I’m trying to center the icon in the android action bar. I’m using a custom layout that has a button on the left side, an icon in the center and the menu options on the right. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/ActionBarWrapper"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >



        <ImageButton
            android:id="@+id/slideMenuButton"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_menu_bookmark" />

        <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_centerInParent="true"  >
            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/icon"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"
                android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
        </RelativeLayout>



</RelativeLayout>

I’ve tried this with and without the RelativeLayout wrapping the ImageView. The left button shows up fine, and I can set the icon with layout_toRightOf, but I can’t get it to center. Anyone have any ideas?

Edit:
Here’s the android code in the on create method.

ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
    actionBar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(false);
    actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
    actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
    actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
    actionBar.setDisplayOptions(actionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM);
    View cView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.actionbar, null);
    actionBar.setCustomView(cView);

    Okay. This should work. Try this(Tested in normal activity): 

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/ActionBarWrapper"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/slideMenuButton"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/icon"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"  />    

</RelativeLayout>
