I have made the changes as per this blog.
It is working fine for me.
But i encountered into a serious problem.
The buttons, imageviews in the layout becomes blured or larger now on higher devices.
Theme with no title bar is ok, but while applying the holo theme this issue comes.
What might be the reason for this.

I thought that if it was set to 4.0+ it wouldn’t run on 2.3.3, but I was wrong. As long as my minSdkVersion was set to 7 or so, it would run on 2.1+. Thanks anyway.

<resources xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” >
<style name=”MainStyle” parent=”@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light”>

</style>
</resources>

Also you should clean the project if you have changed the target or min SDK version. Really sorry about the error :(

<resources>
<style name=”MainStyle” parent=”@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light”>

</style>
</resources>

I’m trying to implement this into my own app, but it won’t work. I have the minSdkVerision set to 10 (target 15), but even when I declare my theme in values-v11/themes.xml it still gives me “error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name ‘@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light’.”

values-v11/themes.xml looks like this:

My app has minSdkTarget as 7
