I’m trying to use a transparent background for my android app as stated here:

http://developer.android.com/training/basics/supporting-devices/platforms.html#style-themes

But I get this error:

error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at
‘theme’ with value
‘@style/Theme.Translucent’). AndroidManifest.xml /MyFirstApp line

My device is using Android 4.1.

Answer 1

Its a

@android:style/Theme.Translucent

not a

@style/Theme.Translucent

Actually, Theme.Translucent is part of android platform resources style.

When you are refer it by @style/Theme.Translucent its find in local resource directory. And there is not any style declared by you.
