When I create a new project with API14 as minimum, then there is no values-21 or values-22 folder in my project. I don't see any styles.XML anywhere, so how should I put in XML code for just Lollipop?

I use Android Studio 1.0.1, and I have SDK 21, 21.1.1, 24.0.2 installed.

Answer

Updated: Since API 22 has been released. API 23 is the same idea.

Right click the RES folder

Then type values-v22 as the directory name and choose xml as the resource type.

If you do NOT see the values-v22 show up, click the Project pulldown at the top of the screen like so. e.g. Change from Android to Project

enter image description here

Now right click styles.xml in the values folder and choose copy

enter image description here

Now right click the values-v22 folder and click paste.

enter image description here

You should see this popup

Click ok

At this point you should be good to go.
