Got an error for removing an app title

Question

I want to get rid of the app title bar so i add these codes:

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

Instead i got an error with this:

03-05 16:30:48.735 10016-10016 E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

What is wrong with getting an app title bar removed?

As the error message states, your theme needs to be Theme.AppCompat or decent of Theme.AppCompat.

That means you need a theme with its parent as Theme.AppCompat or theme with inherits it.

Add this to your styles.xml.

<style name="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar.FullScreen" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
</style>

And in the manifest, change your activity theme to this theme.

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

Try doing `Invalidate cache and restart` in the file menu. – Shreyash S Sarnayak Mar 05 '17 at 09:18
