How to modify the activity label?

Activity Label tag Hi There. This question might have been answered before but i couldn't find any clear directions. I am new to android and currently learning the basics.

I am trying to change the activity label tag but somehow i couldn't find a way to do so. I have created multi screen app and would like to change each screen label as per the category. My apologies if my question is not clear.

Thank you

You can write it in your activity onCreate:

setTitle("Your Title");

Or do it in AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:label="Your Title" >
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

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

The title setting mechanism will depend on your layout structure and the kind of AppBar/Toolbar you are using.

If you are using CoordinatorLayout with a nested CollapsingToolbarLayout, the you'll have to call setTitle() on the CollapsingToolbarLayout instance.

If you are using an AppCompatActivity you can change the title by calling:

getSupportActionBar().setTitle("New Title");

If you are using a custom Toolbar element inside your layout, you'll have to set set your title on a Toolbar, then set the Toolbar as Activity's ActionBar like so:

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
toolbar.setTitle("New toolbar Title");
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

Note: you'll have to call setSupportActionBar(toolbar); AFTER you set the title.

You can change the title of activities by calling setTitle():

setTitle("My Title")

Typically, 

setTitle("myTitle");

should work.

In some cases, though, you may need to call

getSupportActionBar().setTitle("myTitle");

This may be necessary depending on how you designed your activity.
