I set the them to AppTheme.NoActionBar but for some reason there is still an action bar when I run the emulator.

I have tried cleaning and rebuilding the project, searched online and still can't figure out why the action bar is still showing up. Is there something else I need to do? I have the repository on github for the project https://github.com/lancekrogers/Android-Tutorial-2

maybe I missed a step or something

Ok I fixed it. I had to delete this from activity_main.xml ```XML

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" /> 

  ```

and this from the onCreate method in MainActivity.java

  ```Java

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

Does the code I provided work? Be sure to change it to that in your manifest file.
