How can i remove icon and title from ActionBar in Android on startup?

Question

In my android project, I wish to disable icon and the title in ActionBar.

Here is the code:

@Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
        getActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

But always on startup they appear and after a while they disappear but i don't want them at all. How can i remove them on startup?

Just call those codes in _oncreate_ method instead of _onCreateOptionsMenu_ — LOG_TAG, Apr 10 '14 at 08:10

if u don't want title bar then In `onCreate` add this Line `requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);` — W I Z A R D, Apr 10 '14 at 08:29

call setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false) and setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false) on your ActionBar.

actionBar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(false); should do it.

Or

For Splashscreen you should use this line in manifest and don't use getActionBar()

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

and once when Splash Activity is finished in the main Activity use below or nothing

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

You can use below code for that -

<activity android:name="YourActivityname" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" />

If you want the full screen of your device you can use below code -

<activity android:name="YourActivityname" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" />

And, also refer Developer's Site

Another method

Do this in your onCreate() method.

    //Remove title bar
    this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

    //Remove notification bar
    this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

   //set content view AFTER ABOVE sequence (to avoid crash)
    this.setContentView(R.layout.your_layout_name_here);

this refers to the Activity.

i tried the second method you told me and the same thing.i added false 0dp and i got what i wanted but i have now trouble reappearing the actionbar.this: getActionBar().show(); doesnt help – c_user89 Apr 10 '14 at 09:09
Make sure the `setContentView(view)` has been already called for your Activity, otherwise `getActionBar()` will return null. – Lal Apr 10 '14 at 10:23
also check that `` is there in the manifest – Lal Apr 10 '14 at 10:25

Maybe this answer can help you. It helped me.

<quote>
Best method is to set the display options to useLogo in your theme. E.g.

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/AppTheme.ActionBar</item>
</style>

<style name="AppTheme.ActionBar" parent="android:Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid">
    <item name="android:displayOptions">useLogo</item>
</style>

This won't actually show the logo (if set) because showHome is not included.

try this:

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
    actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(false);
    actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
    actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

NOTE: The getActionBar() method was added in Honeycomb (API: 11) and later
