The app I was working on so far was working fine until I added a couple of new activities and tried applied some changes to the theme.
The following is my styles.xml file. I looked into other results and added a parent to AppTheme as I was getting an error regarding AppCompat earlier. I also made AppTheme parent of NoActionBar. One thing I noticed was when I apply AppBarOverlay to Register User Activity it crashes and when I apply other it doesn't. Main Activity is crashing regardless.
<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" parent ="AppTheme">
<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>
Below is the Android Manifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.ati.activate">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/footprintblue"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@drawable/footprintgreen"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
android:supportsRtl="true">
<activity android:name=".UserManagement.LoginActivity"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".UserManagement.RegisterUserActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
I have applied AppTheme to android and then overridden the desired themes to other activities. Note: Login screen works and is using AppTheme.NoTitleBar, Register User works without AppBarOverLay theme but crashes when this theme is used.
This is my activity_main.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/main_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context="com.ati.activate.MainActivity">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="@+id/appbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/appbar_padding_top"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<!--android:paddingTop="@dimen/appbar_padding_top"-->
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="@+id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/login_background" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="@+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />
And this is the snippet of my MainActivity.Java file:
import android.support.design.widget.TabLayout;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import com.ati.activate.Fragments.SettingsFragment.AppSettingsFragment;
import com.ati.activate.Fragments.SettingsFragment.ProfileSettingsFragment;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{
private AppPagerAdapter mAppPagerAdapter;
private ViewPager mViewPager;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
createMenu();
}
I have tried every solution discussed on the internet but still have not found any solution. Could anyone please help? Thanking you in advance.

It works with the following changes to the code:
<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:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>
