I have an activity that have attached to ActionBar a few Tab (4 by now).
I would like to hide the Tab line as the keyboard shows, and then show the Tab again as the keyboard is closed.
I've searched several answers in here, but no one seems to do what I want (everyone use external libraries for hiding the Tabs on listView scroll, or "delete" dynamically the tab and then recreate them).
How can I achieve that?

How do I hide the ActionBar as a user scrolls down a View?
I just created a sample activity from Android Studio's default "Tabbed Activity" using navigation style "Action Bar Tabs (with ViewPager". From there, if a user swipes down one of the tabs, how can I implement that effect of hiding the ActionBar and then pulling it back down when the user scrolls up? (Just like Google Play app does).
EDIT:
One of the tabs has a RecyclerView with some Views inside. It scrolls vertically. So you can read this as: how to hide the ActionBar as I scroll down this RecyclerView?
EDIT 2:
Visually, I'm trying to achieve this:
try this
getSupportActionBar.hide(); // if it extends action bar activity
or
getActionBar.hide();
I have chosen action bar with navigation tabs for fulfilling my app requirement.
If I set three tabs in navigation mode, window width is good enough to show all the tabs. When I add more than 3, say 5, tabs are visible and I can access it by scrolling horizontally. Even though, tabs are visible only on scrolling to right and user may not aware that more tabs are available.
Is it possible to add arrow images in Navigation TabView if more tabs were available? I believe navigation tabs are shown in stack view of actionbar. Is there some way to add custom view in stacked layout of actionbar?
possibly unrelated (and feel free to comment as such so that I delete the answer) but have you considered using swipe views instead of ActionBar tabs?

They're really easy to use and you can customize them very easily to do what you want and to include any sort of layout you deem applicable to your app. Have a look at
http://viewpagerindicator.com/
for ideas on what's possible.
I've set up a ViewPager in my App with tabs, but I need to position the tabs underneath a button so the layout would be
TitleBar
Button to search activities on a day
Tabs of each day there are activities
Is that kind of layout possible to do using Tabs or will I need a different approach to solve this?
The way the activity is running is theres a main activity, and the layout is just the button and a FrameLayout, and the the list (where the ViewPager is) is set up in a fragment and the fragment is loaded into the FrameLayout. I don't know if this is the best method for this so if not please add your recommendations of a better method I could use.
EDIT: If I could get it so all the tabs were at the bottom of the screen this would also be fine.

Not with action bar tabs. Not only can you not control where the tabs go, you cannot even control if there will be tabs versus a drop-down list.

You are welcome to use some other tab solution (ViewPager with a tabbed indicator, FragmentTabHost, etc.) where you have more control.
Note that your proposed design does not adhere to Android design aesthetics. Most apps would not have "Button to search activities on a day", but instead a search action bar item, or perhaps a SearchView in the action bar.
If I could get it so all the tabs were at the bottom of the screen this would also be fine.
This is completely against the Android design guidelines. Don't use bottom tab bars on Android.
I'm trying to implement an application with a specific view. It needs to have a horizontal bar at the top that contains the app icon, and other buttons and spinners. These items must be static and should appear on every page of the app.
Below that horizontal bar will be a Tabbed component, with the tabs being horizontal at the bottom of the page. I can also implement the desired behavior with the tabs on top of the Tabbed component. Each tab will obviously change the fragment being displayed within the tab's frame.
I am working on an implementation that uses the ActionBar and the menu options. However, I can't get the menu options (my buttons and spinners) to appear above the tabs. And I'm not sure if menu options is the right approach. Any ideas?
Silly me! the answer was right there. I simply had to turn the title bar back on (only with no title) and the menu options would appear right into that title bar.
keep in mind that this feature is heavily dependent on the version of android and model of device that you have.
Older phones have a menu button which will bring up the same menu, as do some modern phones (like the galaxy SIII), so, be sure to test this everywhere so you know what the end-user will actually experience.
When I click one of tabs, I just want to show a dialogue on top of current view without switching the tab.
I could achieve this behavior by overriding onTabChanged when I used TabHost and TabSpec.
But now I switched to using actionbar's tab, and having hard time finding the solution.
