How to disable / remove Android activity shortcut and label bar?

Question

Is there a way to remove the activity shortcut and the shortcut itself, which is set by default to the application label? I would like to have the entire layout from my design and must remove the shortcut bar and shortcut that is in the TOP layout.

Answer 1

You can achieve this by setting the android:theme attribute in @android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar to your <activity> element in your AndroidManifest.xml as follows:

 <activity android:name=".Activity" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> 

Answer 2

I am not 100% sure, this is what you want, but if you are accessing the title bar (a small gray bar at the top), you can remove / configure it through the manifest.xml file ...

 <activity android:name=".activities.Main" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"> 

Answer 3

 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); //set up notitle requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); //set up full screen getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); setContentView(R.layout.main); } 

Answer 4

If your application theme is AppTheme (or something else), then add the following code in styles.xml:

 <style name="HiddenTitleTheme" parent="AppTheme"> <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item> <item name="windowActionBar">false</item> </style> 

Then, in the manifest file, add the following to the activity tag for which you want to disable the activity shortcut:

 android:theme="@style/HiddenTitleTheme" 

Answer 5

There is code here that does this.

The trick is in this line:

  title.setVisibility(View.GONE); 

Answer 6

There is also a drop-down menu in the eclipse graphic layout window. some of the topics on this menu will have a ".NoTitleBar" at the end. any of them will do the trick.

Answer 7

In my case, the remaining answers were not enough ...

 <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"> <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item> <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item> </style> <application android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > </application> 

Tested on Android 4.0.3 API 15.

Answer 8

Whenever I do rake run: android,

my Androidmenifest.xml file is built up again, so my changes are done

for NoTitlebar is no longer saved.

Instead of user adroid_title: 0

It helped me.

edit the build.yml file

 android:
   android_title: 0
   #rest of things 
   #you needed 

Answer 9

This.

 android:theme="@style/android:Theme.NoTitleBar" 

Answer 10

You have two ways to hide the title bar by hiding it in a specific action or by hiding all actions in your application.

This can be done by creating a custom theme in styles.xml .

 <resources> <style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"> <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item> <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item> <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item> </style> </resources> 

If you use AppCompatActivity , there are many themes that Android currently supports. And if you choose a theme with .NoActionBar or .NoTitleBar . It will disable your action bar for your theme.

After setting up a custom theme, you can use the theme in your activities / actions. Go to the manifest and select the action on which you want to install the theme.

SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES

AndroidManifest.xml

 <application android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name"> <activity android:name=".FirstActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/MyTheme"> </activity> </application> 

Please note that I installed the FirstActivity theme in MyTheme custom theme. Thus, the topic will be affected only by certain activities. If you do not want to hide the toolbar for all your activities, try this approach.

The second approach is where you set the topic for all your activities.

ALL ACTIVITIES

 <application android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/MyTheme"> <activity android:name=".FirstActivity" android:label="@string/app_name"> </activity> </application> 

Please note that I have installed the application theme in the custom MyTheme theme. Thus, the topic will be affected only in all activities. If you want to hide the toolbar for all your activities, then try using this approach.

Answer 11

using the toolbar you can solve this problem. use the setTitle method.

  Toolbar mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); mToolbar.setTitle(""); setSupportActionBar(mToolbar); 

super easy :)

Answer 12

you can use this in your activity tag in AndroidManifest.xml to hide the shortcut

 android:label=""
