I'm creating an app, and when I build it and start it on my phone (a Sony Xperia Z1 with Android 4.4.4), the title bar doesn't show. All activities is rendered without the title bar, like this:

I'm using Android Studio, and in the editor, the title bar is visible. It just don't work when the app is being ran.

All help with this is appreciated!
