ActionBar with custom layout does not occupy full screen width on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat)

Question

I want to display an Action Bar with a custom layout. The custom layout has three ImageViews, one in the centre and the other two on the left & right ends of the action

Answer 1

In my case I have solved the issue bypassing the invocation of the LayoutInflater.

So one should simply replace this code:

View actionBarView = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.custom_actionbar, null); 
actionBar.setCustomView(actionBarView, lp);

with this code:

actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.custom_actionbar);
