in onCreate() method or if you are using fragment you need to put getActivity.getActionBar().setTitle(title); – Kastriot Dreshaj Dec 12 '14 at 12:15

If you want change the title at compile time you have to use android:label for each Activity on your AndroidManifest.xml. But if you want to change the title at runtime then you have to use getActionBar().setTitle("title");.
