  &lt;style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light"&gt; ---&gt;Error line

  <p>Then my <strong>manifest</strong>:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;uses-sdk
      android:minSdkVersion="16"
      android:targetSdkVersion="21" /&gt;
  
       .......
  &lt;application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppBaseTheme" &gt;
     ......
   &lt;/application&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Order and Export:</strong></p>

  <p>I am sure I had updated my sdk to the latest version 21 in Build tools,platform tools,Extras,etc.. I didn't know why this error still occurred.I tried restarting my eclipse and cleaning the project.Still it occurs.</p>
