TextAppearance Holo Widget ActionBar Title appears to have been added in API Level 13  Make sure your build target is set to 13  not just 11

AndroidManifest xml    lt uses-sdk     android minSdkVersion         android targetSdkVersion  11    gt    and  Project Properties -  Project Build Target   11 or above  These 2 things fixed the problem for me
