java.lang.illegalstateException you need to use a theme.appcompat theme(or descendant)

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with the design library.

This isn't an issue with the code in this repo and this is a wholly inappropriate way of asking for free developer support on the design library components.

Hint: the error message you copy pasted tells you exactly what to do.

Note: Eclipse is officially EOL'd so you won't likely get any support for it.
