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

I tried to change target sdk to 13 but does not works   then when I changed compileSdkVersion 13 to compileSdkVersion 14 is compiled successfully        NOTE  I Work with Android Studio not Eclipse

Make sure you ve set your target API  different from the target SDK  in the Project Properties  not the manifest  to be at least 4 0 API 14

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
