Remove Android App Title Bar
AndroidLayoutTitlebarAndroid Problem Overview
I understand that these properties in the manifest:
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
can remove the title bar. However, I constantly check the Graphical Layout when I am modifying my app. When I look at the Graphical Layout I still see the title bar. I want to remove the title bar in a way that I don't have to see it during the development of the game.

Solution 1 - Android
Simple way is to put this in your onCreate()
:
// Java
getSupportActionBar().hide();
// Kotlin
supportActionBar?.hide()
Solution 2 - Android
-
In the Design Tab, click on the AppTheme Button
-
Choose the option "AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"
-
Click OK.
Solution 3 - Android
for Title Bar
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
for fullscreen
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
Place this after
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
but before
setContentView(R.layout.xml);
This worked for me.try this
Solution 4 - Android
I was able to do this for Android 2.1 devices and above using an App Compatibility library theme applied to the app element in the manifest:
<application
...
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" />
<style name="AppTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
...
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
Note: You will need to include the com.android.support:appcompat-v7
library in your build.gradle file
Solution 5 - Android
There are two options I'd like to present:
- Change the visibility of the SupportActionBar in JAVA code
- Choose another Style in your project's style.xml
1: Add getSupportActionBar().hide(); to your onCreate method.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getSupportActionBar().hide();
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
2: Another option is to change the style of your Application. Check out the styles.xml in "app->res->values" and change
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<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>
</style>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<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>
</style>
Solution 6 - Android
Just use this
getSupportActionBar().hide();
Solution 7 - Android
If you use AppCompat v7, v21
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
Solution 8 - Android
Use this to remove title from android app in your Androidmainfest.xml
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
or you can use this in your activity
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Solution 9 - Android
If you have import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
and your class extends ActionBarActivity
then use this in your OnCreate
:
android.support.v7.app.ActionBar AB=getSupportActionBar();
AB.hide();
Solution 10 - Android
In the graphical editor, make sure you have chosen your theme at the top.
Solution 11 - Android
It's obvious, but the App Theme
selection in design is just for display a draft during layout edition, is not related to real app looking in cell phone.
Just change the manifest file (AndroidManifest.xml
) is not enough because the style need to be predefined is styles.xml
. Also is useless change the layout files.
All proposed solution in Java
or Kotlin
has failed for me. Some of them crash the app. And if one never (like me) uses the title bar in app, the static solution is cleaner.
For me the only solution that works in 2019 (Android Studio 3.4.1) is:
in styles.xml
(under app/res/values) add the lines:
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
After in AndroidManifest.xml
(under app/manifests)
Replace
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
by
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
Solution 12 - Android
Title bar in android is called Action bar. So if you want to remove it from any specific activity, go to AndroidManifest.xml and add the theme type. Such as android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"
.
Example:
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:noHistory="true"
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Solution 13 - Android
In your res/values/styles.xml
of modern Android Studio projects (2019/2020) you should be able to change the default parent theme
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
I went one step further and had it look like this
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<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>
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>
This is based on the code generated from the Microsoft PWA builder https://www.pwabuilder.com/
Solution 14 - Android
in the graphical layout, you can choose the theme on the toolbar. (the one that looks like a star).
choose the NoTitleBar
and have fun.
Solution 15 - Android
Just change the theme in the design view of your activity to NoActionBar like the one here
Solution 16 - Android
To open the Design window: res->layouts->activity_manifest.xml then click on the "Design" button, next to "Code" and "Split". On the TOP LEFT Corner.
Solution 17 - Android
Use this Remove title and image from top.
Before:
setContentView(R.layout.actii);
Write this code:
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
