Android app name not being displayed

Question

My Android app is not displaying the application name \"app_name\", instead its displaying the activity name \"title\". This is from my manifest file;

   <         


        

Answer 1

you need

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {.....}

if you can't extend AppCompatActivity, then you can alternatively add the last line of the code below to show a title in the bar..

   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    toolbar.setTitle("the name i want to appear");
