An activity populates the ActionBar in its onCreateOptionsMenu   method   Instead of using setcustomview    just override onCreateOptionsMenu like this      Override     public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu Menu menu      MenuInflater inflater   getMenuInflater      inflater inflate R menu mainmenu  menu     return true      If an actions in the ActionBar is selected  the onOptionsItemSelected   method is called  It receives the selected action as parameter  Based on this information you code can decide what to do for example    Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected MenuItem item      switch  item getItemId          case R id menuitem1        Toast makeText this   Menu Item 1 selected   Toast LENGTH SHORT  show          break      case R id menuitem2        Toast makeText this   Menu item 2 selected   Toast LENGTH SHORT  show          break        return true
