Show Hide Sherlock Action Bar

I have added Sherlock action bar to an activity by using the following line in manifest:

android:theme="@style/Theme.Sherlock.Light"

I want to save on screen space and hide the action bar by default and show it only when user taps on the screen. I have seen it in Aldiko app but don't know how to implement it.

Any help is welcomed.

Solution

  • To hide use below code on your activity onCreate() method,

    getSupportActionBar().hide();

    To show use below code on tap event,

    getSupportActionBar().show();
