Android: How do you hide Tabs in the ActionBar?

I need to temporarily hide 开发者_Python百科the Tab objects I've defined for my ActionBar. There is no setVisibility method on Tab objects, so I'm at a loss as to how to accomplish this.

I'd try setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD), to move back to the non-tab rendition. It's possible that, when you later call setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS) that you will need to re-establish your tabs, though.

UPDATE: Note that action bar tabs are deprecated in the "L" Developer Preview and should remain deprecated in future production Android releases. Consider using something else for tabs: ViewPager with a tabbed indicator, FragmentTabHost, etc.
