Xamarin remove app title

I'm struggling with the dumbest thing (I guess I'm just not used to the Xamarin Designer).

How can I remove the title of my app ? It keeps showing up but it is not in my Layout Source.

I want to remove this whole part but can't figure out how.
In C# Winforms or WPF I would have selected the whole window or screen and then accessed the main window properties but in this case, I can only select the controls I added (buttons and labels) and not the whole screen or the title.

enter image description here

You can achieve that by create custom style:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppTheme.Base"/>

    <style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

         <!-- colorPrimary is used for the default action bar background -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>

        <!-- colorPrimaryDark is used for the status bar -->
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>

        <!-- colorAccent is used as the default value for colorControlActivated,
             which is used to tint widgets -->
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

And here how you can use it in your activity:

  [Activity(Label = "ActivityLabel", Theme = "@style/AppTheme")]

It works in the latest versions

Just add this to app style (Resources/values/styles.xml):

<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>

Should look like:

<resources>
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    </style>
</resources>

[2021] You can set the theme as following:

[Activity(Label = "@string/app_name", Theme = "@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar", MainLauncher = true)]

To remove the title bar, I just changed the "Style.xml" file:

Add this line in below other items:

<item name="windowNotitle">true</item>

This will remove the title bar from the "AppTheme", you can also create a custom theme next to it in and set it in your activity.

SupportActionBar.Hide(); worked to hide the entire title bar for me.

In my case I dont't need any Title, I just want an ActionBar with some Tabs so I wrote:

RequestWindowFeature(Android.Views.WindowFeatures.ActionBar);

And after SetContentView:

ActionBar.Title = "";

The option which to me seems the simplest is to edit the Activity attribute and use a default style (rather than a custom one, as suggested by Mina Fawzy):

[Activity(Theme = "@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.NoActionBar", ...)]

If you want to remove the status bar too then use

[Activity(Theme = "@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.NoActionBar.Fullscreen", ...)]

Lots of expectable answers!

However, just in case if it's still not working because let's say you're setting custom views. Try ActionBar.Title = null;

Don't change it in Title theme, it will accept previous version ui. After OnCreate 

   protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
   {
        base.OnCreate(bundle); //
        Window.RequestFeature(WindowFeatures.NoTitle); //This will Hide the title Bar
   }

Alternatively, you could add

 NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(this, false);

to your constructor

As far as I remember, in your Activity Class you have to remove the Attribute label there so that it won't have a title. I currently don't have Xamarin with me right now but I'm pretty sure there is an attribute above the class name that sets the Title.

UPDATE from phadaphunk:

Remove android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" from the manifest file will completely remove the title

UPDATE

NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(this, false);

At the time I wrote the answer, the best answers that are given now are available to the framework. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't remember those API being available at the time of this writing.

NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(this, false);

Is the best method.

Write this in the OnCreate method just after SetContentView:

ActionBar.Hide();
