Getting AppCompat does not support the current theme features exception after upgrading to version AppCompat v22.1.0 issue

Question

Previously i was using AppCompat with version 21.1.2 in my project for the purpose of material design toggle with toolbar. But after upgrading to AppCompat v22.1.0, my app has started working weird. I even tried some of the solutions like as follows

<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>

Also applying parent theme as

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">

But none of the above solutions was not helpful for me. So kindly please help me by your tips and suggestions to overcome my issue which i am currently facing. I am also posting my styles.xml and logcat error for your reference. Any kind of help would be helpful for me. Thanks in advance.

styles.xml

 <style name="MainActivityTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/white</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#F2F2F2</item>
        <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
        <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/yellow</item>
    </style>

Answer 1

Thank you all for your replies. I solved my issue on my own by removing the line

<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>

The error occurred because of adding windowNoTitle two times as follows

<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>

Answer 2

Remove .NoActionBar from your MainActivityTheme

<style name="MainActivityTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
        // ................................................
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>
