Question

I would like to show a spinner in my ActionBar, using ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST, but I would like it to hide/show based on some application context. I have found that I can remove it from the ActionBar with getActionBar().setNavigationMode(-1), however I don’t know if this is a good idea.

Any feedback on if this is safe or if there is a safer alternative?

Answer 1

Maybe this is more accepted:

ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD);
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
