I don’t understand why this error appear cause it’s work perfectly on my devices

Anyone have an idea ?

Here is a part of my Manifest.xml

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

Thanks

Answer 1

Don’t use android:theme="@style/Theme.Sherlock".

Use setTheme(R.style.Theme_Sherlock); inside OnCreate.

E.g.

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    setTheme(R.style.Theme_Sherlock);
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // What you want to do here
}
