No resource found that matches the given name @style/Widget.AppCompat.EditText

Question

I'm receiving this error from Android Studio each time I try to build my project:

No resource found that matches the given name (at 'editTextStyle' with value '@style/Widget.AppCompat.EditText').

I've tried these items to no avail:

• Build -> Clean and then Build again
• Removing and then re-adding compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1' from build.gradle.
• Reseting Git, even trashing the project and re-downloading entirely

Answer 1

Go to App level "build.gradle" file and make sure the "buildToolsVersion" and "support:appcompat-v7" version are same. And also make sure "targetSdkVersion" and "compileSdkVersion" are same and doesn't differ from "buildToolsVersion" as well. If that doesn't work then try to add latest version of Android for all these values mentioned above. Then Sync the project and Run. Hope it'll work!

Answer 2

Looks like you are trying to access some resource from a .xml file that doesn't exist.

Answer 3

Go to your appcompat folder your system(C:.....\sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat) ,

Open the project.properties file then change the value from

default 19 to 21

target=android-21

save the file and then refresh your project.

Then clean the project
