how to remove title bar in android / How to hide the title bar for an Activity in XML / Remove Android App Title Bar


1. By XML

You need to modify the style.xml file
Inside values/styles.xml
<style name="Theme.Default" parent="@android:style/Theme"></style>
<style name="Theme.NoTitle" parent="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"></style>
<style name="Theme.FullScreen" parent="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"></style>

Inside values-v11/styles.xml
<style name="Theme.Default" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo"></style>
<style name="Theme.NoTitle" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar"></style>
<style name="Theme.FullScreen" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.Fullscreen"></style>

Inside values-v14/styles.xml
<style name="Theme.Default" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"></style>
<style name="Theme.NoTitle" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar"></style>
<style name="Theme.FullScreen" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar.Fullscreen"></style>

In the application tag of the Manifest file I have added an attribute of:

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

2. By Coding

You can archive the same via coding. Here is a corresponding snippet
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    // hide titlebar of application
    // must be before setting the layout
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    // hide statusbar of Android
    // could also be done later
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText01);


}
