Error Retrieving Parent for Item: No Resource Found That Matches the Given Name 'Android:Textappearance.Material.Widget.Button.Borderless.Colored'

Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Borderless.Colored'

Your compile SDK version must match the support library. so do one of the following:

1.In your Build.gradle change

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'

2.Or change:

compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

to

compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"

As you are using : compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'

i would recommend to use the 2nd method as it is using the latest sdk - so you can able to utilize the new functionality of the latest sdk.

Latest Example of build.gradle with build tools 27.0.2 -- Source

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    buildToolsVersion "27.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "your_applicationID"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 27
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.2'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:27.0.2'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

If you face problem during updating the version like:

Go through this Answer for easy upgradation using Google Maven Repository

EDIT

if you are using Facebook Account Kit

don't use: compile 'com.facebook.android:account-kit-sdk:4.+'

instead use a specific version like:

compile 'com.facebook.android:account-kit-sdk:4.12.0'

there is a problem with the latest version in account kit with sdk 23

EDIT

For Facebook Android Sdk

in your build.gradle instead of:

compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk: 4.+'

use a specific version:

compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.18.0'

there is a problem with the latest version in Facebook sdk with Android sdk version 23.

Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Colored'

Finally I've found a solution. After reading all answers and related issues (Facebook Sdk Android Error Building) and trying many things (libs updating, dependencies, lots of version changes etc.) I managed to build my app again. Then I reverted all unnecessary changes and there's what was left:

I needed to add 2 things (iterator and line with "force") in my android/build.gradle file (not android/app/build.gradle):

allprojects {
    configurations.all {
       resolutionStrategy {
         eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
           if (details.requested.group == 'com.facebook.react' && details.requested.name == 'react-native') {
             details.useVersion "0.37.0" // Your real React Native version here
           }
         }
         force 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.22.1'
       }
    }
}

Thanks for all the tips anyway!

Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name. 'ANDROID'

Please check with updated compile and SDK version like.

compileSdkVersion 28 
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 28

And update all support dependency version to 28.0.0 instead 25.0.0. Like this

implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0"

Also update compile to implementation.

Hope this will help.

No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Borderless.Colored'

I had the same issue and got it solved by changing the build tool version to 25.0.0 and target version to 25. I am using Android studio 2.3.

Hope it might help you.

Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name after upgrading to AppCompat v23

Your compile SDK version must match the support library's major version.

Since you are using version 23 of the support library, you need to compile against version 23 of the Android SDK.

Alternatively you can continue compiling against version 22 of the Android SDK by switching to the latest support library v22.
