Answer 1

Use AppCompat library from com.android.support.

Google has released com.android.support to support things like this on older devices

Add the dependecy in build.gradle (it's NOT in the root directory) inside dependencies{...}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
}

And change your theme to Theme.AppCompat or Theme.AppCompat.* (The wildcard represents more styles inside Theme.AppCompat
