android 5.1 using custom toolbar. App crash: This Activity already has an action bar supplied by the window decor

Question

I am trying to make a common layout form my multiple activity . This commone layout is having drawer layout,custom toolbar and framelayout. The framelayout can be used to host any activity layout.

I am getting error while setting my toolbar i.e setSupportActionBar(toolbar)

Error:

This Activity already has an action bar supplied by the window decor. Do not request Window.FEATURE_SUPPORT_ACTION_BAR and set windowActionBar to false in your theme to use a Toolbar instead.

I already tried setting following but no luck <"windowActionBar">false <"windowNoTitle">true

<--Styling theme code-->

<style name="AppTheme_NoAction" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item
</style>

menifest.xml

<activity> 
  android:name=".UsrOrderHistory_Activity"
  android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
  android:theme="@style/AppTheme_NoAction"
</activity>

style.xml

<style name="AppTheme_NoAction" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

With following lines commented the activity is working fine:

setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);  
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(false);

At this time i dont know the consequences...

Answer 1

Do you have this?

"values/styles.xml, values-v11/styles.xml, and values-v14/styles.xml"

then you change value-v11/styles.xml and vlues-v14/styles.xml.

This Activity already has an action bar supplied by the window decor

Answer 2

You just need to add this line in your values/styles.xml file in main style tag:

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

Answer 3

Go to your styles res/values/styles and change AppTheme's parent to <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"> and then design you toolbar like this......

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    android:elevation="6dp"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
    app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">

EDIT Make sure that setContentView(R.layout.drawer_toolbar_layout) points to the layout which contains common_toolbar. Because in your layout, toolbar id is toolbar_id. Clean all your styling and just edit a parent theme.
