ActionBar Android Studio 1.4

I'm trying to remove Action Bar, but it's still there. That's what I have in styles.xml:

<resources>

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
    <style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    </style>
    <style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
    <style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />

</resources>

Hey Alexander!

Things have changed in Android recently and now instead of the Action Bar, we have the Toolbar.

I'll happily help you remove either of these (Depending on how your project was set up determines which was used in your project).

Could you please provide your AndroidManifest.xml file so that I can check styles there and also your activity file(s) (Toolbars are actually created in the XML code).

Speak to you soon! :)
