I created a new Android project and set it to target Gingerbread (API 10). I then added the “Android Support Library v7 AppCompat” Xamarin component so that I could use the ActionBar from the support library. As soon as I did this, I got 62 build errors, all resembling this small sample:
Error 1 Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Holo.ActionBar'. c:\temp\AndroidApplication3\Components\xamandroidsupportv7appcompat-7.18.0\lib\android\18\content\support\v7\appcompat\res\values-v14\styles_base.xml 25 AndroidApplication3 Error 2 Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar'. c:\temp\AndroidApplication3\Components\xamandroidsupportv7appcompat-7.18.0\lib\android\18\content\support\v7\appcompat\res\values-v14\styles_base.xml 29 AndroidApplication3
I don't know what's wrong here or how to best fix it. Please advise.
