Answer 1

I solved the issue by setting in "View Options" the "Show System UI" option:

Answer 2

Check your style.xml file under res->values->style.xml

The style theme will be as followes:

<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>

You need to check if the parent has the value Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar . It should not have something like Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar where app`s your title will not be visible as there is no action bar itself.

Answer 3

Another Way if you want to view temporarly to see your app name select theme with name contain ActionBar like DarkActionBar you can get the desired results.

Answer 5

The problem can occur when you use too long app name. Try making the app name shorter. I had the same issue and that was my problem.
