<activity android:name=".AddNewClass"
android:theme = "#style/myTheme"
android:supportsRtl="true" <==== DONT WORK
android:label="اضافه کردن کلاس">
</activity>
</application> </manifest>

You can't do such thing in Manifest.xml.
I recommend set android:layoutDirection="rtl" into your activity parent layout to set just that specific activity support rtl.
this article has great information about layout directions support.

When you enable support for RTL layouts like this:
<application
...
android:supportsRtl="true">
You enable the use of this feature for every activity in the app.
This suggests that the problem probably lies in the layout of your AppBarLayout/ Toolbar.
In order for the application to properly reflect the direction, you should use the appropriate attributes - instead of using Left/Right, you should use Start/End ones. To read more check Android Developers Blog.
You can also use the automatic Android Studio option by selecting Refactor > Add RTL Support Where Possible...

Android ChipGroup IllegalArgumentException, even though using MaterialComponents theme

I'm using a com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup in an AppCompatActivity, but when I try to make a Chip, I'm getting java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The style on this component requires your app theme to be Theme.MaterialComponents (or a descendant).. I have tried every possible Theme.MaterialComponents theme (yes, even .Bridge), and I'm still getting the error. Somewhere else in the app, I'm also using a chipgroup and making new chips, and everything works fine. What am I missing here?
Relevant in MyActivity:
Chip chip = new Chip(getApplicationContext());
Relevant in MyActivity xml:
<com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup
android:id="#+id/filter_chips"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Don't use application context, use the activity's context. Application context does not have material theme enabled in it.

Android- ActionBar hidden in emulator but showing in XML layout

I used getSupportActionBar().hide(); The result is as expected, action bar hidden during app testing but in XML design view its still visible and thats a problem because i need to visualise how the app looks. Any way i can make it disappear in the XML design view?
That's happening because you are programmatically disabling actionbar, and your IDE doesn't know if it happens or not.
Add this to res/values/style.xml (create one if you don't have one)
<style name="AppThemeNoTitleBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>
and put this under application tag in AndroidManifest.xml
android:theme="#style/AppThemeNoTitleBar"
so from the scratch (assuming you don't have anything, it should look like this.
res/values/style.xml
<resources>
<style name="AppThemeNoTitleBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>
</resources>
AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.myapp" >
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppThemeNoTitleBar" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
I think you have theme for your activity in your manifest. if you remove your theme that contains the actionbar, problem is solved.

ActionBar Styles being ignored, even the icon is missing

I have my activity with an action bar which I want to customize, however Android is ignoring all my styles...
This is how it looks now:
It should look with a blue background instead and the application logo should be there also...
My manifest is the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="greensmartcampus.eu.smartcampususerfeedbackapp">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:logo="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/SmartCampusTheme">
<!-- Splash screen while connecting to the web-server -->
<activity
android:name=".HomeScreen"
android:label="#string/title_activity_home_screen"
android:parentActivityName=".AbstractPortraitActivity">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value="greensmartcampus.eu.smartcampususerfeedbackapp.AbstractPortraitActivity" />
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<!-- The activity where all actions take place -->
<activity
android:name=".ControlActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_control"
android:parentActivityName=".AbstractPortraitActivity">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value="greensmartcampus.eu.smartcampususerfeedbackapp.AbstractPortraitActivity" />
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
My activity xml is the following:
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="greensmartcampus.eu.smartcampususerfeedbackapp.ControlActivity" />
My styles.xml is the following:
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="SmartCampusTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/CustomActionBarTheme</item>
</style>
<style name="GenericProgressIndicator" parent="#android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Small">
<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:indeterminate">true</item>
</style>
<style name="CustomActionBarTheme" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#color/actionbar_bg_color</item>
</style>
</resources>
I also want to hide those 3 dots in the action bar which open the menu to the settings, which I don't have...
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
I believe your issue is related to using the app compatibility library. Try removing the android: prefix from your Actionbar styles. See Styling the Action Bar and appcompat v21.
AppCompat v21 brings the Material theme to all devices. Two changes with this is the use of the new color palette for theming your action bar and activity. In the new system, coloring your action bar is accomplished via a theme such as:
<style name="SmartCampusTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/actionbar_bg_color</item>
</style>
In addition, the lack of the app icon is expected. Per the Toolbar documentation:
In modern Android UIs developers should lean more on a visually distinct color scheme for toolbars than on their application icon. The use of application icon plus title as a standard layout is discouraged on API 21 devices and newer.
The action bar showing a 'Settings' option is part of the initial template - you can delete the onCreateOptionsMenu method to remove all items from the options menu.

custom action bar keeps disappearing when i switch between fragments using the navDrawer

I wanted to add my own custom action bar to the drawer navigation by Google which i have figured out, the problem is, that when I try to open the drawer the Action bar then disappears, along with the icon that allows me to toggle the drawer is also gone for good. it again disappears when i click on my next fragment activity. I also noticed that if i leave the theme of the app back to its default theme everything works fine.
here's my custom theme style class
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<!-- the theme applied to the application or activity -->
<style name="CustomActionBarTheme"
parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<!-- ActionBar styles -->
<style name="MyActionBar"
parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#f0f0</item>
</style>
</resources>
manifest
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.android.navigationdrawerexample"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
When it works i use #android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar for the theme

Logo not showing in getSupportActionBar()

How to show logo/icon in header bar with getSupportActionBar(). I get just show text title.
In manifest i have add below:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:killAfterRestore="false"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:logo="#drawable/icon"
android:theme="#style/mainStyle" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:logo="#drawable/icon"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
In style.xml
<style name="mainStyle" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light">
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="Widget.Styled.ActionBar" parent="Widget.Sherlock.ActionBar">
<item name="background">#drawable/actionbar_background</item>
<item name="android:background">#drawable/actionbar_background</item>
<item name="displayOptions">showTitle|homeAsUp|useLogo</item>
<item name="android:displayOptions">showTitle|homeAsUp|useLogo</item>
</style>
But not showing icon/logo. just showing text app name. what is wrong with my code?
I want to get show logo/icon in beside left appname and if click it go to back or go to home, like as Google Play App.
Thanks very much.
add showHome in displayOption and android:displayOptions it will work
UPDATE :
Simply avoid use displayOption in styles and add getSupportactionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); in activity. It Will also solve your problem.
