Answer 1

ActionBar has customView support. Do not use onCreateOptionsMenu() and R.menu.actionbar_right_icon. Instead create a layout that takes all of the views you have draw.

You can do it like below

LayoutParams layout_params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(custom_view, layout_params);
