Trying to hide the title bar on my Android app

Question

I'm trying to hide the title bar on my app by putting the following code in the manifest file

android:label="Sound Board" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"

It looks to be working on my tablet, but not on my smart phone. My tablet is version 3.1 and the smart phone is 2.2

-Ted

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">. It has worked for me across all smart phones from 2.2 to 4.2 — Srikant Sahay

I am not sure if that theme was available in api level 8 (2.2), but having following code in your Activity will provide the same result:

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

You should actually probably do both. I find that if you dont declare it in XML, you will see it flash up in the start of the activity
