package com.example.androidcustomtitle;
 
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Window;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
 
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 
 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 
  boolean customTitleSupported = requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
   
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
   
  if(customTitleSupported){
   getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.custom_title);
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
     "Custom Title Applied",
     Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    
   //Set title text programmatically
   TextView titleText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.titletext);
   titleText.setText("Android-Coding");
    
  }else{
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
     "FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE not supported!",
     Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
  }
 
 }
 
}


Also modify AndroidManifest.xml to use style without title features on android:theme; otherwise "android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: You cannot combine custom titles with other title features" will be thrown. "@android:style/Theme.Light" and "@android:style/Theme.Black" have been tested work ok.
