use android backAsUp with custom title bar

Question

I have a custom title bar, a simple relative layout, that I set as the custom title bar of my activity. But at want the android BackAsUp icon < to show up as usual (i.e. to the left of my custom layout). How do I do that? here is my code so far.

    this.getActionBar().setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
    this.getActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
    LayoutInflater inflator = (LayoutInflater) this
        .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    View v = inflator.inflate(R.layout.my_title_bar, null);
    this.getActionBar().setCustomView(v);

Update:

I have tried the answer at Remove Icon but have HomeAsUp in ActionBar they don't work. So one question, is order of setting those flags matter?

I'm not sure but did you try just including `getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);` and `getActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);` ? — Shobhit Puri, Aug 27 '13 at 23:21
Yes. But then it shows the logo as well. Then I set `this.getActionBar().setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(false);` but it still shows the logo. I am trying to figure out how to set the logo to null. — Cote Mounyo, Aug 27 '13 at 23:25
Did you try to set the icon as transparent? You can also do it in `styles.xml` and set the style for Action bar likw `@android:color/transparent ` . See http://stackoverflow.com/a/14998204/1306419 — Shobhit Puri, Aug 27 '13 at 23:51

Adding the following combo solved the problem.

getActionBar().setIcon(
               new ColorDrawable(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent)));
        this.getActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
