Answer 1

I solved the issue by my main Activity extending AppCompatActivity :)

Answer 2

alternative to @sbaar's answer,

keep windowActionBar to false and add windowNoTitleas well and set it to true.

ie

   <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
   <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>

Answer 4

I had same issue somewhat, removed android: from my syles.xml as per below;

 <!-- caused crash -->
 <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
 <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>

 <!-- didn't cause crash -->
 <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
 <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>

Answer 5

just Use this in your style.xml no other editing is needed

 <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">

<!-- theme customizations -->

<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>

don't add anything in to activity file please leave it

public class Main extends ActionBarActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

 }

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
} 

@Override
 public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
    return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

 }
