No resource found that matches the given name '@android:style/Theme.Material.Light.DialogWhenLarge.NoActionBar'

Question

I get this error when trying to use latest Google Play Services SDK:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res\values-v21\appinvite_styles.xml:5: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@android:style/Theme.Material.Light.DialogWhenLarge.NoActionBar'.

I am targetting android-19 but have also tried android-21 with same result. I have the Android Support Library

If I use older version of Google Play Services (rev. 21), the error is not there. Also there is no folder values-v21 in the earlier version. How to fix this error?

EDIT: I have tried using API 21 but this error persists. in manifest.xml:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="21"        
      android:targetSdkVersion="21" />

in project.properties:

target=android-21

Answer 1

Follow these steps

• Right click, Properties of google-play-services_lib project
• goto java compiler and set it to 1.5
• goto android and set project build target to android 6.0
• make sure you installed latest update for android sdk tools and google play services in your sdk

Close the project and Open it, this helps too.

Answer 2

I fixed it by changing the minSdkVersion in google-play-services_lib manifest to the minimum SDK version used by my app. Example: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14"/>
