Multiple Custom Views in ActionBar

Question

Is it possible to add multiple custom views into an Action Bar?

I tried to set two custom views in the Action Bar by using,

ActionBar.setCustomView(view);

, but it seems there is one view can be seen at a time.

Not directly. You can either:

• Wrap them in a horizontal LinearLayout or something and use setCustomView()

• Migrate one or more of them to be action views/action layouts/action providers on an <item> in the action bar

Also, bear in mind that the action bar is pretty small on phones in portrait mode, so bigger stuff may not fit all that well.
