ActionBar Lag in hiding title

Question

I'm using the ActionBarSherlock for my application and this is the code I use to hide the Title of ActionBar :

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
    actionBar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(true);
    setContentView(R.layout.main_fragment);
}

The problem with this is that when the application starts there is a short amount of time when the Logo and Title are shown simultaneously. This looks really ugly, How can I get rid of that?

This is my solution, we need to define a new style and declare it in the Manifest

<style name="VibhinnaTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.ForceOverflow">
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/VibhinnaTheme.ActionBar</item>
    <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/VibhinnaTheme.ActionBar</item>
</style>

<style name="VibhinnaTheme.ActionBar" parent="Widget.Sherlock.Light.ActionBar.Solid">
    <item name="android:displayOptions">showHome|useLogo</item>
    <item name="displayOptions">showHome|useLogo</item>
</style>

This is the correct solution. The "lag" is the delay between creating the decor view and your `onCreate` executing. – Jake Wharton May 10 '12 at 00:24
Jake, is it possible to short this lag? – petrnohejl Dec 04 '12 at 10:32

What flags do you use to remove both the icon and title? – user1923613 Apr 24 '13 at 19:55
@user1923613 Follow this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14998204/1054366 In short, you set the title to "transparent". And thus there is no lag. – leocadiotine May 10 '13 at 17:16
Take a look at the answer above, @Binoy Babu. It removed the delay on my case. – leocadiotine May 10 '13 at 17:16
