You have to call `

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false) - to hide it,

or

getSupportActionBar().setTitle("new title"); - if you want to change it

Kinda "workaround", but it's working fine:

In the Manifest

<activity
        android:name=".YourActivity"
        android:label="" />

    This is the solution if you don't want the title but you want to be able to have a menu - even if it's just a single icon. I had code that worked with an icon-menu-item in another activity and wanted to reuse it here. Would have been a lot of extra code to write it as a button. – Andy Weinstein May 19 '19 at 09:49

You can use getSupportActionBar. if you want to hide just your app name use this code in Activity of that page :

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);

And if you want to hide ActionBar use this

getSupportActionBar().hide();

And you can ReName your app with :

getSupportActionBar().setTitle("that name you want");

Totaly you can use:

getSupportActionBar().

and others code ...

If you want to do this outside of the code, put this in your manifest:
<activity android:name=".ActivityName" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">

It works for me

Go to Style.xml change it from

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

to

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

In Kotlin you can use:

supportActionBar?.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false)

The "?" is important because you can have the whole title bar disabled already because you try to set a a not existing title bar's title status to false.

just replace parent property for appTheme style in styles.xml to '@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar'
