Android Build an Interactive Story App (Retired) User Input Hiding the ActionBar with an App Theme

Image alignment: Can't get it to the top after removing the action bar ..

I am running Android Studio 1.5.1, applied: "Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar" The Action Bar disappeared but the main image stays at the same location instead of filling the gap of the missing action bar.

Thank you :)

It did the trick! By removing these lines: <CODE> <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar android:id="@+id/toolbar" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize" android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" /> </CODE>

For now it's looking good just hope the button and text input underneath will be easily controlled. Will check it.

Thank you for the prompt and great help.

I think I did, it doesn't show at the xml file and I checked the styles.xml in version 21. The theme is updated. The action bar is gone but the picture is not taking its place, there is just a blank space there..

In your layout folder do you have a activity_main and a content_main?

If you haven't done so already, delete this section from activity_main

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />

</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

And this section from your MainActivity Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
