Remove title from action bar activity

Question

I know how to remove the title in action bar activity from the code, but is it possible to remove the title from the xml file?

Answer 1

Yes.. just set the title attribute for that activity to be empty in the Manifest.xml.

Answer 2

See in How do you remove the title text from the Android ActionBar?

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

<style name="AppBaseTheme.ActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar">
    <item name="android:displayOptions">showHome|useLogo</item>
</style>

Answer 3

By remove I assume you mean have an empty String value placed there? You can do it from the AndroidManifest.

When defining the activity in the manifest set "android:title" for the activities you want to remove the title in the action bar activity for.

<activity
    android:name=".Activity"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait"
    android:title=""/>
