The Actionbar has been deprecated and replaced by Toolbar. That being said, you can do the following if you want to continue using Actionbar for now:
- Open styles.xml in the values folder inside the res folder.
- Add the word Base to the beginning of the theme name so that it reads “Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar”
I had the same issue today and this solution worked for me. FYI I am in Android Studio though, but hopefully,the solution is similar for Eclipse.
FYI here is a decent blog post on replacing the Actionbar with the Toolbar for when you are ready to do so: https://blog.xamarin.com/android-tips-hello-toolbar-goodbye-action-bar/
