use custom layout for ActionBar

public class TestActivity extends Activity {

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        final ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
        actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.actionbar_custom_view_home);
        actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
        actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
        actionBar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(false);
        actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);

        setContentView(R.layout.main);

    }

    public void Click(View v) {
        if (v.getId() == R.id.imageIcon) {
            Log.e("click on-->  ", "Action icon");
        }
    }
}

actionbar_custom_view_home.xml
