Padding between ActionBar's home icon and title

Question

Does anybody know how to set padding between the ActionBar\'s home icon and the title?

Answer 1

This is how I was able to set the padding between the home icon and the title.

ImageView view = (ImageView)findViewById(android.R.id.home);
view.setPadding(left, top, right, bottom);

I couldn't find a way to customize this via the ActionBar xml styles though. That is, the following XML doesn't work:

However, if you are looking to achieve this through xml, these two links might help you find a solution:
