How to customize Android ActionBar to show a custom view before the tabs?

Question

I\'m using a custom view for the ActionBar with Tabs. My problem is the ordering of the custom view. Android is displaying it AFTER the tabs - which I do no

Answer 1

When you add your custom view to the ActionBar you can specify the gravity also.

ActionBar.LayoutParams lp = new ActionBar.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);              
lp.gravity = Gravity.LEFT;
customView.setLayoutParams(lp);
