In addition to Emmanuel's answer you could be facing the following problem.

It seems like the design library components need a style which is based on an AppCompat Theme. So try to use "Theme.AppCompat.[...]" as a parent in your style.xml.

Example:

<!-- Base application theme. --> <style name="AppTheme" parent="Base.AppTheme">     <!-- Customize your theme here. --> </style>  <style name="Base.AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">     <item name="android:colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>     <item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>     <item name="android:colorAccent">@color/accent</item> </style> 

Then add the following to your build.gradle as well:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0' 

Additionally you should update the following lines in your gradle as well:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.3' compileSdkVersion 22 buildToolsVersion '22.0.1' targetSdkVersion 22

Update Support Library on SDK Manager in Extras > Android Support Repository and Android Support Library, that works for me ;)

and dont forget to add the compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0' on app.gradle and sync
