How do I reference HoloEverywhere in styles.xml?

How do I reference the HoloEverywhere themes from my project? Here's my styles_course.xml file that needs a parent theme, preferably holo light with dark action bar. Notice that the parent attribute is blank.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Create your own theme for application or activity just like this:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Holo.Theme">
<!-- Or use <style name="AppTheme" parent="@style/Holo.Theme"></style> -->
</style>
  1. This works, of course if you refer to holoeverywhere library project from your project.
  2. Your Activity should extends org.holoeverywhere.app.Activity
  3. And of course, you should apply this theme either to activity or application in Manifest.

There are also such themes like Holo.Theme.Light and Holo.Theme.Light.DarkActionBar

And here is the list of all styles.

Edit:

For holoeverywhere 1.4 its

    <style name="MyTheme" parent="@android:styl e/Theme.Holo">
        <!-- Any customizations for your app ru nning on devices with Theme.Holo here -->
     </style>
