    copied!<p>In the application I am working with an <code>ActionBar Sherlock</code>. The error I am getting seems to be very strange as I am using the same theme for 2 other activities in the application.</p> <p><strong>Manifest:</strong></p> <pre><code> &lt;activity android:name=".ABC" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/transTheme" &gt; &lt;intent-filter &gt; &lt;action android:name="com.example.ABC"/&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; &lt;activity android:name=".XYZ" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/transTheme" &gt; &lt;intent-filter &gt; &lt;action android:name="com.example.XYZ"/&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; &lt;activity android:name=".123" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/transTheme" &gt; &lt;intent-filter &gt; &lt;action android:name="com.example.123"/&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>Style:</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;!-- Transparent Layout Themeing --&gt; &lt;style name="transTheme" parent="android:style/Theme.Translucent"&gt; &lt;item name ="android:windowNoTitle"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name ="android:windowContentOverlay"&gt;@null&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name ="android:backgroundDimEnabled"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name ="android:background"&gt;@android:color/transparent&lt;/item&gt; &lt;/style&gt; </code></pre> <p>As in the manifest file, activities ABC and XYZ work without errors.
