Question

I’m beginning to learn Android Development and I have a bar at the top of my app, containing the title of the activity and the app icon. I want to know how to edit it (change the text, background color, etc), and remove it ? I also want to know how to edit the title of my app, because it’s currently the name of its main activity…

Thanks a lot.

Edit your AndroidManifest.xml

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/icon"
    android:label="@string/app_label" 
>
...
    <activity
        android:name="foo.MyActivity"
        android:label="@string/activity_label" >
    </activity>
</application>

If you don’t want any titlebar, add the attribute:

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

To the application tag.
