        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        /*FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
        fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                        .setAction("Action", null).show();
            }
        });*/
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_splash, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

Edit : logcat

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.lalinda.splashscreen/com.example.lalinda.splashscreen.Splash}: java.lang.IllegalStateException: This Activity already has an action bar supplied by the window decor. Do not request Window.FEATURE_SUPPORT_ACTION_BAR and set windowActionBar to false in your theme to use a Toolbar instead.

I bet on calling `startActivity()` or `finish()` on non UI thread ... or NPE in `Splash.onCreate` — Selvin, Aug 09 '16 at 14:41
I'm pretty sure I know what your problem is, but please show a stack trace — Logan Rodie, Aug 09 '16 at 14:46
@Selvin Reviewed that answer, but cannot find what the problem is. That's why I'm posting this. — ONE_FE, Aug 09 '16 at 14:48
use something like new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { Intent i = new Intent(SplashScr.this, Splash.class); startActivity(i); finish(); } }, 10000); — Habel Philip, Aug 09 '16 at 14:48
so you wana use `setSupportActionBar` with `NoActionBar` theme ... interesting — Selvin, Aug 09 '16 at 14:51

You need to remove the ActionBar, before setting a toolbar. Set your app theme something like:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
    <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

Like @Habel Philip mentioned in his comment above, use a Handler to show the Splash screen for a limited time. In fact, I would suggest against using a Splash screen in the first place. This is the recommended pattern now (Launch Screen Pattern): https://www.bignerdranch.com/blog/splash-screens-the-right-way/

*You need to remove the ActionBar, before setting a toolbar* ... what a bs ... 1. he is using AppCompat so deriving style from `@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light` oviously will not help ... 2. he is using `setSupportActionBar` then obviously deriving theme from `@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light` will cause another problem ... **obviously using `setSupportActionBar` with `NoActionBar` theme is mutually exclusive** – Selvin Aug 09 '16 at 14:55
@Selvin Chill...1. I didn't give him a supplement code...thats why my text reads Set your app theme **something like**, I was giving him an indication.. 2. Even the error message reads "...set windowActionBar to false in your theme to use a Toolbar instead."...3 I don't understand whats your problem with setting `android:windowActionBar` false and calling `setSupportActionBar()` simultaneously. – Shaishav Aug 09 '16 at 15:07
And i do not understand why to touch `android:windowActionBar` while error is talking about `windowActionBar` (yes, it is a difference - the one without namespace is comming from appcompat library) which makes your "answer" useless – Selvin Aug 09 '16 at 15:09
