title: Different Theme for different Android SDK versions
body: <p>Is there a way to use a different theme depending on which SDK version the application is installed on?</p>
  
  <p>The reason I ask is because I want to support all the way back to SDK version 8, but for those users that have ICS I want to be able to follow the design standards for ICS and use the Holo theme.</p>
  
  <p>I can see from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8908508/program-different-layouts-for-different-versions-in-android">Program different layouts for different versions in android</a> that I can have a folder values-v14 which will have a theme.xml to override the theme declaration. However, it won't compile if I reference Theme.Holo. I believe this is because I have the following in my AndroidManifest.xml</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" /&gt;
  &lt;uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="11"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any pointers would be much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE:-
  OK so here are my files:-
  AndroidManifest.xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;application
      android:icon="@drawable/icon"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:name=".Refunder"
      android:theme="@style/MainTheme"
      &gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>res/values/themes.xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;resources&gt;
      &lt;style name="MainTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar"&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:typeface"&gt;normal&lt;/item&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:textSize"&gt;15sp&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;/style&gt;
  &lt;/resources&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>res/values-v11/themes.xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;resources&gt;
      &lt;style name="MainTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo"&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:typeface"&gt;normal&lt;/item&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:textSize"&gt;15sp&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;/style&gt;
  &lt;/resources&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is in accordance with the article I read here:- <a href="http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2012/01/holo-everywhere.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2012/01/holo-everywhere.html</a></p>
  
  <p>When I do this I get a compile error in Eclipse saying that:-</p>
  
  <pre><code>error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@android:style/Theme.Holo'
  </code></pre>
