Android toolbar error

Question

I am attempting to use a Toolbar in my application and I am running into an issue:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: This Activity already has an action bar supplied by the window decor. Do not request Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR and set android:windowActionBar to false in your theme to use a Toolbar instead.

I do not believe that I am requesting Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR anywhere and I am setting the ActionBar to false. This is my Style.xml:

<resources>

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
    <item name="android:colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
    <item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>
    <item name="android:colorAccent">@color/accent</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/text</item>
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/text_primary</item>
    <item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/text_secondary</item>
</style>

<style name="ToolbarTheme" parent="android:ThemeOverlay.Material.ActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>

</resources>

and this is my toolbar.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Toolbar
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
    android:theme="@style/ToolbarTheme">

</Toolbar>

and in my layouts I am doing <include layout="@layout/toolbar" /> and then setActionBar(toolbar) in my onCreate(). I have seen multiple threads about this but none solve my issue. I should also note I am only supporting 5.0 so I am not using appcompat

Yes, I saw that thread, and the solution did not work for me — Ryan Sayles, Feb 14 '15 at 21:41
`windowActionBar` is only used when you are using AppCompat, which like I said, I'm not — Ryan Sayles, Feb 14 '15 at 22:16

You have to use this style for your Activity not the Toolbar.

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
   ....
   <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>

If you are not using the appCompat library:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light">
   ....
   <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>

I tried that as well and it did not work. At first I just used my `AppTheme` as the theme for my toolbar, then I changed it to have it's own theme and placed the `android:windowActionBar` in both and neither worked – Ryan Sayles Feb 15 '15 at 16:50
@RyanSayles Post your manifest. Are you setting the style for your activity? – Gabriele Mariotti Feb 15 '15 at 16:59
I have `android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >` in my ` – Ryan Sayles Feb 15 '15 at 17:49
