Error inflating class <unknown> when changing style to android:theme=“@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar”

Question

I get this error when launching my application. I don't know why I get this when adding Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar to my application Style:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.metao.recorder/com.metao.recorder.activities.MainActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #22: Binary XML file line #15: Error inflating class at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:3320) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:3416) at android.app.ActivityThread.access$1100(ActivityThread.java:229) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1821) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:102) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:148) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:7407) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:1230) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:1120) Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #22: Binary XML file line #15: Error inflating class at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:551) at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:429) at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:380) at android.support.v7.app.AppCompatDelegateImplV9.setContentView(AppCompatDelegateImplV9.java:292) at android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity.setContentView(AppCompatActivity.java:140) at com.metao.recorder.activities.MainActivity.onCreate(MainActivity.java:156) at android.app.Activity.performCreate(Activity.java:6904) at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(Instrumentation.java:1136) at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:3267) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:3416) at android.app.ActivityThread.access$1100(ActivityThread.java:229) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1821) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:102) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:148) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:7407) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) error

My manifest is like this:

 <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">

My v21/styles.xml file is this:

<resources>

    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
        <item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
        <item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>
</resources>

And styles.xml file is this:

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

    <style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar" parent="AppTheme">
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    </style>

Can Someone help me please?
