Error using TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title.Inverse

Encountered this error trying to style the ActionBar title, on API 10, using the latest v7 appcompat support lib (r21, Lollipop). Works fine on API 15+ though.

my same code used to work fine until this r21 came along, causing many problems.

stack trace:

My app's res/styles.xml:

<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!--
            Theme customizations available in newer API levels can go in
            res/values-vXX/styles.xml, while customizations related to
            backward-compatibility can go here.
        -->
        <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/AppBaseTheme.ActionBar</item>
    </style>
    <style name="AppBaseTheme.ActionBar" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid">
        <item name="titleTextStyle">@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title.Inverse</item>
    </style>

v7 appcompat res/styles_base_text.xml:

53     <style name="Base.TextAppearance.AppCompat.Title">
 54         <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/abc_text_size_title_material</item>
 55         <item name="android:textColor">?android:textColorPrimary</item>
 56     </style>
 57
 58     <style name="Base.TextAppearance.AppCompat.Title.Inverse">
 59         <item name="android:textColor">?android:attr/textColorPrimaryInverse</item>
 60         <item name="android:textColorHint">?android:attr/textColorHintInverse</item>
 61         <item name="android:textColorHighlight">?android:attr/textColorHighlightInverse</item>
 62         <item name="android:textColorLink">?android:attr/textColorLinkInverse</item>
 63     </style>

However, once I removed the ".Inverse" in my styles.xml, it works fine.

It crashes at this line http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/2.3_r1/android/widget/TextView.java/#1616 while trying to get the colorHightlight.

Any idea how to fix?

It may be that in API 10 there is no Base.TextAppearance.AppCompat.Title.Inverse theme.
You should check if the theme is present in API 10. A solution may be to define a common base theme that inherits from a different parent theme included in API 10.

res/values-v10/themes.xml:

<style name="Base.TextAppearance.AppCompat.Title">
    <item name="android:textColor">?android:attr/textColorPrimaryInverse</item>
    <item name="android:textColorHint">?android:attr/textColorHintInverse</item>
    <item name="android:textColorHighlight">16842905</item>
    <item name="android:textColorLink">?android:attr/textColorLinkInverse</item>
</style>

You can definitely see that textColorHighlightInverse is not present in API level 10.
Check this textColorHighlightInverse link and select API level 10 in left menu.
