Android- ActionBar hidden in emulator but showing in XML layout

I used getSupportActionBar().hide(); The result is as expected, action bar hidden during app testing but in XML design view its still visible and thats a problem because i need to visualise how the app looks. Any way i can make it disappear in the XML design view?

That's happening because you are programmatically disabling actionbar, and your IDE doesn't know if it happens or not.

Add this to res/values/style.xml (create one if you don't have one)

<style name="AppThemeNoTitleBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>

and put this under application tag in AndroidManifest.xml

android:theme="@style/AppThemeNoTitleBar"

so from the scratch (assuming you don't have anything, it should look like this.

res/values/style.xml

<resources>
    <style name="AppThemeNoTitleBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    </style>
</resources>

AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.myapp" >

    <application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppThemeNoTitleBar" >
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

I think you have theme for your activity in your manifest. if you remove your theme that contains the actionbar, problem is solved.
