I'm creating a gallery activity, and I want to overlay the action bar just like in the normal gallery app, similar to this:

In styles.xml, I created the theme:

<style
    name="GalleryTheme"
    parent="Theme.AppCompat">
    <item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
</style>

And in the Android manifest file:

<activity
        android:name=".Activities.Gallery"
        android:label="Gallery"
        android:theme="@style/GalleryTheme">
</activity>

However this didn't do anything at all. Is there anything I'm missing?

Can you post a picture or a screenshot of what you want to achieve? I don't think I have the same Gallery app – GSala Oct 18 '15 at 23:35
You want the action bar translucent with content showing beneath it? – kris larson Oct 18 '15 at 23:40

I added a photo of what I'm looking for – Thomas Oct 18 '15 at 23:42
I think you would be able to do that using a `FrameLayout` and putting a `Toolbar` with a transparent background on top of your content – GSala Oct 18 '15 at 23:51
