Cannot change app theme to Holo Dark

I'm currently using Holo light with dark action bar and I want to change my app to completely use Holo. I changed styles.xml from

"<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">" to 

"<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo ">"

and I changed styles.xml within values-14 from

"<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">" to 

"<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.">"

yet nothing changes. I set my minSDK to 14 and my target to 19. Anyone know what's wrong?

See AndroidManifest.xml probably there is some lines like this:

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >  <!-- this line -->

this lines set a dynamic theme for your application that depend on SDK-level. you can set values for each SDK by adding values-vxx/styles.xml like values-v10/styles.xml for SDK-10.

but your minimum SDK is 14 that support Holo and Holo.Light themes so you can change theme directly in manifest.

So write in AdnroidManifest.xml like this:

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo" >

write "@android:style/Theme.Holo" because you're using android resources.

I would check the AndroidManifest.xml file. There should be a node called: android:theme. Change it to android:theme="Theme.Holo.Light" >
