Cannot resolve symbol 'Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar'

I tried removing the ActionBar as shown in the video, but I got this error:

Cannot resolve symbol 'Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar'

here's my style.xml:

<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

</resources>

can anyone help?

Hey! I think you should write like that <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"> Try to do not add Base.
