Does Holo Theme work with custom titlebar?

Question

I've got an application that draws a custom title bar using the following style for the application theme:

<style name="App_Theme" parent="android:Theme">
    <item name="android:windowTitleSize">30dip</item>
    <item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle">@style/App_TitleBackground</item>
</style>

This does not give me the holo theme. So I set the to parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo". This crashes the application with the following error:

E/AndroidRuntime(2048): Caused by: android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: You cannot combine custom titles with other title features

Is it disallowed to use custom title bar using:

 requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);

Or am I missing something here?

PS:

The code works perfectly fine with the parent set to "Android:Theme".

I'm using API Level 14

Answer 1

Let your activity use a theme with following attribute:

<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>

Answer 2

mido is correct

<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>

is the solution when using @android:style/Theme.Holo (default for ICS).

One observation, if you use @android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar change it back to the default @android:style/Theme.Holo.
