Follow the AppCompat tutorial on how to setup AppCompat in your App

You are missing something in your code. Compare it with the tutorial

To use the AppCompat library your activities MUST extend android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity (extending the old android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity still works.)

B4X: Copy 
 #Extends: android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity

You are NOT reading the AppCompat Tutorial at all it seems.

Go over the Tutorial AGAIN. As often until you understand how to configure your app. Everything needed is described clearly in the tutorial!

You need to add A theme in your manifest, like this:
B4X: Copy 
SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/MyAppTheme")

CreateResource(values, theme.xml,
<resources>
    <style name="MyAppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">#0098FF</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#007CF5</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">#AAAA00</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    </style>
</resources>
)

As @DonManfred said You are NOT reading the AppCompat Tutorial at all

open this Link:

AppCompat - Make Material Design apps compatible with older Android versions

This library is a wrapper for the Google AppCompat v7 support library. B4A V6.0 or newer is required! From V3.52 on B4A V6.80 or newer is required! If you still use B4A < V6.80, use V3.51 of this library. The main reason for this library is to make your apps compatible with older Android...

Again i suggest to read AND UNDERSTAND the AppCompat Tutorial.

As a help

Add this to your Activity list_all
B4X: Copy 
#Extends: android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity

Note that you need it to add in ALL activities where you are using AppCompat
