Apps recompile issue

[THE_SEM]

Does anyone know how to solve this issue:
Error
retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@and
roid:style/DialogWindowTitle'.

It looks there is an issue with values-v23\styles.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="Base.Widget.AppCompat.Spinner.Underlined" parent="@android:style/Widget.Material.Spinner.Underlined" />
<style name="Base.Theme.AppCompat" parent="@Style/Base.V23.Theme.AppCompat" />
<style name="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light" parent="@Style/Base.V23.Theme.AppCompat.Light" />
<style name="Base.TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Menu" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Material.Widget.ActionBar.Menu" />
<style name="Base.TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.Button.Inverse" parent="@android:style/AlertDialog" />
<style name="Base.Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored" parent="@android:style/DialogWindowTitle" />
<style name="Base.Widget.AppCompat.RatingBar.Indicator" parent="@android:style/Widget.Material.RatingBar.Indicator" />
<style name="Base.Widget.AppCompat.RatingBar.Small" parent="@android:style/Widget.Material.RatingBar.Small" />
<style name="Base.V23.Theme.AppCompat" parent="@Style/Base.V22.Theme.AppCompat">

<item name="actionMenuTextColor">?android:actionMenuTextColor</item>
<item name="controlBackground">@drawable/abc_control_background_material</item>
<item name="ratingBarStyleIndicator">?android:ratingBarStyleIndicator</item>
<item name="ratingBarStyleSmall">?android:ratingBarStyleSmall</item>
</style>
<style name="Base.V23.Theme.AppCompat.Light" parent="@Style/Base.V22.Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="actionBarItemBackground">?android:actionBarItemBackground</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextAppearance">?android:actionMenuTextAppearance</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">?android:actionMenuTextColor</item>
<item name="controlBackground">@drawable/abc_control_background_material</item>
<item name="ratingBarStyleIndicator">?android:ratingBarStyleIndicator</item>
<item name="ratingBarStyleSmall">?android:ratingBarStyleSmall</item>
</style>
</resources>

Is this an app you pulled from a ROM and modified?

Looks like it

https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/

 

[THE_SEM]

I dont know what "pulled from a ROM" is
it is an app free to change, I changed the database and want to recompile - this worked in the past.
I also came across https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/ on google while looking for an answer but in vain.
any help/clearancce is appreciated in this matter - I'm very novice

Looks like this thread belongs in our Application Development area--moved!

If the app is free to change, your best strategy would be to get hold of the source code, and work on that, rather than trying to work backwards from the APK.
Load the project into Android Studio, and build it from there.

Ok, but I only changed an entry in the SQLite-database, so I find it weird.
I think this change is even outside the Android Studio scope
I recompiled from cmd and i am allowed to change the APK.
I don't know if the issue can be fixed by changing something in the decompiled APK or what the exact problem is.

Perhaps contacting the actual developer would be more fruitful?

If all you want to do is add a record to the database, then you don't even need to touch the application code.
But as @scary alien suggested, maybe contacting the original developer would be a good plan?
