In your Activity java import android support v7 widget Toolbar instead of android widget Toolbar   import android app ActionBar  import android support v7 app AppCompatActivity  import android os Bundle  import android view Menu  import android view MenuItem  import android support v7 widget Toolbar    public class rutaActivity extends AppCompactActivity    private Toolbar toolbar   Override protected void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState        super onCreate savedInstanceState       setContentView R layout activity ruta        getSupportActionBar   hide     Ocultar ActivityBar anterior      toolbar    Toolbar  findViewById R id app bar       setSupportActionBar toolbar     NO PROBLEM        Update   If you are using androidx  replace  import android support v7 widget Toolbar  import android support v7 app AppCompatActivity    with newer imports  import androidx appcompat widget Toolbar  import androidx appcompat app AppCompatActivity

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
