Add Icon to the left of the title in the action bar in android

Question

I want to add a clickable icon/button to the left of the title in the action bar . How to do it? Following is the code with which I have added search and setting icon to the act

Answer 1

You can show an icon at the left side using the following code.

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_HOME | 
ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_TITLE | ActionBar.DISPLAY_HOME_AS_UP | ActionBar.DISPLAY_USE_LOGO);
actionBar.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);

But it wont be clickable. To make a clickable icon at the left, you need to use Toolbar instead of an action bar.
