I was using previously this code   Toolbar toolbar    findViewById R id toolbar   setSupportActionBar toolbar     and extended AppCompatActivity also but I was getting the same error  So in place of using Toolbar class  I have imported the below class and it worked for me   android support v7 widget Toolbar

In using toolbar you should extends AppCompatActivity and  import android support v7 widget Toolbar

For adding a ToolBar that supports Material Design  the official documentation directions are probably the best to follow    Add the v7 appcompat support library  Make your activity extend AppCompatActivity   public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity               Declare NoActionBar in the Manifest    lt application     android theme   style Theme AppCompat Light NoActionBar        gt   Add a toolbar to your activity s xml layout    lt android support v7 widget Toolbar    android id    id my toolbar     android theme   style ThemeOverlay AppCompat ActionBar              gt   Call setSupportActionBar in the activity s onCreate    Override protected void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState        super onCreate savedInstanceState       setContentView R layout activity my       Toolbar myToolbar    Toolbar  findViewById R id my toolbar       setSupportActionBar myToolbar        Note  You will have to import the following in the activity   import android support v7 app AppCompatActivity  import android support v7 widget Toolbar
