How to hide the title bar for main Activity?

I want to remove or hide title bar on top of my app, but only on main Activity, I have 2 more sub activity with navigation bar and blank activity, here is my AndroidManifest.xml

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true">

    <activity
        android:name=".StartingScreen"
        android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <activity
        android:name=".AccommodationScreenWithNav"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_accommodation_screen_with_nav"
        android:parentActivityName=".StartingScreen">
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
            android:value="com.mydomain.test.StartingScreen" />
    </activity>

    <activity
        android:name=".AccommodationDetail"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_accommodation_detail"
        android:parentActivityName=".AccommodationScreenWithNav">
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
            android:value="com.mydomain.test.AccommodationScreenWithNav" />
    </activity>

</application>

So, I want remove or hide only for main activity not for .AccommodationDetail

In your platform/android/res/values/styles.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="Theme.MyTheme" parent="@style/_MyTheme"/>
    <style name="_MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
</resources>

In your AndroidManifest.xml

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

Before setcontentview add these two lines in your Activity onCreate() method.

this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,   WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);//hide notification bar

For API Level 11+ devices, you can use:

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar

Another way to solve this kind of problem is to create your own style in style.xml file and set it to a specific activity like Android Activity in AndroidManifest.xml file.

Open your style.xml file, create a new style just like below. Choose your own name and set the parent as below

<style name="your_own_name" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
</style>

Open your's project AndroidManifest.xml file, set the theme name for the specific activity you dont want the bar to show and you are done

<activity  android:theme ="@style/your_own_name" >
</activity>

Any questions? Please free to ask.

Set your theme for your main activity to Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar, and set your theme for your application to Theme.AppCompat.Light. If a theme is not explicitly set for an activity, it'll use the theme defined in the application tag.
