SlidingPaneLayout: slide without smooth animation?

I'm using the new SlidingPaneLayout available in the latest support library, which provides the openPane() and closePane() methods to smooth open and close the panel. Unfortunately, there are no public methods to do so without animation.

Is there a way to still do this? I have a feeling reflection may be necessary.

P.S. The file is available under sdk/extras/android/support/v4/src/java/android/support/v4/widget/.

I ended up writing a subclass that provides two methods, openPaneNoAnimation() and closePaneNoAnimation(). Yes, it's reflection, and may stop working with future support libraries, but for now it does the job. Worst case, the methods fall back to using openPane() and closePane().
