My class extends a ListActivity, I would like to have a title bar just as “Sound settings” in the following image;

What would be the proper way to create such title.

Thank you for your time.

Creating custom layout can solve this problem.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
<LinearLayout  
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
  android:layout_width="match_parent"  
  android:layout_height="match_parent">  
  android:orientation="vertical"  
    <TextView android:id="@+id/textViewCategoriesTitle"  
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
              android:text="@string/categoriesTitle"  
              android:background="#123"  
              android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"  
              android:textSize="30sp" />  

    <ListView android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
              android:id="@+id/listViewCategories"  
              android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal" />  

</LinearLayout>  

Hope this can help.
