Don’t forget about the difference between android:windowActionBar vs windowActionBar in your theme

Android 1 Minute

What is the difference between this piece of code:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>

and this one:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>

The answer is simple. windowActionBar is an attribute provided in AppCompat library, whereas android:windowActionBar is provided in Material theme.

Same applies for all of the other attributes:

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