java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity

I'm getting this error when trying to run my android application.

The strange thing: It only happens when the android application was built (and signed) with Jenkins.

When I use the local apk file from eclipse and push it to my device (or emulator), everything works fine

Any ideas?

Edit: AndroidManifest.xml

<application
    android:name="at.my.test.App"
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/MyActionBarTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name="SplashActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name="LoginActivity"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" >
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name="MyFirstActivity"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name="MySecondActivity"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name="MyThirdActivity"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name="WebActivity"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name="ErrorActivity"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" >
    </activity>
</application>

And the themes.xml file:

<style name="MyActionBarTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat">

    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>
    <item name="android:homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/ic_up_arrow</item>
    <item name="android:windowActionBar">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>

    <!-- Support library compatibility -->
    <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>
    <item name="homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/ic_up_arrow</item>

</style>

<!-- ActionBar styles -->
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">

    <item name="android:background">@color/my_highlight</item>

    <!-- Support library compatibility -->
    <item name="background">@color/my_highlight</item>

</style>

This is happen only for missing styles from values-21,values-18 missing in resource folder in android project or you are not used to declared the correct theme in Manifest in appropriate project.

May this will help you to solve your problem. (I haven't familiar with Jenkins.) Please put this attribute to Activity (in which you used the Actionbar/Drawer) in Manifest

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

styles.xml

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
