After updating to Android SDK level 21 I got the following error messages on Console related to Material Design resources,
[2014-11-03 11:30:25 - AndroidApp] appcompat_v7/res/values-v21/styles_base.xml:75: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.ActionButton'.

If you look into appcompat_v7 -> res folder you would see errors in folders,
values-v11, values-v14, values-v17 and values-v21 folders : styles_base_text.xml, styles_base.xml, themes_base.xml files
To resolve this issue,
- Right Click on appcompat_v7 library and select Properties
- Now, Click on Android Option,
- Set Project Build Path as Android 5.0 (API level 21)
- Apply Changes.
- Now go to project.properties file under appcompat_v7 library,
- Set the project target as : target=android-21
- Now Clean + Build appcompat_v7 library and your projects
All errors including R Class is not found exception must go and things would be all set to get started again :)
