Adding Theme.Holo in android manifest returns resource not found error

I've been trying to add the Holo Dark theme to my android application. For this I have added the following to the application tag of the android manifest xml file.

android:theme="@style/Theme.Holo"

This produces an error which says Resource not found that matches the given name. Any ideas on how to get past this ?

PS: I am just beginning android development.

Edit 1

The only step I've taken to add the Holo theme for android application is the addition of the above mentioned line of code. DO I have to import any files to the styles folder in the project ?

You have to use a system resource. @style uses only resource that are defined by you. @android:style uses system resources:

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo"
