Android Action Bar Action Item Position - android

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.

center align icons in titanium action bar for android

Is there any possible way to center align the action item icons that are shown in action bar of titanium app for android. I have searched a lot of places for this solution but had no luck. I want the action bar to look like the below image. Also tell me the way to not show app title in the action bar.
This is not a Titanium issue.
As you can read in Google's documentation, you won't be able to center anything in the ActionBar. Default (and expected) behaviour is to align action icons on the right (or left if reversed).
I don't recommend it, as it goes against Google's guidelines, but you will be able to center icons if you create a fake ActionBar:
- Remove native ActionBar from any window in your app
- Create a Titanium View that mimics the ActionBar
- Add icons and bind click events.
That's it, you are done.

Is it possible to customize items in split action bar?

I'm working with split action bar for my project, i would like to know is it possible to customize the items position in split action bar (i.e) i want some of the menu items in top of the action bar and some of them bottom of the action bar dynamically as my wish is it possible ?
Thanks in advance,
It is not possible to use normal actions on the top and split ActionBar at the same time. There is a trick you can use that is described below:
How to display both normal and split ActionBar?
But it is an old question and ActionBar is deprecated. You can now use multiple Toolbar objects instead of ActionBar. That way you can keep one of them at the bottom and add whatever actions you want to it.

Actionbar Push up relative to screen

I have achieved hiding and showing the actionbar on scroll however I have a few problems with it. 1.) when I click on a tab in my application that requires the action bar to be show then return to the screen where the action bar can be hidden, there is a white space that is the exact size of the action bar under the action bar. 2.) There is an annoying flicker sometimes when the action bar is being hidden or unhidden.
I have seen on many google applications and applications such as instagram where the action bar pushes up relative to the position on screen. I have searched for libraries or ideas on how to implement that technique but have not found any? Is there any way I can at least get rid of the actionbar flicker or is there a library where I can implement the actionbar push up on scroll in my application?

Put android tabs in center of action bar

I tried Android action bar with tabs. As you see in this picture:
(source: persiangig.com)
My action bar looks good in phones but in tablets it is not right, the tabs stick left. This picture shows what I mean, how can I put the tabs to center in tablets too?
(source: persiangig.com)
The tabs are aligned left because, in Android, the action bar is used for both navigation and Activity- or Fragment-specific actions. You don't have any in this screenshot, but menu actions that are added to the action bar will be aligned to the right.
If you must have your tabs centered for some reason, you'll have to write your own action bar. I would recommend against this, since it's a lot of work to intentionally go against user expectations. Instead, use Android's built-in action bar layout and design your app to accommodate it.

Can Android Actionbar be placed vertically?

I want to have an action bar placed vertically(Tablet App)
Can I have this? I know the default action bar does not support this.
Can sherlock action bar?
Can any other?
I have given this time but I dont see any solution to this.
Can sherlock action bar?
No. It backports what's available in the built-in ActionBar.
Can any other?
AFAIK no library provides such functionality.
Can I have this?
Of course you can. Depending on what you use from ActionBar this could be easy. On The image you have provided there is a FrameLayout with two Buttons and additionally hidden overlay ListView after pressing bottom Button. Not too much work.
