but I am unable to style action bar and show custom button in left or right side of action bar..
How do I achieve this?
I am using API 15 as a minimum requirement

Use new Toolbar introduced in material design, rather than using ActionBar.
You can create your own Style.xml file with styles for customization.

I want to create android action bar with Sherlock according to bottom picture.
how to put the title bar on center and my lists icon align to be right
although another icon set be left.
ActionbarSherlock is very much outdated. You should use the AppCompat library, for which a ton of documentation exists.
How can I center a menu item in an action bar? I am using an image icon in action bar as menu but it appears at the right side of the action bar and I want to center it. Is it possible in android ?
This can be done using custom views in actionbar. In native actionbar view you can't set alignment of menu items. Check here another SO post for custom action bar
Hi I am using actionbarsherlock and splitActionBarWhenNarrow to to get a bottom action bar with my menu information. I have set windowActionBarOverlay to be true.
In android 4.2 and below calling getSupportActionBar().hide(); will properly hide both the top and bottom action bars. In android 4.3 getSupportActionBar().hide() hides the top action bar properly but it leaves a blank white space where the bottom action bar use to be.
Can anyone help me with this?
currently i am using ActionbarSherlock.
Right now, my apps has a Bar at top and a bar at the bottom with overflowed buttons.
I want a custom header bar and do not want to try to theme the Actionbar header bar, but I want to keep the bottom bar with the buttons.
Is it possible to hide the Header bar portion of the ActionBar?
ActionBar().hide() hides both top and bottom bars.
According to the action bar doc ("Using split action bar"): add uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" to the corresponding manifest element. Then use setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false) and setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false). The tabs move are moved into the - now empty - top bar.
Is there a way to center Action Items on the Action Bar?
Something like this pulse.
No. The ActionBar doesn't support images in the middle, and I assume Pulse isn't using the real ActionBar.
The ActionBar is a great user interface component - work WITH IT, not against it.
