custom ActionBar not showing

My code for showing custom ActionBar is given below. I am using the slidingmenu library from https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

     View customActionBar = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.layout_actionbar,
                new LinearLayout(this), false);
        getActionBar().setCustomView(customActionBar);



    setBehindContentView(R.layout.activity_menu);

    slidingMenu=getSlidingMenu();
    slidingMenu.setMode(SlidingMenu.RIGHT);
    slidingMenu.setBehindOffset(100);

    TextView tv=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
    tv.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            slidingMenu.showMenu();
        }
    });


}

Markup for the custom ActionBar:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:orientation="horizontal"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent"
              android:divider="?android:attr/dividerVertical"
              android:dividerPadding="12dp"
              android:showDividers="middle">

    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/action_cancel"
                  style="@style/CustomActionButton">

        <ImageView android:src="@drawable/ic_menu_cancel_holo_light" style="@style/ActionButtonImage" />
        <TextView android:text="DISCARD" style="@style/ActionButtonText" />

    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/action_done" style="@style/CustomActionButton">

        <ImageView android:src="@drawable/ic_menu_done_holo_light" style="@style/ActionButtonImage" />
        <TextView android:text="DONE" style="@style/ActionButtonText" />

    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

When I run this application, the default dark ActionBar is showing not the custom one. How to fix this ?

Try doing it his way:

/*Inflate your custom actionBar layout*/
final ViewGroup customActionBar = (ViewGroup) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.layout_actionbar, null);

/*Get actionbar*/
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();

/*set custom view*/
actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);

/*Define custom view*/
actionBar.setCustomView(customActionBar );
