Android ActionBar with custom layout does not occupy whole width of parent

Question

This is my xml fil

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal"
    android:gravity="fill_horizontal"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    >

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal"
    android:background="#fff556ff"
    android:id="@+id/actionbar_relativelayout"
    >

    <ImageView
        android:clickable="true"
        android:id="@+id/imgMenu"
        android:layout_width="40dp"
        android:layout_height="30dp"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
        android:paddingLeft="10dp"
        android:src="@drawable/menu_dashboard" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="22dp"
        android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/imgMenu"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/imgMenu"
        android:text="@string/app_name"
        android:textColor="#ffffff"
        android:textSize="14sp" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imgUser"
        android:layout_width="40dp"

        android:layout_height="40dp"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="15dp"

        android:src="@drawable/user" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imgMessage"
        android:layout_width="40dp"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:layout_height="40dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/imgUser"
        android:src="@drawable/message_dashboard"
     />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imgInfo"
        android:layout_width="40dp"

        android:layout_height="40dp"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"

        android:layout_marginRight="80dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_action_search"
        android:clickable="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

This is my Activity

 RelativeLayout custom_RelativeLayout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.actionbar_relativelayout);
            getSupportActionBar().setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM );
            getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(R.layout.custom_actionbar);
            getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
            getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
            getSupportActionBar().setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(false);
            getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
            getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(
                    getApplicationContext().getResources().getDrawable(
                            R.drawable.drawable_actionbar_back));
            getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(R.layout.custom_actionbar);

I want to its occupy whole space of action bar but it does not occupy i also read many answers on stackoverflow but didn't work. 1) I want match parent space in action bar

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_dashboard_two);
        android.support.v7.app.ActionBar actionbar = getSupportActionBar();
       GetActionBarDetails();// Method for inflating ActionBar

        viewAction = getSupportActionBar().getCustomView();*/
    }

    @Override

        super.onResume();

    private void GetActionBarDetails()
    {

       RelativeLayout custom_RelativeLayout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.actionbar_relativelayout);

        imgMessagebutton = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imgMessage);
        imgMenubutton = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imgMenu);
        imgMenubutton.setOnClickListener(this);
        imgMessagebutton.setOnClickListener(this);
        imgInfobutton.setOnClickListener(this);
        imgUserbutton.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

    }
}

If you want to get the height of native action bar then use ?android:attr/actionBarSize in XML.

Now your XML will look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
    android:background="#fff556ff"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:weightSum="1" >

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imgMenu"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="30dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:layout_weight="0.15"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:layout_weight="0.4"
            android:text="@string/app_name"
            android:textColor="#ffffff"
            android:textSize="20sp" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imgUser"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="40dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:layout_weight="0.15"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imgMessage"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="40dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:layout_weight="0.15"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imgInfo"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="40dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:layout_weight="0.15"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />
    </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

this is the main key point android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize" — A-Droid Tech, Jul 31 '15 at 05:36
