I have an Android library module that defines a theme:
<style name="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar.FullScreen" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">false</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/v4_window_background</item>
</style>
<style name="MP.Theme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar.FullScreen">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBarStyle</item>
<!-- colorPrimary is used for the default action bar background -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/V4_Green</item>
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/MP.Widget.DrawerArrowStyle</item>
<!-- colorPrimaryDark is used for the status bar -->
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/V4_Green_Pressed</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/V4_White</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/V4_White</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimaryInverse">@color/V4_White</item>
<item name="android:buttonStyle">@style/MP.Base.Widget.Button</item>
<item name="actionBarPopupTheme">@style/CustomToolbarTheme</item>
<item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
<item name="android:windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
<item name="android:actionModeStyle">@style/MP.Widget.ActionMode</item>
<item name="actionModeStyle">@style/MP.Widget.ActionMode</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">@color/V4_White</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/V4_White</item>
<!--<item name="android:fitsSystemWindows">true</item>-->
<!-- colorAccent is used as the default value for
colorControlActivated which is used to tint widgets. -->
<item name="colorAccent">@color/V4_Green</item>
<item name="toolbarNavigationButtonStyle">@style/toolbarStyle</item>
<item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/overflowButtonStyle</item>
<item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/overflowButtonStyle</item>
</style>
The AAR module gets build successfully, and the app module successfully uses the library as a dependency.
In the main app, I'm trying to reference the theme as a parent:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<style name="App_MP.Theme" parent="MP.Theme">
</style>
</resources>
However I get Error:(217) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'MP.Theme'.
I've also tried using "@style/MP.Theme".
Not sure how to proceed from here - how to correctly reference a resource inside my library?

The gradle files I added were modified to remove the product's name.
UPDATE 2
Removing the build flavors from the library seems to resolve this. But I need the build flavors.
Can't find the problem yet, since my resources are in src/main/res.
Just resolved it by myself after finding out about publishing multiple variants.
In short: 1. Add
android {
...
// Tells Gradle to build all variants of the library. Note that this
// may increase build times because Gradle must build multiple AARs,
// instead of only one.
publishNonDefault true
}
to the library.
2.Add
android {...}
...
// Creates Gradle dependency configurations to use in the dependencies block.
configurations {
// Initializes placeholder configurations that the Android plugin can use when targeting
// the corresponding variant of the app.
aDebugCompile {}
bReleaseCompile {}
...
}
dependencies {
// If the library configures multiple build variants using product flavors,
// you must target one of the library's variants using its full configuration name.
aDebugCompile project(path: ':my-library-module', configuration: 'aDebug')
bReleaseCompile project(path: ':my-library-module', configuration: 'bRelease')
...
}
To the app build file.
