ActionBar with custom layout with custom menu item

Question

I want to create a custom action bar by placing it ImageViewin the middle and getting another icon with some information on the right side of the action bar as follows:

I can make the image in the middle already, but the problem

• when I inflate the layout in onCreateOptionMenu()and set showAsAction="always", the right view accepts all the spaces of the action bar like this

but if I set it to "never", the middle image will appear, but the menu item will disappear

here is my code:

private void setActionBar(){
        actionBar = getActionBar();
        actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
        actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
        actionBar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(true);
        actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
        actionBar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM | ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_HOME);

        LayoutInflater linflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        View view = linflater.inflate(R.layout.actionbar_layout, null);
        ActionBar.LayoutParams lp = new ActionBar.LayoutParams(
                ActionBar.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                ActionBar.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        lp.gravity = Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL | Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL;
        view.setLayoutParams(lp);
        actionBar.setCustomView(view);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        MenuInflater menuInflater = getMenuInflater();
        menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.actionbar_right_icon, menu);
        MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.user_info);

        View rightIcon = menuItem.getActionView();
        RelativeLayout rightIconLayout = (RelativeLayout) rightIcon.findViewById(R.id.actionbar_right_icon);
        TextView user = (TextView) rightIconLayout.findViewById(R.id.actionbar_user);
        TextView id = (TextView) rightIconLayout.findViewById(R.id.actionbar_id);

        user.setText("User:test");
        id.setText("ID:xxxxx");

        return true;
    }

menu / actionbar_right_icon

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    >
    <item 
        android:id="@+id/user_info"
        android:actionLayout="@layout/actionbar_right_icon_layout"
        android:icon="@drawable/user_icon"
        android:showAsAction="always"

        />
</menu>

how can i fix this?

ActionBar customView. onCreateOptionsMenu() R.menu.actionbar_right_icon. , .

,

LayoutParams layout_params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(custom_view, layout_params);
