How to remove app title from toolbar?

Question

I can't figure out how to remove my title. I've used the code below in my MainActivity but after I added that line, my app crashes.

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);

Here is how my MainActivity looks:

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

Full code:

 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        setTheme(R.style.CustomTheme);

Please post your full code of `MainActivity`'s `onCreate` method. — romtsn, Jun 28 '15 at 05:04
`getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);` actually solved my issue. I needed to set a title so that the app would show up in the recent apps list so `android:label=""` was not an option. — Eric B., Oct 14 '16 at 21:23

Try this,

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
        //toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_toolbar);
        toolbar.setTitle("");
        toolbar.setSubtitle("");
        //toolbar.setLogo(R.drawable.ic_toolbar);

If still doesn't works just use setNavigationIcon() & setLogo() and that should replace the title. If you are facing any crashes please post the crash report.

how do you center the logo you set? – Lion789 Mar 22 '16 at 05:19
@Lion789 try this, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26533510/android-toolbar-center-title-and-custom-font – Prokash Sarkar Mar 22 '16 at 05:33
I did, the problem with that is that it looks at the space available, I need it to ignore that, because when I have two icons the space available is not going to allow me to center the imageview properly – Lion789 Mar 22 '16 at 05:57

This did not worked for me. Setting `android:label=""` in Activity tag of Manifest worked. – AnujDeo Nov 21 '17 at 11:18

You can use toolbar.setTitle(""); Or you can simply set the android:label="" for your Activity in the AndroidManifest.xml

Using `android:label=""` is not a good idea. If you have an `` on that Activity to allow users to open your app by clicking a URL (for example), the disambiguation dialog will not have any title! – Albert Vila Calvo Jun 06 '16 at 09:08

This is my gradle:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.zumoappname"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }

and this is my activity:

 public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
 .....

The following code works very nice for me:

Toolbar myToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_toolbar);
myToolbar.setTitle("");
setSupportActionBar(myToolbar);

Add this line to your AppTheme in styles.xml:

<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>

Check your styles.xml

Change your theme to .NoActionBar

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

Hope it helps....
