You should use Theme.AppCompat (or child) theme with this action after adding google-play services

In the application that I am currently developing (this is my first Android application), I use android-maven-plugin and maven-android-sdk-deployer. The application worked perfectly (MainActivity, which uses ActionBarActivity was shown correctly) until I added the google-play-servies library. After that, I get the following exception (no changes to the application, except for adding the necessary dependencies to pom.xml):

E/AndroidRuntime( 2146): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.myapp/com.myapp.acts.MainActivity}: java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.

and AndroidManifest.xml:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.myapp" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" android:targetSdkVersion="21" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <!-- maps --> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" /> <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true" /> <!-- /maps --> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="MY_KEY" /> <activity android:name=".acts.LoginActivity" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name=".acts.RegisterActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" > </activity> <activity android:name=".acts.MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name"> </activity> <activity android:name=".acts.profiles.SearchProfilesActivity" android:label="@string/title_activity_search_profiles" > <meta-data android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY" android:value=".acts.MainActivity" /> </activity> <service android:name="com.myapp.net.RetrofitSpiceService" android:exported="false" /> </application> </manifest>

My styles.xml (in vXX values ​​I have simillar entries):

 <resources> <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light"> </style> <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme"> </style> </resources>

Thus, basically, adding these two dependencies causes the application to crash with "you need to use Theme.AppCompat ...":

  <dependency> <groupId>com.google.android.gms</groupId> <artifactId>google-play-services</artifactId> <version>21.0.0</version> <type>apklib</type> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.google.android.gms</groupId> <artifactId>google-play-services</artifactId> <version>21.0.0</version> <type>jar</type> </dependency>

Do you have any ideas what is the cause of the above problem? Any help would be appreciated.

The problem is resolved. I changed the section in pom.xml as shown below.

 <build> <finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName> <pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId> <artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId> <version>${lifecycle-mapping-plugin.version}</version> <configuration> <lifecycleMappingMetadata> <pluginExecutions> <pluginExecution> <pluginExecutionFilter> <groupId> com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2 </groupId> <artifactId> android-maven-plugin </artifactId> <versionRange> [${android-maven-plugin.version},) </versionRange> <goals> <goal>consume-aar</goal> </goals> </pluginExecutionFilter> <action> <ignore /> </action> </pluginExecution> </pluginExecutions> </lifecycleMappingMetadata> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-enforcer-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2</groupId> <artifactId>android-maven-plugin</artifactId> <extensions>true</extensions> <configuration> <androidManifestFile>${project.basedir}/AndroidManifest.xml</androidManifestFile> <assetsDirectory>${project.basedir}/assets</assetsDirectory> <resourceDirectory>${project.basedir}/res</resourceDirectory> <nativeLibrariesDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/native</nativeLibrariesDirectory> <sdk> <platform>${sdk.platform.version}</platform> </sdk> <undeployBeforeDeploy>true</undeployBeforeDeploy> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <source>1.6</source> <target>1.6</target> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build>

I also changed the dependency for google-play services for aar:

 <dependency> <groupId>com.google.android.gms</groupId> <artifactId>google-play-services</artifactId> <version>6.1.71</version> <type>aar</type> </dependency>

I had the same issue and fixed it in AndroidManifest.xml by switching from

 <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

to

 <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat" >

I got this hint from an answer to the next issue .

You should use this:

 android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"

internal activity in the manifest. Good luck

try to change:

 <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">

in

 <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
