Rendering Problems (Android Studio 1.0.2 OSX)

Hi Ben (or anyone else who has a solution) :)

I watched your video and tried to open up a new project for the FunFacts App. I updated my Android Studio to 1.0.2 on my Mac and after I press "finish" I got that error:

"Rendering Problems Missing styles. Is the correct theme chosen for this layout? Use the Theme combo box above the layout to choose a different layout, or fix the theme style references.

Failed to find style 'textViewStyle' in current theme. (4 similar errors not shown)"

When I open the mentioned "Theme Box above" I can select a Theme from Material Dark, Holo light or anything else. Which one should I take or does this not matter at all?

Thanks for your help, so far great videos here!

cheers

I too am getting this error, surprised that nobody has posted an answer. Did you figure it out or did you just go with another theme?

To fix this I opened up the styles.xml file and change the line of code

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

to 

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

seem to fix it for that theme, hope that helps.... cheers! Stephen
