Show layout on clicking an item in Actionbar - Android

My activity.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"       
    tools:context="com.myactionbar.actionbar.MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello_world" />

    <!-- Enable this layout on clicking the icon in actionbar -->
    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/rl_ListView1"
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="0.5" 
        android:background="@color/black"
        android:visibility="invisible">               
    </RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Main.xml - It shows an icon at actionbar

<item
        android:id="@+id/show_info"
        android:orderInCategory="100"
        android:title="@string/search"
        app:showAsAction="always"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_icon"
        />

On clicking the ic_icon icon in actionbar, i need to show the hidden Relativelayout with id=rl_ListView1.

I don't know how to find the layout with id on clicking an item in actionbar.

Please help me to do this.

Override onCreateOptionsMenu() and onOptionsItemSelected() in your activity . For e.g:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.your_menu, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();

    //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
    switch (id) {
        case R.id.show_info:
          // Change visibilty of your RelativeLayout here
             if(rl.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE){
                rl.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
             }else{
                rl.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
             }
            break;

        default:
            break;
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

You need to override onOptionsItemSelected method in our activity

public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    int id = item.getItemId();

    if (id == android.R.id.home) {

        //Code for showing layout
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

========= Updated 

if (id == R.id.show_info) {

if(r1.getVisibility()== View.VISIBLE)
{ 
               //Hide your layout
}
else
{
  //Show your layout
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle item selection
    try {
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.menu:
            //do here
            break;
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        log(e);
    }
}
