'How do I remove the title bar from my app?

In my app there is this title bar at the top where the overflow menu would be, but I don't need settings and only have one screen. When I change the theme like described in many other questions I get the old 2.2 theme. I want to have the modern theme just without the bar at the top.

Go to styles.xml and change .DarkActionBar for .NoActionBar

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>

becomes

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>

if colors are irrelevant to your app, you can actually go for

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

In the manifest file Change:

    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar"

Solution 3:[3]

this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

works in onCreate() when put before setContentView() is invoked.

otherwise it crashes

Solution 4:[4]

Check this

 ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    actionBar.hide();

Solution 5:[5]

In styles.xml file, change DarkActionBar to NoActionBar

    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

Solution 6:[6]

Go to Project -> app -> main -> res -> values -> styles.xml

Change this line if you want to delete it for every view

 `<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">`

to

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

if you want to make it just for one view you can change it in youre manifest data. Go to Android -> manifests -> AndroidManifest.xml. do following:

  1. Search the View you want to get this type of change <activity android:name"...">
  2. Add android:theme=""@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar"

Solution 7:[7]

This works for me

getSupportActionBar().hide();

Solution 8:[8]

This was working for me on values/styles.xml add items:

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

Solution 9:[9]

In the manifest file change to this:

android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar" >

Solution 10:[10]

  1. open styles.xml
  2. insert
 <style name="no_title" parent="AppTheme">
        <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
 </style>

you can change name="---------"

  1. open Androidmaifest.xm

    find android:theme="@style/AppTheme" chang to android:theme="@style/no_title"

  2. click select Theme on menubar (it's green color near MainActivity)

    • click project Theme
    • click no_title (on you right hand Side)
    • click OK

Solution 11:[11]

For Beginner Like Me. Just Do it what I say.From your Android Project.

app -> res -> values -> style.xml

replace this code

<resources>

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>

</resources>

Enjoy.

Solution 12:[12]

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    getSupportActionBar().hide();

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

Just simply put getSupportActionBar().hide(); between super.onCreate and setContentView method.

Solution 13:[13]

do this in you manifest file:

<application 
    android:icon="@drawable/icon" 
    android:label="@string/app_name" 
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">

Solution 14:[14]

delete the following from activity_main.xml

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>

this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

in onCreate() works!

Solution 16:[16]

Try changing styles to NoActionBar if that doesn't works add this code to your main activity

 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
        actionBar.hide();
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    }

Solution 17:[17]

This works for me i hope this work for you as well

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

Solution 18:[18]

In Kotlin, this is how to do.

val actionBar: ActionBar? = supportActionBar
    actionBar?.hide()

Solution 19:[19]

Best way is to use actionbar function setTitle() if you wish to show logo or have some other stuff in you actionBar but dont want to see name of the app, write this code in MainActivity.java or anywhere you wish to hide title in onCreate:

android.support.v7.app.ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
actionBar.setIcon(R.mipmap.full_white_logo_m); // display logo
actionBar.setTitle(""); // hide title

This way your app won't have reason to crash.

Solution 20:[20]

Just use setTitle(null) above

toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

The title will disappear then you can use the logo of your choice.....

Solution 21:[21]

The easiest way: Just double click on this button and choose "NoTitleBar" ;)

Click here to see where it is :)

Solution 22:[22]

I have faced the same problem as you, and solve this problem just by changing the class which I extended.

//you will get the app that does not have a title bar at the top.
import android.app.Activity;
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{}

//you will get the app that has title bar at top
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{}

I hope this will solve your problem.

Solution 23:[23]

In AndroidManifest.xml of your application you'll find the android:theme for example set to @style/AppTheme

Now go to styles.xml, find the style tag, make sure that name is set to AppTheme the same as in manifest and set parent to android:Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar (also do this in styles(v21) if you have it in your project)

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- ... -->
</style>

Solution 24:[24]

Just call setTitle(null); in onCreate()

Solution 25:[25]

try: toolbar.setTitle(" ");

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    toolbar.setTitle("");
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
}

Solution 26:[26]

To simply remove the title bar (which means the bar contains your app name) from an activity, I simply add below line to that activity in the manifests\AndroidManifest.xml:

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

It should now look like below

<activity
  android:name=".MyActivity"
  android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"></activity>

Hope it'll be useful.

Solution 27:[27]

Newer versions replaced styles.xml with themes.xml

Go to Project -> app -> res -> values -> themes -> themes.xml

and change e.g.

<style name="Theme.MyApplication" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- omitted for brevity -->
</style>

to

<style name="Theme.MyApplication" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar">
    <!-- omitted for brevity. -->
</style>

Switching the parent to NoActionBar

Do this for both themes.xml files
