I need to implements splash screen in my honeycomb app. I use this code in activity's onCreate to show splash:

setContentView(R.layout.splash);
getActionBar().hide();

and this code to show main UI after some time:

setContentView(R.layout.main);
getActionBar().show();

But before onCreate is called and splash appears, there is small amount of time when action bar shown.

How can I made it not to show?

I tried to apply theme to activity without action bar:

<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>

but in that case getActionBar() always returns null and I found no way to show it again.
