I'm new to Android development, so sorry if this is a stupid question. I have disabled Action Bar in AndroidManifest.xml like this android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" but I'm in need of Action Bar in a certain activity. How do I create and set new Action Bar only to that activity?

Edit: I forgot to mention that the activity I want to have an Action Bar is child of the activity with no Action Bar. I guess this causes the problems.

Define the theme for that perticular activity in the menifest. 

<activity
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"

The best way is for this problem

<activity android:name=".MainActivity"  android:theme="@style/AlertDialog.AppCompat.Light" android:label="activity_with_actionbar" />

And 

    <activity android:name=".SecondActivity"  android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar" android:label="activity_with_no_actionbar" />

You can do the opposite, i.e., In AndroidManifest keep theme as android:theme="@style/AppTheme"

and in Activities that you dont want to see ActionBar, add below code in its onCreate method:

getSupportActionBar().hide();

Add theme specifically for each activity inside manifest

<activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar" >
  </activity>

You can create a custom Action bar. And implement ActionBar class in the activity u needed to have an action bar. Its very easy way to do what you want. Follow this tutorial.
