Go to res -> values in Android path and create a file is called style.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

I get the same result on both (screen capture attached) where I can extend all three styles.
If this doesn’t work for you, you might try adding a version identifier to your res/values directory name, like res/values-v6 or res/values-v7. (But here I’m just guessing, based on a bug I’ve seen with images loading from res/drawable.)
But I wonder if you might want to upgrade your DROID to Android 2.2 (Froyo) or Android 2.3 (GIngerbread) ?
