How to hide the title bar for an Activity in XML with existing custom theme

Question

I want to hide the titlebar for some of my activities. The problem is that I applied a style to all my activities, therefore I can\'t simply set the theme to @android:

Answer 1

Do this in your onCreate() method.

//Remove title bar
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

//Remove notification bar
this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

//set content view AFTER ABOVE sequence (to avoid crash)
this.setContentView(R.layout.your_layout_name_here); 

this refers to the Activity.
