now add string string.xml

<string name="action_search">search</string> 

this code in res/menu/main

<item     android:id="@+id/action_search"     android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_search"     android:name="@string/action_search"     android:showasaction="ifroom"/> 

this code @ manifest error @ (android:label="@string/theme.appcompat.light") .

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    package="com.example.actionbar"    android:versioncode="1"    android:versionname="1.0" >  <uses-sdk     android:minsdkversion="11"     android:targetsdkversion="18" />  <application     android:allowbackup="true"     android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"     android:label="@string/app_name"     android:theme="@style/apptheme" >     <activity         android:name="com.example.actionbar.mainactivity"         android:label="@string/theme.appcompat.light" >          <<<<<<<<<<<error         <intent-filter>             <action android:name="android.intent.action.main" />              <category android:name="android.intent.category.launcher" />         </intent-filter>     </activity> </application>  </manifest> 

this error in r & theme.appcompat.light.

 r cannot resolved variable  no resource found matches given name (at 'label' value   '@string/theme.appcompat.light') 

how can ?? thank you

you forgot +. change android:id="@id/action_search" android:id="@+id/action_search".

and make sure have declared string name action_search , given value search in strings.xml file. ex. <string name="action_search">search<string>.

cheers.
