Developing android applications with Eclipse, removing header from layout

I'm learning how to develop android applications through a book from the for dummies (you can take that literally) series using Eclipse.

I have created a few layouts now using linerlayouts, scrollviews, ... and each time I show the Graphical layout in Eclipse or run the application in the Emulator, in the top of the screen the application icon, application name and a blue line beneath it are displayed. I have no idea how they get there (they don't seem to be declared anywhere in the xml file) and how to get rid of them.

I have been searching for "remove header" and stuff like that but that doesn't seem to get me any closer to finding a solution.

Thanks

In your Activity under onCreate() use:

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

This will create a "full screen" effect.

You can do it using XML in your AndroidManifest.xml file in the activity element:

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

Or with code:

requestWindowFeature( Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE );
