getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(view) does not fill entire actionbar

I'm trying to set the customview of my app and the layout i made does not fill the entire actionbar. I've tried so many style settings but none has worked for me.

here's my code in activity

View view = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.actionbar_customized_home, null);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(view);

here's the layout placed set as view

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@color/actionbar_color"
    >

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="25dp"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:scaleType="fitCenter"
        android:src="@drawable/logo"/>



</RelativeLayout>

Even the background of the menu items like the navdrawer how can I make my customview as background color?

I really appreciate the help

ActionBar.LayoutParams layout = new ActionBar.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
        LayoutInflater inflator = (LayoutInflater) this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        View viewCustom = inflator.inflate(R.layout.custom_searchview_actionbar, null);

        ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();

        if (actionBar != null) {
            actionBar.setCustomView(viewCustom, layout);
            actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
            Log.i("SEARCH", "ACTIONBAR IS NOT NULL");
        } else
            Log.i("SEARCH", "ACTIONBAR IS NULL :((");

This is all you need to add in your onCreate()

getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(new CustomView(this));
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);

Set your main container to this: 

   <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal"
        android:background="@color/actionbar_color"
        >

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="25dp"
            android:layout_centerInParent="true"
            android:scaleType="fitCenter"
            android:src="@drawable/logo"/>

    </RelativeLayout>

The important part is the android:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal that should solve your problem.

EDIT:

if that did not work try doing this:

View view = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.actionbar_customized_home, null);
LayoutParams layout = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(view, layout);

Custom views only occupy the area between the nav/up button and the overflow menu. To change the background and other colors see this - https://developer.android.com/training/basics/actionbar/styling.html
