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

Yes, you most certainly can.

You first get the ActionBar view like this:

public View getActionBarView() {
    Window window = getActivity().getWindow();
    View v = window.getDecorView();
    int resId = getResources().getIdentifier("action_bar_container", "id", "android");
    return v.findViewById(resId);
}

Then you can apply animations directly on the view like this:

View actionbar = getActionBarView();
actionbar.setTranslation(-48); // move it out of the screen
