AndroidManifest - Set theme for activity

I am really frustrated right now and read a ton - maybe you can help me out. Why is Android Studio still showing me "Main2Activity" with the titlebar?

Here is my Manifest:

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

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:name=".Main2Activity"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar"></activity>
</application>

I know it is really a small issue but I am unable to figure it out...

Android theme not being set

Apply a theme to an activity in Android?

EDIT Current State: enter image description here

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

Is working but disables the ActionBar for every Activity!

Goal: activity_main2 should not have an ActionBar.

SOLVED It is just a bug from Android Studio. In the Preview it won't disable the AppBar but as soon as you play the App on your phones it works!

To Hide the Action Bar add the below code in Values/Styles

<style name="CustomActivityThemeNoTitle" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light">
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

Then in your AndroidManifest.xml file add the below code in the required activity:

<activity android:name=".Main2Activity"
    android:theme="@style/CustomActivityThemeNoTitle"></activity>

Alternatively, you can call this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); in the onCreate method for your activity. For example:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_signup);
    ...
}

Try this

<style name="generalnotitle" parent="general">
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
