title: Android - Missing Parent Theme?
body: <p>I'm attempting to style the ActionBar, following this blog post:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/04/customizing-action-bar.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/04/customizing-action-bar.html</a></p>
  
  <p>With this source code:</p>
  
  <p><code>svn checkout http://styled-action-bar.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ styled-action-bar-read-only</code></p>
  
  <p>However, I'm getting issues in <code>/res/values/styles.xml</code>. </p>
  
  <p>This:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!-- style for the tabs --&gt;
  &lt;style name="MyActionBarTabStyle" parent="android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBarView_TabView"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:background"&gt;@drawable/actionbar_tab_bg&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:paddingLeft"&gt;32dp&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:paddingRight"&gt;32dp&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is erroring with:</p>
  
  <p><code>Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBarView_TabView'.</code></p>
  
  <p>However, using the following answer, and digging through the source for Android, I can see that the theme does indeed exist:</p>

  <p>The only thing that I changed in the project was moving it from <code>android-11</code> to <code>android-14</code>, and then running an "Android" > "Fix Project Properties" in Eclipse. I do note that the repo linked to in that answer, that lists the style, is on branch master, so I can't see why the theme would be unfound.</p>
  
  <p>Just for tests, I put that chunk of code in my working <code>android-14</code> targeting app, minus the background drawable, and it throws the same error.</p>
