Regarding the error in this thread, here is a quote from the tutorial text with italics on the mismatch: (let me suggest: The Android team should consider to put someone newbie to try out all tutorials as a qualification that they are valid).Īnother error I (and countless other people) have found is that the appcombat backward compliance module really is not working if you strictly follow the tutorials. Hopefully, however, they read Stackoverflow. If there is a way I can send this info to the Android team, then please tell me and I will do it. Somebody should correct these errors this weekend because they are really costly and annoying timethieves. This is only one of many examples on errors found in these tutorials (which are great in other regards). The error is that this tutorial explicitly states that the tutorial is valid for api level 11 (Android 3.0), while in reality this is only true for the theme Theme.Holo (without further extensions and variants)īut this tutorial uses the the theme which is only a valid theme from api level 14 (Android 4.0) and above. It is major because it is almost impossible to detect cause of error for a newbie. There is a major error in the tutorials destined for newbies here: When I use android (without the it works like a charm. 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. This denotes that it is an inbuilt style for Android. You missed the android keyword before style.
