Can't find symbol @android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar

I have defined a theme in values/themes.xml:

<resources>
    <style name="MyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar">
    </style>
</resources>

and in my AndroidManifest.xml I have:

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

The code is compiled and I see the proper result, but IDE tells me it cannot resolve symbol @android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar. Please advice why.

I have the same problem, try to change the android compiling libraries to the 3.2 Android version. It will let you use this themes and should be compatible with previous versions. Be careful with the API you use. Despite of this you can set your minSdkVersion to 8.

Your minSdkVersion is too low for the Holo theme. The Holo theme is only available on SDK 11 (Honeycomb) and later. You may want to look at ActionBarSherlock. Since it looks like you're not using the action bar, you could also put separate themes.xml files in values and values-v11.
