I am trying to override some values in the theme for my Android application. The AndroidManifest.xml file has the following declaration for the application:

```
<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="App"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@android:style/AppTheme" >

```

And in my style I have the following theme declared:

```
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
        <item name="android:typeface">serif</item>
    </style>

```

However when I build the project android studio says "Error:(28, 24) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'theme' with value '@android:style/AppTheme')."

How can I reference the theme from the manifest file? It works for the built in themes (such as Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen, for example)
