Android 4.4 Kitkat custom view actionbar not filling the whole width

I am trying to have a Simple actionbar with a custom view, but I get the following result: For demonstration I created a simple xml with a yellow background color which is supposed to take the whole width. Here is the xml: ``` <?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="match_parent" android:background="@color/yellow" android:orientation="vertical" > <TextView android:visibility="gone" android:id="@+id/action_save" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/action_save" android:gravity="center" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:textStyle="bold" android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" android:textColor="@android:color/white" android:text="@string/save" /> <ImageView android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:background="@drawable/ic_actionbar_logo" /> </RelativeLayout> ``` And I use the following theme for my Application: ``` <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light"></style> ``` This is the actionbar initialization code: ``` actionBar = getSupportActionBar(); actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false); actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true); actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.actionbar); ```
