Answer 1

Do this:

"android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar" 

You missed the android keyword before style. This denotes that it is an inbuilt style for Android.

Answer 2

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.
