Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-sdk     android:minSdkVersion=...     android:targetSdkVersion="11" /> 

and

Project Properties -> Project Build Target = 11 or above

These 2 things fixed the problem for me!
