Error: ToolBar theme and Dark theme

Question

I am using the current style and theme for my toolbar and using a support library. I am extending AppCompatActivity rather than the normal activity.

I am getting the error and below is the stacktrace,

Application terminated.

Main Activity

The problem occurred when I tried to apply a Dark Theme.parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar" For this attribute how do I know which themes will work and which ones will not ? and what should be done to apply the dark theme which does not give any error ?

Let me know what else code is needed and I will edit the question accordingly.

EDIT 1 As requested in the comments, I have added the Activity onCreate() method

Initialization

 DataBaseHelper dbhelper;
    ListView notesView;
    CustomCursor dataCursor;
    int ROW_NUMBER;
    Cursor passCursor;
    Toolbar bar;



@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        dbhelper = new DataBaseHelper(this);

        passCursor = dbhelper.fetchAllNotes();
        dataCursor = new CustomCursor(this,passCursor);

        notesView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView);
       notesView.setAdapter(dataCursor);
        notesView.setOnItemClickListener(this);

        bar = (Toolbar)findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(bar);

    }
