if your using AppCompatActivity try extending Activity instead of AppCompatActivity

public class ActivityName extends Activity

then change the theme in values/styles.xml file:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

to

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material">

these should be compatible together.

but it requires min API level 21. I hope this helps.

check your styles.xml like below

<style name="MyMaterialTheme" parent="MyMaterialTheme.Base">

</style>

<style name="MyMaterialTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>

    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>

I got the same problem as well and after a couple of hour of study i came up with this sollution

Before i had this this

<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>
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/colorTextPrimary</item>
    <item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/colorTextSecondary</item>
</style>

<style name="AppTheme.FullScreen" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
</style>

According to the documentation they are doing many changes in the new release hence they made strict on later version in appcompat. I change the the parent theme and it works fine , use the below code.

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<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="android:textColorPrimary">@color/colorTextPrimary</item>
    <item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/colorTextSecondary</item>
</style>

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

thanks
