title: Use Theme.AppCompat in a xamarin.android app
body: <p>I'm trying to make an Android app through Xamarin. I work on Windows 10 with VS2015.</p>
  
  <p>I have to implement a side bar menu. After some research I found a solution to do it : use a DrawerLayout and others tools. That's why I use Theme.AppCompat in my application.</p>
  
  <p>But when I'm trying to make a style which herits from Theme.Appcompat.light.NoActionBar, I got compile issue. The message is : </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@android:style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar'.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I've added Xamarin.Android.Support.v4 and Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat references to my project as bellow :</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/bX3CB.png" rel="nofollow">Project References</a></p>
  
  <p>Edit: I also tried to add them by xamarin Component and nuget package manager. </p>
  
  <p>But nothing compile. </p>
  
  <p>Here is the code which produce this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;resources&gt;
    &lt;style name="DailyCoin.HomeTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorPrimary"&gt;#219653&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="drawerArrowStyle"&gt;@style/MyDrawerArrowStyle&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;/style&gt;
    &lt;style name="MyDrawerArrowStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle"&gt;
      &lt;item name="color"&gt;#F5F5F5&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="spinBars"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;/style&gt;
  &lt;/resources&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>minSdkVersion is 17 and compile using version is 23</p>
