How to resolve the error “No resource found that matches the given name” when adding library v7 AppCompat in Eclipse?

by

This is what you have to do for use the ActionBar support library correctly.

Follow the instructions in the Support Library Setup – Adding libraries with resources.
One thing that can bring some doubt is add the library to your aplicattion project:

(1) In the Project Explorer, right-click your project and select Properties.
(2) At the left pane select Android.
(3) At th bottom of the right pane click Add
(4) Select the library project android-support-v7-appcompat and click OK.
Click OK to close the properties window.

If you not get any of the errors I mentioned it´s all done.

However if you are like me, you dont´t followed the advice of Android team that suggests you always compile your source using the latest SDK, you get the error.

The error ocurrs because my Project Build Target was Android 2.3.3 and need to be at lest 3.0.
It was not immediately clear to me because of the fact that I’m specifically developing for Android 2.3.3 and I’m using support libraries.

OK, I hope this helps.
