<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

</style>

<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />

I think you was asking about ActionBar

from docs

A primary toolbar within the activity that may display the activity title, application-level navigation affordances, and other interactive items.

Beginning with Android 3.0 (API level 11), the action bar appears at the top of an activity's window when the activity uses the system's Holo theme (or one of its descendant themes), which is the default. You may otherwise add the action bar by calling requestFeature(FEATURE_ACTION_BAR) or by declaring it in a custom theme with the windowActionBar property.

If you want to change it from java code, write in

Activity.java

ActionBar ab = getActionBar();
ab.setTitle("My new title");

Or, in the Androidmanifest.xml file:

<activity 
       android:name=".MyActivity" 
       android:icon="@drawable/my_icon" 
       android:label="My new title" />

hope my answer help you..

Set your App theme to Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar in style.xml

For e.g.

 <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>
