Any idea what this error might be and how I can solve it?

AndroidManifest.xml:15: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'theme' with value '@style/Theme.AppCompat').

Hi

I am new to B4A, and i thought of running the above project. I just went through some of the tutorials but didnt find ways on how to add the external libraries, as I am still getting the error as attached. Could you please help me to fix this?

See the instructions in the first post:
- Download the library zip and extract the three files to your additional libs folder. Droppy.xml/jar/aar
- Download Resource.zip for the Resources in the Example-Project. Here are the Images for the Dropmenu

The additional libs folder should be configured under Tools - Configure Paths.

Thanks Erel for your quick reply.

Unfortunately I am still unable to fix the issue. I had already done as you mentioned previously. Is there anything which i have missed out. I have also tried cleaning project but no luck.

Hard to tell with the informations you provided.

Can you provide an AnyDescID so i could connect to your pc and help you setting up B4A correctly. I fear something is missing or not configured correctly.


That will be great if you find some time and fix this issue for me. I have followed the same steps as mentioned in B4A installation guide. How would you want me to share my screen and the time you will be available.

I would also like to add a point that I am able to run simple Android projects. But when a project needs to use additional libraries these error occurs.

For the protocol.

I reinstalled everything new on his PC (starting with B4A 9.9, the SDK, AdditionalLibs folder, and configured properly. It is now working.


Thank you. That was quick and error free. I missed adding the libraries properly.

Have a question when I run this DroppyEx project on my phone. I get a message telling "Do you want to install an update to this existing application? " And when I click on Install. I get error App not installed. Is it an issue with phone?
