Android Studio - Action Bar remove

Question

I'm trying to remove/disable the ActionBar. I tried to put in the Manifest:

<activity
    ...
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
</activity>

and it doesn't work. It doesn't remove the ActionBar. Please help me. Thanks.

Answer 1

I had this issue too. I went to styles.xml and changed

parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar" 

to

parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"

and that removed it from all my activities.

Answer 2

in your oncreate() method use this

getActionBar().hide();

If your minSdkVersion is 10 or lower, instead use:

getSupportActionBar().hide();

Answer 3

You can try this. It works for me

Add it in style.xml

<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
      <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
      <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
      <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>

and use the style at manifest.xml.

android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"
