解决Android: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.

今天继续读郭少的<<第一行代码>>，在研究2.4.4体验活动的生命周期，根据书上代码重新敲了一遍，在点击Start DialoyActivity按钮时，程序后台报错，如下：

/AndroidRuntime: Shutting down VM

Application terminated.

我在AndroidManifest.xml中写的是：

<activity android:name=".DialogActivity"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
</activity>

根据提示，告诉我下面这句话有问题

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"

解决方案有2：

1、将DialogActivity继承类由AppCompatActivity改为Activity

2、将android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"改为
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Dialog"
