Android immersion transitions

I have an Android app that uses immersive mode for all activities - so this is a fully functional full screen app.

I have a BaseActivity class from which all other activities are propagated. In this operation, I call the following to enable fullscreen / immersive

HelmiBlankActivity:

private boolean apiLowerImmersive = false;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

   if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
        apiLowerImmersive = true;
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    }

}


@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
@Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
    super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);

  if(hasFocus && !apiLowerImmersive ) {
        getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE);
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

In actions it works great, the problem is this: when opening a new action (by design) the action bar / title is displayed for a short time and then hidden again - which seems like a laggy / buggy.

The app also has a theme: styles.xml:

<style name="FullscreenTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
    <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

      

        
        
        
      

    

I tried to apply android: Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar and also - failed during transitions. I couldn't find anything on stackoverflow (which is a great community by the way and helped me with a lot of problems) or anywhere else on the Internet, and would appreciate your help.
