How to get rid of title bar during app start

When my app starts it shows a title bar with the app icon before the actual layouting of my main activity is being displayed.

How do I get rid of that title bar?

I have a custom title bar (e.g. ActionBar) that I use for my application but this is only setup during the onCreate method of my activity. If I add style NoTitleBar to the Manifest I am getting NullPointerException when accessing using getActionBar in the main activity in order to set my custom action bar. Having

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

in the onCreate method does not help as it comes too late.

  1. In you manifest set the activity theme to Theme.noTitleBar

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

  2. In your activity onCreate method do the following:

    // Apply default theme to your activity.
setTheme(R.style.YourAppTheme);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

// Make sure action bar can be used.
supportRequestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR);

// Optionally, hide action bar from the screen (For example, login screen might have action bar hidden);
// getSupportActionBar().hide();

// Apply your layout here.
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
