if you have problems with appcompact 7 - there is a workaround

  1. right click you project and from the menu go to properties
  2. in the new window (shown in the picture) select android.
  3. at the lib section (red rectangle) remove appcompact7
  4. press add button and select appcompact7 again

enter image description here

if you want to manually change your styles, go to your project, track down the problematic xml files, and replace 

android:Widget.Material.ActionButton  --> Materials new layout

with this:

android:style/Theme.Holo.Light  --> Holo theme (from android HoneyComb and later)
