acti
Refer this, for customize action bar,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<!-- the theme applied to the application or activity -->
<style name="CustomActivityTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>
<!-- other activity and action bar styles here -->
</style>
<!-- style for the action bar backgrounds -->
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">@drawable/ab_background</item>
<item name="android:backgroundStacked">@drawable/ab_background</item>
<item name="android:backgroundSplit">@drawable/ab_split_background</item>
</style>
