Remove Title Bar on Android Application

By xiao

This one’s real simple. If you want to get rid of the title bar in an Android application, you can do it programmatically with:

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

or in the manifest for your entire application inside the ‘activity’ element with

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

    Thanks for the tutorial. It’s straight to the point.

    I tried this but it didn’t work. If i do it programmatically, the activity i’m calling it from crashes with a force close. Making changes in the manifest has no effect.

    Try to put this code
    android:theme=”@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar”at the end of the tag. It works for me

     @cb6f932ad08a90b9d1f03ef4b11736d3:disqus  It works if you have this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    NB: including the ‘this.’ and also have it on the first line of the onCreate() method of the Activity.

    Note that the setting the theme in manifest is different from requesting no title in the code, some visual effects are different.

    But *WHERE* do you have to put it?
    And how do you show *AND* hide it?
