How to fix: "You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity"

Your application has an AppCompat theme

<application    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

But, you overwrote the Activity (which extends AppCompatActivity) with a theme that isn't descendant of an AppCompat theme

<activity android:name=".MainActivity"    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" >

You could define your own fullscreen theme like so (notice AppCompat in the parent=)

<style name="AppFullScreenTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>    <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>    <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item></style>

Then set that on the Activity.

<activity android:name=".MainActivity"    android:theme="@style/AppFullScreenTheme" >

Note: There might be an AppCompat theme that's already full screen, but don't know immediately

Used to face the same problem. The reason was in incorrect context passing to AlertDialog.Builder(here). use likeAlertDialog.Builder(Homeactivity.this)

u should add a theme to ur all activities (u should add theme for all application in ur <application> in ur manifest)but if u have set different theme to ur activity u can use :

 android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat"

or each kind of AppCompat theme!
