i developing application in customizing action bar shown in image:

my code follows :

// remove tabs actionbar getactionbar().removealltabs();  final viewgroup actionbarlayout = (viewgroup)getlayoutinflater().inflate(r.layout.custom_actionbar_layout, null); // set custom layout menus on actionbar getactionbar().setdisplayoptions(actionbar.display_show_custom | actionbar.display_show_home | actionbar.display_home_as_up | actionbar.display_use_logo); getactionbar().setcustomview(actionbarlayout);  getactionbar().setbackgrounddrawable(new colordrawable(color.white)); getactionbar().setdisplayhomeasupenabled(false); getactionbar().setlogo(r.drawable.ic_back_orange);  final textview textviewofactionbarheading = (textview) actionbarlayout.findviewbyid(r.id.textview_actionar_heading); textviewofactionbarheading.settext("my activity");  // getting reference of searchviewand textview of searchview searchview searchview = (searchview) actionbarlayout.findviewbyid(r.id.searchview_actionar_search); searchview.seticonifiedbydefault(true); final textview search_text = (textview) searchview.findviewbyid(searchview.getcontext().getresources().getidentifier("android:id/search_src_text", null, null));  // set color textview of searchview search_text.settextcolor(color.black); // set hint textview of searchview search_text.sethint("search"); // set hintcolor textview of searchview search_text.sethinttextcolor(color.dkgray);  int searchimgid = getresources().getidentifier("android:id/search_button", null, null); imageview v = (imageview) searchview.findviewbyid(searchimgid); v.setimageresource(r.drawable.search_icon);  searchview.setonsearchclicklistener(new onclicklistener() {     @override     public void onclick(view v) {     } });  searchview.setonquerytextlistener(new onquerytextlistener() {     public boolean onquerytextsubmit(string query) {         return false;     }      @override     public boolean onquerytextchange(string newtext) {         if (textutils.isempty(newtext)) {         } else {         }         return true;     } });  searchview.setoncloselistener(new oncloselistener() {     @override     public boolean onclose() {     } }); 

the issue is: action bar arrow getting padding or margin star shown in image :

try this

  actionbar actionbar = getsupportactionbar();         actionbar.setdisplayshowhomeenabled(false);         actionbar.setdisplayshowcustomenabled(true);         actionbar.setdisplayshowtitleenabled(false);         view customview = getlayoutinflater().inflate(r.layout.main_action_bar, null);         actionbar.setcustomview(customview);         toolbar parent =(toolbar) customview.getparent();         parent.setcontentinsetsabsolute(0,0);
