's only Holo.Light, that's why you are getting the resource not found error.

So just set it to:

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

In your application android manifest file  under the application tag you can try several of these themes   Replace   lt application     android theme   style AppTheme   gt    with different themes defined by the android system  They can be like -  android theme   android style Theme Black  android theme   android style Theme DeviceDefault  android theme   android style Theme DeviceDefault Dialog  android theme   android style Theme Holo  android theme   android style Theme Translucent    Each of these themes will have a different effect on your application like the DeviceDefault Dialog will make your application look like a dialog box  You should try more of these  You can have a look from the android sdk or simply use auto complete in Eclipse IDE to explore the various available options   A correct way to define your own theme would be to edit the styles xml file present in the resources folder of your application
