Android Studio 1.5 create new activity with actionbar collapsed

Question

Just updated my android studio today to 1.5.1 and decide to create new project. I created new Blank Activity, the one with floating action bar inside it. I didn't even touch the code, then hit run on my device (asus zenfone 4).

Then I realize my actionbar didn't work well. It is collapsed. Is this a bug with my device? Or am I missing some editing my style.xml?

This is my styles.xml, it is fresh from the android studio's oven.

<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"/>

    <style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>

</resources>

And this is my activity declaration on manifest

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

and this is actually what android studio give me as onCreate method

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
    FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
    fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                .setAction("Action", null).show();
    }
});

`android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">` change this to `android:theme="@style/AppTheme">` — Amar Agrawal, Dec 10 '15 at 09:36

if you wish not to show actionBar in next activity in your NextActivity.java in onCreate add this code:

 android.support.v7.app.ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
 actionBar.hide();

this way you don't risk any typo errors in xml which could make that your app crashes
