You cannot combine custom titles or other title features

Question

This is just killing me. I am not manipulating the feature title anywhere so Im not sure why I keep getting this error. It errors at getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR); or getActionBar() if I remove the previous line.

03-13 02:51:37.268: E/AndroidRuntime(7211): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.super64/com.super64.activities.events.EventActivity}: android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: You cannot combine custom titles with other title features

EventActivity.java

public class EventActivity extends BaseEventActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.fragment_container);
    }

BaseEventActivity.java

public class BaseEventActivity extends BaseActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener {
    @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR);
            ViewHelper.initTabs(getActionBar(), this);
        }

themes.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="ExposureTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
        <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/app_background_image</item>

I had to move this setContentView to the top, and it worked????????????

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        setContentView(R.layout.fragment_container);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

You should still do it after the call to super though. – dcow Mar 13 '14 at 18:45
Super contains the actionbar logic – Mike Flynn Mar 13 '14 at 19:29
