Android - Toolbar not showing in action

is working on a wallpaper app and is working on moving to API 21 and removing the ActionBar in favor of the toolbar. That being said, I am trying to use the v7 support library. It happens that there is basically a gray outline where the toolbar should be, but it never appears.

WallpaperActivity.java:

styles.xml:

<resources>

    <style name="Theme.Bliss" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Main theme colors -->
    <!--   your app branding color for the app bar -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
    <!--   darker variant for the status bar and contextual app bars -->
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>
    <!--   theme UI controls like checkboxes and text fields -->
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/accent</item>
    </style>

</resources>

      

        
        
        
      

    

If I remove setContentView from the onCreate method, I get the error:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempting to call virtual method 'java.lang.CharSequence android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar.getTitle ()' on a null object reference

Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
