Action bar not disappearing.

I did as it was suggested in the video but the action bar isn't disappearing. The code is: <resources>

<!--
    Base application theme, dependent on API level. This theme is replaced
    by AppBaseTheme from res/values-vXX/styles.xml on newer devices.
-->
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!--
        Theme customizations available in newer API levels can go in
        res/values-vXX/styles.xml, while customizations related to
        backward-compatibility can go here.
    -->
</style>


<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
    <!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->
</style>

</resources>

Please help.

Same problem here. I already cleaned and rebuilded the project.

I found the anwser: In FunFactsActivity.java, paste: package com.andrecolares.funfacts;

import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.MenuItem;

public class FunFactsActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_fun_facts);
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_fun_facts, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();

    //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
    if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
        return true;
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

}

In styles.xml, paste:

<resources>

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>

</resources>
