Answer 1

Make sure that your theme is child from Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar, then in styles.xml:

<style name="MyMaterialTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        ...
</style>

Btw, it's a new issue for Support Library 22.1.

Answer 2

Use this parent in Style.xml parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"

Answer 3

In my case, I look for @rewrihitesh answer, and I notice that I inverted elements order. Changing from

setContentView(R.layout.activity_test);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

to

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_test);

Fix my problem.

Hope it helps !!

Answer 4

Check if you call setContentView() after super.onCreate(), and not before. This helped in my case.

Answer 5

I had the same problem when I upgraded the library version from 22.0.0 to 22.1.1 and fixed it by dropping back to the previous version: com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0 and go back to using ActionBarActivity, not AppCompatActivity in my Activity classes as required by the newer version of the compatibility library. I'll try again later.

Answer 6

Make sure that

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

are at the top of everything this works for me....good luck
