Action Views in the menu are always going to align to the right. If you want your Spinner to align left, it would be better to set it as a custom View on the ActionBar using the setCustomView() method. A custom View will align to the left by default, and will take the place of the title if that is hidden. Please note that this requires that you call setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true) on the ActionBar.
