I changed the code for the theme but the top bar is still there. Also it now will not run on the emulator.

Its alright, I read the log and apparently I can not have android:theme , so I just used an app:theme that was the same layout. I don't understand however why it said this activity couldn't have an "android:theme" layout tho.

Thanks again,

I had the same problem. Go to FunFactsActivity.java, and change it to

```public class FunFactsActivity extends Activity {

For some reason, AndroidStudio had it as ActionBarActivity, which could only use AppCompat themes.
