androidandroid-actionbar-compat
I used ActionBar Style Generator, and now trying to use into my app, but getting :
error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@style/
Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar'.
i am using android-support-v7-appcompat.jar lib inside libs folder
my target is to make my app compatible 2.3 or above
You need to do next:
File->Import (android-sdk\extras\android\support\v7). Choose "AppCompat" Project-> properties->Android. In the section library "Add" and choose "AppCompat" Note: if you are using "android:showAsAction" in menu item, you need to change prefix android as in the example http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html
If you are using eclipse, adding the compatible library it's pretty easy:
I hope this resolve your problem. Do a new project from scratch and try this, if doesn't work i will try other things.

AppCompatis a library project. You need to reference the library project in your android project.Check the topic Adding libraries with resources.
Update
Adding material theme should be the way. Check https://material.io/develop/android/docs/getting-started for more details.
