You have to create a value folder with values-v21 caption. and create style.xml file in this with the same name as values folder like styles.xml. Now rebuild your project.

Answer 4

Right click on res folder, choose New --> Android resource file, set the same name for the new file "styles", in Available qualifiers: choose the last item "Version" and finally set "Platform API level" 21.

Answer 5

By default, Android Studio doesn't create styles.xml (v21). What you need to do is create a folder structure like the following:

• res/values/styles.xml
• res/values-v21/styles.xml

And this is what you will get in Android Studio:

Then you can defined different AppTheme for different API levels.
