yes, I had this problem for a while too. The error is probably in your styles.xml. The way to fix this is to go to project/properties/android then you should see the appcompat in the library, click add and then apply and then okay. Let me know if this helps.

my eclipse is being slow so I cannot look to see exactly how to help you. I believe you need to move one block of code from fragment.xml to the ActivityMain.xml. Then you need to delete two blocks of code in the main activity. These are the blocks of code with the underlined error. One is an If block and the other is the last block on the page. I am sorry I cannot be more helpful at this time but now my eclipse is not working properly. I believe the first video in the "build an app reader" project explains how to do this.
