The app I was working on so far was working fine until I added a couple of new activities and tried applied some changes to the theme.
The following is my styles.xml file. I looked into other results and added a parent to AppTheme as I was getting an error regarding AppCompat earlier. I also made AppTheme parent of NoActionBar. One thing I noticed was when I apply AppBarOverlay to Register User Activity it crashes and when I apply other it doesn't. Main Activity is crashing regardless.
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar" parent ="AppTheme">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
<style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
</resources>
Below is the Android Manifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.ati.activate">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/footprintblue"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@drawable/footprintgreen"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
android:supportsRtl="true">
<activity android:name=".UserManagement.LoginActivity"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".UserManagement.RegisterUserActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
I have applied AppTheme to android and then overridden the desired themes to other activities. Note: Login screen works and is using AppTheme.NoTitleBar, Register User works without AppBarOverLay theme but crashes when this theme is used.
This is my activity_main.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/main_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context="com.ati.activate.MainActivity">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="@+id/appbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/appbar_padding_top"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<!--android:paddingTop="@dimen/appbar_padding_top"-->
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="@+id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/login_background" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="@+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />
And this is the snippet of my MainActivity.Java file:
import android.support.design.widget.TabLayout;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import com.ati.activate.Fragments.SettingsFragment.AppSettingsFragment;
import com.ati.activate.Fragments.SettingsFragment.ProfileSettingsFragment;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{
private AppPagerAdapter mAppPagerAdapter;
private ViewPager mViewPager;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
createMenu();
}
I have tried every solution discussed on the internet but still have not found any solution. Could anyone please help? Thanking you in advance.

Put this code in your style.xml
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
and don't add parent ="AppTheme" in the above code.
change your manifest file :
<activity android:name=".UserManagement.RegisterUserActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
</activity>
to this :
<activity android:name=".UserManagement.RegisterUserActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
</activity>
i think your RegisterUserActivity problem will be solve...
UPDATE for your MainActivty Chnage style.xml
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
It works with the following changes to the code:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>
