I am so close. I have the android studio project set up correctly with libs, the project compiles, and the emulators and device run the app. I am trying to get rid of the bottom button popup menu of older devices and replace with v7 appcompat toolbar. The old action bar is gone but the menu inflate still inflates to the old popup menu.
I start off using a splashscreen then the app main shows the database view activity. This means I have to dynamically load the toolbar.
My thinking now is the only place I have left to work out is the styles/themes or the order of setcontent(this) to display the main app/database view screen.
Also I dont have the correct emulator for the HTC evo device so the device buttons dont show. I believe this is why alot of developers post that the toolbar doesnt show. When I install apk on real device i can the use the menu button. This is how I am able to see that the menu is not in the toolbar. The emulator shows no buttons plus no toolbar so a developer on an emulator of newer devices would never see this.
I hope this enough to go on for any one to catch my pitfall here.
Thanks in advance.
Here are codes snippets:

I have maybe the answer : you just get your toolbar before setContentView() method...
Just try this :
setContentView(new TableMainLayout(this));
Toolbar LrToolBar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(LrToolBar);
//getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
//LrToolBar.setNavigationContentDescription(getResources().getString(R.string.app_name));
Hope it will help you
Make your Toolbar layout like thie:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:background="#2196f3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:elevation="4dp"
android:minHeight="200dp" />
and in your Activity code replace the Toolbar LrToolBar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); with the:
Toolbar toolbar = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.toolbar_layout_name, null)
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
Hope it works.
Try this:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item> //see this line
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
Try setting <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
I hope this helps!

I'm trying to have my toolbar at the bottom. I already tried some tips but the toolbar rests at the top.
So: What do I have to change so my toolbar appears at the bottom?
If you need more code - there isn't much more - or other informations, just say so.
My XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MapsActivity">
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

And the .java:

}
#Override

// Add a marker in Sydney and move the camera
LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-34, 151);

You can use Relative layout like this,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/toolbar"
tools:context="com.example.testingmapingmarker23.MapsActivity"
/>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>
</RelativeLayout>
First of all you need to Add navigationToolBar instead of ToolBar
try this Link
See This
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
app:itemIconTint="#color/nav_item_state_list"
app:itemTextColor="#color/nav_item_state_list"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_navigation_items"/>

Hope this helps, From your code did not found any issue.
There might be other issue ---
The on-screen overflow menu button only appears in the action bar on devices that lack an off-screen MENU button. Try pressing the MENU button on your device or emulator.
please read this Menu Button - Missing answer.
Your menu is set to never show
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="#string/action_settings"
android:orderInCategory="100"
app:showAsAction="never" />
Change last line there to "always"
i am trying to make a mini-game program and i cant get the title bar to go away i have already tried the following getActionBar().hide(); , requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); here is what i have so far.

Add this style to your styles.xml:

<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
</style>
You can also add :
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
to your v21 style.
Change your androidmanifest.xml to use the style:
<activity
android:name="MainActivity"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.Fullscreen"/>
see About the Full Screen And No Titlebar from manifest
add
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
to your activity or application in the manifest
and change
"extends AppCompatActivity"
to
"extends Activity"
I have been through all the posts here and the suggested solutions but nothing worked for me.I have already spent 2 days and on the verge of giving up Android.

}
You dont need to check if (toolbar != null), it always must be not null.
You dont need to set id to include layout <include layout="#layout/toolbar"/>. And you can calling R.id.toolbar.
You better use vertical orientation LinearLayout instead of RelativeLayout in your activity layout.
You better extends AppCompatActivity
I'm trying to use android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat to create a switch in minimum SDK of 10 and I'm getting the error android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #9: Error inflating class android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat In looking for solutions, I've found that it may have something to do with which style is declared? So I've changed the style to Theme.AppCompat but I'm still getting the error that it can't inflate. I'm fairly certain that I've got the correct support library added (I'm using Eclipse Kepler) because there are no errors at import android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat;. So here's all the relevant code, can anyone see where the problem is?

The problem is your Activity is extending android.app.Activity, and not the support Activity you need to use with the AppCompat libraries. Just change:
import android.app.Activity;
to
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
Or, since I think that's been deprecated in API 22:
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
Once you change those it should work.
