Answer 1

May I know what is your Android Studio version? When you create the activity, you will have this value in your styles.xml

    <style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
       <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
       <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    </style>

Check on your res > values > styles.xml, add it if there is no value like above. Then go to your manifest, add android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" in your activity tag.

<activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait"
    android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
    
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>


    </intent-filter>

</activity>

For new version of Android Studio, styles.xml has been replaced to themes.xml.

Answer 2

in your oncreate()

this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

OR
in your manifest

<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
          android:label="@string/app_name"
          android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">

If your class extends ActionBarActivity then you can use

actionbar=getSupportActionBar();
actionbar.hide();
