Failed to get parent for element: no resource was found that matches the specified name "Theme.AppCompat.Light". MY R.java is missing
Now Google has Android Lollipop, I opened the sdk manager and decided to update a couple of packages ... It makes me faster with 2 days. Can't find topic
I also tried this: Failed to rename directory
Unsuccessful. I tried downloading a new sdk from google and installing from scratch, didn't work again. Here's a mistake.
D:\~\res\values\styles.xml:7: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Theme.AppCompat.Light'.
D:\~\res\values-v11\styles.xml:7: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Theme.AppCompat.Light'.
D:\~\res\values-v14\styles.xml:8: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar'.

I will be very grateful if someone can help me try to get my eclipse Juno running. I can also say that some of my old apps work with a lower version, but when I create a new one ... the error is:
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
It does not read android.suppor.v7 file
then if i link to my android app i have! sign and a lot of errors like:
D:\Android Studio\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\res\values-v21\themes_base.xml:193: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:colorControlNormal'.

For me with the latest (21.0.2) version of Android Support Library, the solution was to change the build target for the appcompat_v7 project to API 21 (Android 5.0), clean up and rebuild.
I solved the problem of changing in gradle
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.0'
to
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.0.0'
and compile / target sdk to 19
Have you tried updating the target SDK to 21 and building the project?
You have the same problem ... Perhaps one solution is to download the old sdk and not update it.
