Show and hide ActionBar using Java code

With android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo" is using, Java code can detect if ActionBar is showing currently by calling ActionBar.isShowing() method, and show/hide it by calling ActionBar.show()/ActionBar.hide().

package com.example.androidactionbar;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  Button buttonToggleActionBar = (Button)findViewById(R.id.toggleactionbar);
  buttonToggleActionBar.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

   @Override
   public void onClick(View arg0) {
    ActionBar myActionBar = getActionBar();
    boolean myActionBarisShowing = myActionBar.isShowing();
    if(myActionBarisShowing){
     myActionBar.hide();
     Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), 
       "Hide ActionBar", 
       Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }else{
     myActionBar.show();
     Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), 
       "Show ActionBar", 
       Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
   }});
 }

}

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/toggleactionbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
