I am developing an application that uses the libraries appcompat v7 and support-v4. The application works correctly and its main theme is derived from Theme.AppCompat
.
Problems arise when I try to add any module (android library project) to the main project: I always get an IllegalStateException
.
At the moment the project library is completely empty: no Java classes or XML resources, there is only the file AndroidManifest:
MyLibrary AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.viewpagerindicator"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="7"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<application />
</manifest>
I also tried to add the theme Theme.AppCompat
to the Application section of MyLibrary:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
[...]
<application android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat" />
</manifest>
But the result is always the same exception:
