How to change title of Activity in Android?

Question

I am using

Window w = getWindow();
w.setTitle(\"My title\");

to change title of my current Activity but it does not seem to work.

Answer 1

There's a faster way, just use

YourActivity.setTitle("New Title");

You can also find it inside the onCreate() with this, for example:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        this.setTitle("My Title");
    }

By the way, what you simply cannot do is call setTitle() in a static way without passing any Activity object.
