Align one item to left of ActionBar

Question

I want to align one item to the left of ActionBar and others to the right like this :

I have 5 items in my menu xml.

main.xml

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="fr.mgs.consulting.allbrary_android.MainActivity" >

<item 
    android:id="@+id/action_spinner"
    android:showAsAction="always"
    android:actionLayout="@layout/spinner_actionbar"
    android:title="@string/action_spinner"

    android:orderInCategory="1"/>

<item 
    android:id="@+id/action_search"
    android:showAsAction="always"
    android:title="@string/action_spinner"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_search"
    android:orderInCategory="2"/>

<item 
    android:id="@+id/action_tablet"
    android:showAsAction="never"
    android:title="@string/action_spinner"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_tablet"
    android:orderInCategory="3"/>

<item 
    android:id="@+id/action_notifications"
    android:showAsAction="always"
    android:title="@string/action_spinner"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_notifications"
    android:orderInCategory="4"/>

<item 
    android:id="@+id/action_user"
    android:showAsAction="always"
    android:title="@string/action_spinner"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_user"
    android:orderInCategory="5"/>

How shall we do it? Sorry for my very bad English.

Answer 1

You can create your own custom view for ActionBar where this left element will be like simple image view, and others menu items will be as usual menu items.
