Answer 1

I made a little fix on @idunnololz code to support ActionBarSherlock

private View getActionBarView() {

    int actionViewResId = 0;
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
        actionViewResId = getResources().getIdentifier(
                "abs__action_bar_container", "id", getPackageName());
    } else {
        actionViewResId = Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier(
                "action_bar_container", "id", "android");
    }
    if (actionViewResId > 0) {
        return this.findViewById(actionViewResId);
    }

    return null;
}
