No resource identifier found for attribute 'showAsAction' in package "..."

I was trying to modify an default empty activity and form a default activity with action bar. There are two activities I made, which are both empty without actionbar. What I try to achieve is to click on the first activity(without actionbar) and navigate to the second activity(with actionbar). What I have done are:
1. add a menu
2. modify the second activity by changing the activity to AppCompatActivity
3. add a support library which is v7-appcompat (which was added as a referenced library. I am not sure whether it should be referenced lib or other format.)
The Manifest file part is shown below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.tracker"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="14"
android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".SecondActivity"
android:label="#string/second" >
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
The first activity is:
package com.example.tracker;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//get the button
Button button1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent intent= new Intent(MainActivity.this,SecondActivity.class);
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
}
The second activity is:
package com.example.tracker;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class SecondActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);
}
#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;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
The menu in res is:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="com.example.tracker.MainActivity"
>
<item
android:id="#+id/myitem"
android:orderInCategory="2"
android:title="myitem"
app:showAsAction="never"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:orderInCategory="1"
android:title="action_settings"
app:showAsAction="never"/>
</menu>
The only observable problem is that the menu has an error which is written in the title of this problem. Currently, the first activity can run properly, however, when I click the button, the application stops.
By removing app:showAsAction="never" does not solve the problem.

Cant remove Title Bar Android app

Have big problem removing the Title Bar with Settings button.
When i try to remove it with code : android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"> or similary i get App crash.
Application consists of Splash screen, and Web View activity.

Try this
Change the Base application theme from Appcompat theme to Android theme and create a new theme for Splash screen.
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.DeviceDefault.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
<!-- Splash screen theme. -->
<style name="SplashTheme" parent="android:Theme.DeviceDefault.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
</resources>
Now make your MainActivity to extend Activity instead of ActionBarActivity
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Open menu_main.xml and change
app:showAsAction="never"
to
android:showAsAction="never"
In AndroidManifest.xml set the theme for Splash Screen as follows
<activity
android:name=".splashscreen"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="#style/SplashTheme"
android:noHistory="true" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Remove these lines from the SplashScreen.java
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
And you will get what you wanted. The error which you got is because you are switching from an Activity to ActionBarActivity

cannot use SessionLoginBehaviour SSO_WITH_FALLBACK

Even after defining com.facebook.LoginActivity in my AndroidManifest.xml file the logcat gives the same error and asks to define com.facebook.LoginActivity as activity. I have followed this https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/login-with-facebook/v2.2#step2 tutorial.

The facebook login activity is com.facebook.LoginActivity with a capital 'L'. You're using a lower case l.

Adding action button using ADT 14

I am a new developer of Android App and learning all tips from Getting Started. I'm now on the second stage phase 2 "Adding Action Button" and stuck with adding the actions to the action bar. Here is my current situation.

I tried to figure out those 2 errors for couple days but I couldn't. Please help.

Do I have to download the google map key or something? Because i read on the internet that to load google maps on my application activity I have to download the key and only then will maps work! Is that why I am having this problem??

String url = "http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=" + "9982878"+","+"76285774"+"&daddr="+"9992084"+","+"76286455";
Intent intent1 = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(intent1);
If you use the above your os will find the available app's to display the map. I tested the above in samsung galaxy s3. I had the option of choosing from default phone browser, chrome and Maps. All the apps were already installed on my phone.
It may be a browser or maps available in the phone. But this opens a new application from your activity.
If you want to display map in your application by customizing, then use google map api available for android.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSqLKIow7sY. You can follow the tutorial to get google map API Key. API key is required if your using Google maps API for displaying maps on your phone.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>//permission in manifest
After you get the key in your map.xml paste the key
<com.google.android.maps.MapView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/mapview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="350dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:apiKey="paste your key here" //paste key
/>
You can also use a webview. This is as good as opening the browser to display map.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
WebView wv;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
wv= (WebView) findViewById(R.id.wv);
wv.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
WebSettings webSettings = wv.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
wv.loadUrl("http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=" + "9982878"+","+"76285774"+"&daddr="+"9992084"+","+"76286455");
}
}
