title: java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity. titanium
body: <p>I'm creating a custom theme for my Titanium application using this theme <a href="http://android-holo-colors.com/" rel="nofollow">generator</a>. But when I run my application it's crashing and my log says that I need <code>appCompact</code> even if I set the theme for sdk > sdk 11.</p>
  
  <p>And my targeting Android version is API 19 and min SDK version is API14, so I wonder why I need <code>appCompact</code>.</p>
  
  <p>This is what my log says:</p>
