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

No.

At least not in 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2. If you look at the decompiled sources of com.android.internal.app.ActionBarImpl you'll find that the animations are hard-coded.

E.g., from 3.2:

.method public hide()V
    .locals 8

    .prologue
    const/4 v5, 0x0

    const/4 v7, 0x0

UPDATE

Same goes for ICS and JellyBean
