I wanted to reduce the spacing bettween Action Item icons added to the ActionBar. Is there a way we can do this?
I think you may find that this is hard-to-impossible to accomplish without getting extremely hackish or just creating your own custom ActionBar. See here for what seems like a pretty similar question. I did some testing myself overriding android:actionButtonStyle, and while I was able to override certain things (like the background), it refused to honor any kind of padding attributes i specified.
