Description

Steps to Reproduce

Create an Android Application and use method 2 of this guide http://www.appcelerator.com/blog/2014/08/hiding-the-android-actionbar/. If you compile with SDK 3.5.1.GA all works fine, if you compile with SDK 4.0.0.Beta2 ActionBar is still present I'm attaching two screenshots of the same app compiled with both version. In the screenshots you can see Android Action Bar in BLACK and the RED one is a widget. This is the Custome Theme used:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<resources>
    <style name='Theme.NoActionBar' parent='@style/Theme.AppCompat'>
        <item name='android:windowActionBar'>false</item>
        <item name='android:windowNoTitle'>true</item>
    </style>
</resources>

This is the Android Manifest (used by TiApp.xml)

<android xmlns:android='http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android'>
        <manifest android:installLocation='auto' android:versionCode='1' android:versionName='1.0.0'>
            <supports-screens android:anyDensity='true'
                android:largeScreens='true' android:normalScreens='true'
                android:smallScreens='false' android:xlargeScreens='true'/>
            <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion='14' android:targetSdkVersion='21'/>
            <application android:hardwareAccelerated='true'
                android:largeHeap='true' android:theme='@style/Theme.NoActionBar'>
                <activity
                    android:configChanges='keyboardHidden|orientation'
                    android:name='org.appcelerator.titanium.TiActivity'
                    android:screenOrientation='portrait' android:windowSoftInputMode='stateHidden'/>
                <activity
                    android:configChanges='keyboardHidden|orientation'
                    android:name='org.appcelerator.titanium.TiModalActivity'
                    android:screenOrientation='portrait' android:windowSoftInputMode='stateHidden'/>
                <activity
                    android:configChanges='keyboardHidden|orientation'
                    android:name='org.appcelerator.titanium.TiTranslucentActivity'
                    android:screenOrientation='portrait' android:windowSoftInputMode='stateHidden'/>
            </application>
        </manifest>
    </android>

Actual Result

Expected Result

Hi Michele, I was not able to reproduce the issue with 4.0.0.RC version, can you please check once again on your end. I had also tried with actionbar hide method. Just works fine here.

Hi. I just tried using 4.0.0 RC but the action bar is still there :(
Hieu Pham 2015-04-27

Michele, could you zip and attach your sample project to this ticket? I tested it with 4.0.0.RC and it works fine for me (The title bar was hidden correctly). Thanks.
Michele Riso 2015-04-28

Hi. I created a new Project. You can download it from this link [link TEST PROJECT 2](http://www.filedropper.com/testproject2) Please change GUID, APP ID on TIAPP.XML before compile it I tested with 3.5.1.GA and 4.0.0.RC Just a question: how to attach a file to a comment? :)

Hieu Pham 2015-04-28

Hi Michele, in 4.0.0 we update appcompat to version 21. It looks like "android:windowActionBar" keyword isn't working with the latest appCompat library. Please use "windowActionBar" instead. This is the theme your project has:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <resources>
       <style name="Theme.NoActionBar" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat">
           <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
           <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
       </style>
   </resources>

This is what you need:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <resources>
       <style name="Theme.NoActionBar" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat">
           <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
           <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
       </style>
   </resources>

FYI, to attach a file, go to More -> Attach File
