Hide Android action bar?

How can I hide the Android action bar on certain activities such as a splash screen? I've tried changing the theme, but it changes the whole applications theme. Also leading me to some place that could help me would be great.

On the latest version of documentation I found this for Android Kotlin:

private fun hideSystemBars() {
  val windowInsetsController =
      ViewCompat.getWindowInsetsController(window.decorView) ?: return
  // Configure the behavior of the hidden system bars
  windowInsetsController.systemBarsBehavior =
      WindowInsetsControllerCompat.BEHAVIOR_SHOW_TRANSIENT_BARS_BY_SWIPE
  // Hide both the status bar and the navigation bar
  windowInsetsController.hide(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.systemBars())
}

Simple way is to add @android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar to your activity in AndroidManifest.xml file

<activity
        android:name="com.package.Activity"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar" >

or you can add this line in your Activity onCreate function

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE)

there also third way to do that, it's like the first one but instead of using predefine theme you can create your own custom theme and use it

in style.xml something like this

<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light">
   <!-- this style parent may change by any defined theme you want -->
</style>
<style name="NoActionBarTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
        <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

and use your theme in AndroidManifest.xml

<activity
        android:name="com.package.Activity"
        android:theme="@style/NoActionBarTheme" >

In onCreate of your activity add this line before setContentView(....):

this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

Put the NoActionbar derived theme on the activity not the application in the manifest file
