Material Design, AppCompat, and Backwards Compatibility

by

The whole point of AppCompat is that you only need one theme (you don’t need a separate one in values-v21) and it will be the same experience on all devices.

Theme.AppCompat already extends android:Theme.Material on API 21+ – it is just handling all of the version checking for you.
