How to use ActionBarActivity with Theme.Material

I created a new project targeting the L preview. The starter activity that the sdk generates extends ActionBarActivity, however, when I try to run the bare-bone generated activity, it throws the following exception:

  Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.
            at android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivityDelegate.onCreate(ActionBarActivityDelegate.java:110)
            at android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivityDelegateICS.onCreate(ActionBarActivityDelegateICS.java:57)
            at android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity.onCreate(ActionBarActivity.java:99)

I've looked around but Theme.AppCompat.Material doesn't seem to exist. How do I make ActionBarActivity to take advantage of the new Material themes?
