Please help resolve this error the error is related to themes but i am not getting it

Answer 1

Your action bar is null and so you are trying to setTitle() on a null object.

1. What is in the theme are you using? "<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">" ?

2. setSupportActionBar(toolbar); put a break point here, is toolbar null?

Answer 2

this is the theme used along with false true
