How Can we hide title bar while using action bar?

Question

I\'m using ActionBarSherlock and I\'m trying to hide the title bar of my application but whenever I do that, I get a NullPointerException when accessing the A

Answer 1

I had the same problem. None of these answers worked for me, I still had a glimpse of the Title Bar showing right before Actionbar loaded.

I had to set the Activity theme to NoActionBar in the Manifest:

android:theme="@style/Theme.Sherlock.NoActionBar"

And then set the theme back inside my Activity right before setContentView():

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setTheme(R.style.Theme_Custom);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
}

This still loaded my custom theme and I no longer see a glimpse of the Title bar when activity loads
