Android_style:error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Widget'

Sorry i have seen lots of this topic questions like this in Stackoverflow, but none of them has helped me yet.

Here is my manifest.xml

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="14"
    android:targetSdkVersion="18" />

and here is the style xml code

<style name="Widget.PreferenceFrameLayout">
        <item name="android:borderTop">0dip</item>
        <item name="android:borderBottom">0dip</item>
        <item name="android:borderLeft">0dip</item>
        <item name="android:borderRight">0dip</item>
    </style>

The errors are:

error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Widget'.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think the style is public. So its not possible to customize

Try

<style name="@android:style/Widget.PreferenceFrameLayout">
    <item name="android:borderTop">0dip</item>
    <item name="android:borderBottom">0dip</item>
    <item name="android:borderLeft">0dip</item>
    <item name="android:borderRight">0dip</item>
</style>

You need to reference the styles in the android framework

And do check this

May be you don't have parent style name Widget. If you don't have then add a simple style named Widget as in the style resource

<style name="Widget"></style>

then your styles.xml would be look like as

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

    <style name="Widget"></style>

    <style name="Widget.PreferenceFrameLayout">
        <item name="android:borderTop">0dip</item>
        <item name="android:borderBottom">0dip</item>
        <item name="android:borderLeft">0dip</item>
        <item name="android:borderRight">0dip</item>
    </style>

</resources>
