Get Logo to left in ActionBar

First I have to say that I know this isn't correct anymore to the Google Guidelines. But still I need to know it.

I'm trying to Add the Android Icon in my ActionBar. Logo are not displayed in Actionbar, using AppCompat

This gave my the answer. But my problem now is that the logo is in the middle of the ActionBar. I want it in the left.

Code:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBarLogo</item>
</style>

<style name="MyActionBarLogo" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar">
    <item name="background">@color/background_material_dark</item>
    <item name="logo">@drawable/icon</item>
    <item name="displayOptions">useLogo|showHome</item>
</style>

Printscreen:

PrintScreen

Anyone an idea? I have the feeling it's something stupid...

EDIT: Added Manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.ap.brecht.myapplication" >

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/icon"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
            >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

You can also use a logo in vector format *.svg. and it will work.

Yeah I found the problem. It's really stupid!

The size of the icon was much to big! After changing it to 48 * 48 it works!

why don't u use Toolbar?

I think in your case you should use toolbar.

Here is sample code...

 <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
    android:theme="@style/Toolbar"
    android:background="@color/primary"
    app:theme="@style/Toolbar">


    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/toolbarTitle"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:textSize="22dp"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"/>

    </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

that's my toolbar with textview in the middle of toolbar. You can put whatever you want instead of TextView I used Hope this will help u.
