“appcompat_v7” project is created automaticaly after creating a new project in Eclipse

Do as follows to overcome this issue, this works for me. Create project as usual than follow below steps


Step-1:
Right Click on your Project -> Properties -> Android -> In Library panel, remove appcompat_v7 library, Apply and Ok

Step-2:
In Project goto res -> values -> style.xml

In line <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light"> change parent value from Theme.AppCompat.Light to android:Theme.Light

Step-3:
In Project goto res -> values-v11 -> style.xml

In line <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light"> change parent value from Theme.AppCompat.Light to android:Theme.Holo.Light

Step-4:
In Project goto res -> values-v14 -> style.xml

In line <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"> change parent value from Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar to android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar

Step-5:
In Project goto menu -> main.xml remove these lines in menu tag:

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="com.example.test.MainActivity"
and in item tag change this line from app:showAsAction="never" to android:showAsAction="never"

In project, goto res -> layout -> delete fragment.xml

Step-6:
In MainActivity extends Activity not ActionBarActivity and finally your MainActivity.java after remove unnecessary code, looks like this:

package com.example.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}

}


Enjoy:)
