How to hide a actionbar for a moment on a layout which is not an activity

I want to hide the action bar on my charging screen but it's not an activity, it's just a layout over an activity.

Solution

  • Try to call getSupportActionBar().show(); or getSupportActionBar().hide(); in your activity every time you want to show or hide your layout

    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    if (actionBar != null){
        actionBar.show();
        //actionBar.hide();
    }
