617 PointsNo, it disappears after I change the Action bar in public class MainListActivity extends ListActivity

Courses Plus Student 7,304 PointsI encountered this also, seems to be a caveat of extending the ListActivity. Are you using android studio? I find the blank Activity preset extends an ActionBarActivity rather than an Activity, so when changing the extension from ActionBarActivity, to ListActivity it removes the action bar from the layout altogether... Some clarification on this issue from an Admin would be handy...

11,602 PointsDid you try to Build Clean Project and then Build Make Project? Maybe when we were told to get rid of the action bar in the previous video you either never added it back or if you did and the change did not update?
