Disappearing action Bar in a Dialog Activity
<p>I am using an activity to work as a dialog box. However, the actionBar on the dialog activity is not disappearing. I have tried using:</p>

<pre><code>protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.supportRequestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_dialog);

}
</code></pre>

<p>It Doesn't work. I also set the theme of the app (from the manifest) to be as following:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;activity
        android:name=".DialogActivity"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_dialog"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog.Alert" &gt;
    &lt;/activity&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Following is the Screen shot is of what I am getting and I am aiming to remove this pointless white bar which is hiding the text.
