Changing the ActionBar hide animation?

Question

By default in Android 3.0+, when ActionBar.hide()/show() are called the bar is animated with a brief fade in/out animation.

There does not seem to be an XML style attri

Answer 1

A hack for disabling the ActionBar animation (found by inspecting the source code) can be done through introspection via:

try
{
  getActionBar().getClass().getDeclaredMethod("setShowHideAnimationEnabled", boolean.class).invoke(getActionBar(), false);
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
  // Too bad, the animation will be run ;(
}

Ugly, of course, but this actually work, at least from Android v4.2.
