You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.

一箫一剑平生意，负尽狂名十五年。这篇文章主要讲述You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.相关的知识，希望能为你提供帮助。
这几天想给自己的后端程序搞个前端架子，准备用安卓来实现，现学现用，直接京东搜索关于安卓的热门书籍，下个PDF搞起。
销量第一的是《第一行代码 android 第2版》，不错，销量第一，拿来入门应该足够了，不过这书是基于 Android 7 的，谷歌真是神速，到今天 Android 9 都已经发布了
花了半天直接看到了第二章，虽然是安卓萌新，但也勉强实现了手机上的界面 DEMO，真刺激啊。
【You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.】先运行一下瞧瞧，先点个弹窗试试。

根据我菜鸟般的编程经验，这不过是个小问题，后来知道了，这的确是个小问题，但这个问题也让我整整懵逼了一天。

一开始呢，书中的代码是下面这样的：
