Exception on hiding title of the application using ListActivity

Question

I have a class extending ListActivity and I am trying to hide the default TitleBar (I think it's called ActionBar) using the code below. It works on a regular activity, but not on the ListActivity. How do I accomplish the same in this scenario?

public class MyClass extends ListActivity{
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle b) {
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        super.onCreate(b);
        // Tried Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE here as well
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_myclass);
        getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    }
}

The result is a NullPointerException. The full error stack trace is here if you need it: http://pastebin.com/VLR5dE8m
