Hi guys,
at the moment, i'm troubling around with my custom theme which has successfully worked for 3.2.x.
So which changes do I have to make, when I face this error message:

[ERROR] : TiApplication: (main) [827,1275] Sending event: exception on thread: main msg:java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{ch.farmerguide.mobile/org.appcelerator.titanium.TiTranslucentActivity}: java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.; Titanium 3.3.0,2014/07/11 12:36,787cd39I created the android theme with this page: http://android-holo-colors.com/
And currently I'm having this directory structure in my (alloy) app: ~~~ / platform / | /android/ | /res/ | /drawable-*/ (all the drawable-hdpi etc. stuff) /layout/ /values/ (here are the interesting files i guess)
Regarding Titanium Documentation (http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/release-notes/?version=3.3.0.GA#themes) I try to change all the styles like parent="android:Widget.Holo.Spinner" (or any other parent="android:Widget.*") with parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.*" but still getting the same error.
So any ideas?
The files in /platform/ and tiapp.xml are stored here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7800287/customtheme_android_titanium_problem.zip
