Description

We could possibly tie this in with the navbarhidden property on windows.

Specifying navbarhidden already hides the action bar, so no work needs to be done here. Will add a hide/show method on the action bar proxy itself instead.

Test case: 1. Set your target sdk version to 14 by adding the entry if your tiapp.xml"

       <android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
           <manifest>
               <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>
           </manifest>
       </android>

2. Run the following code:

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	fullscreen : true,
   	backgroundColor : 'black',
   	layout: 'vertical'
   });
   
   var show = Ti.UI.createButton({
   	title: 'show'
   });
   
   var hide = Ti.UI.createButton({
   	title: 'hide'
   });
   
   show.addEventListener('click', function() {
   	var actionBar = win.activity.actionBar;
   	actionBar.show();
   })
   
   hide.addEventListener('click', function() {
   	var actionBar = win.activity.actionBar;
   	actionBar.hide();
   });
   
   win.add(show);
   win.add(hide);
   
   win.open();

3. Click on the hide button 4. Click on the show button Expect result: You should see the action bar hide and show accordingly when you push the two buttons.

Hide and Show properties of actionBar is working fine as expected. Hence closing it. Verified on: Device : Google Nexus 7, Android Version: 4.1 SDK version: 3.1.0.v20130320190115 CLI version : 3.0.24 OS : MAC OSX 10.7.5 XCode : 4.5.1
