Replace your code
Change extends ActionBarActivity to AppCompatActivity

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

To

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

Change theme name android:theme="@style/AppTheme"

and remove requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); code in your activity file

Add the following in the <style> tag in res/values/styles.xml:

<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>

So you just want to remove the title of the action bar? It's very simple: just set this android:label="@string/app_name" to whatever you want the title or android:label="" if you want no title.

No i want to hide the title bar not only title – Raju Jul 27 '16 at 10:02
Then choose a theme which has no action bar. Follow @vinoth12594's answer. – Andrei Pascale Jul 27 '16 at 10:05

If your goal is just to hide the title bar (ToolBar), there is a method for that already.

Try

getSupportActionBar().hide();

Inside the onCreate method of your activity

Test this out just now and it is working fine. Placing the getSupportActionBar().hide(); after setContentView(). Could you uninstall the old app from the device and apply the code before you re-run the app and let's see – Hassan Semiu Ayomon Jul 27 '16 at 10:20

try enabling your Activity to Full mode

activity.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
getSupportActionBar().hide();
