In order to hide the bar, you can set opacity value using hex colors. You just need to add the right prefix. I hid the seekBar using this code:

android:progressBackgroundTint="#00555555"

Where the first two ciphers (i.e. "00") set opaqueness (alpha percentage) and the other six (i.e. "555555") set the color.
