Hide Android Action Bar solution

Question

I've been looking for the solution to hide Android Action Bar. Tens of them are published and work the same way - Action Bar is hidden only after it's shown for the second. Not good enough, so I tested more and created my own solution. It was not published anywhere, but seems for me very simple and obvious. The most important is - Action Bar can't be seen at all.

My question is - what's wrong with it ? ) Why did Android dinosaurs avoid something like that ?

Solution to hide Android Action Bar :

in Manifest

 android:theme="@style/CustomActionBarTheme"

in themes.xml

<style name="CustomActionBarTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"> <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item> <!-- Support library compatibility --> <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item> </style> <!-- ActionBar styles --> <style name="MyActionBar" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse"> <item name="android:layout_marginBottom">-50dp</item> </style>

As you can see I just use negative marginBottom.

You should just use Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar - it completely removes the action bar as per its name.

Use this parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar" And allow this in your style

<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item> <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item> <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item> <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>

If you don't want to use ActionBar then you have use Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar Theme.

Apply the following in your Theme for the Activity in AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity android:name=".Activity" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity>

You can hide ActionBar programatically also.

 ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar(); or getSupportActionBar(); actionBar.hide();

I hope it helps!

I made it work just changing parent value in /res/values/style.xml:

<resources> <!-- Base application theme. --> <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"> </style> </resources>

That worked for me.
