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

First set "DisplayShowHomeEnabled" property of actionbar to "true": actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);

and then:

    View homeIcon = findViewById(android.R.id.home);
        ((View) homeIcon.getParent()).setVisibility(View.GONE);
        ((View) homeIcon).setVisibility(View.GONE);

I hope it helps :)
