If you want to hide the Android ActionBar on an Activity, it looks like there are at least two approaches.
First, add the android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
entry to the activity’s definition in AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity android:name=".PlayAGameActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" > </activity>
A second approach is to add this code in the Activity (or Fragment) onCreate
method:
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR); getActionBar().hide();
I just tried both approaches in an Android app I’m working on, and I can verify that they both work.
