Sounds good then! One more question, it seems that if there first time I launch the app the default title shows up for a bit and then it gets replaced by mine. I know because I can see the title of my app and then it gets disappeared (via a fade animation).
Now this does not occur on any subsequent activity, only the first time. Do you think my activity contains two title bars except mine is just on top of the previous one or do they get replaced? I will be looking in the hierarchy viewer too. Thanks!
