Question

I have this bottom action bar style

I want to design like this (left , center, right) with background color blue or red

this is the menu

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" tools:context=".MainActivity">
    <item android:id="@+id/action_settings" android:title="@string/action_settings"
        android:orderInCategory="100" app:showAsAction="never" />

    <item android:id="@+id/menu_save"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_picture"
        android:title="Save"
        app:showAsAction="always"/>

    <item android:id="@+id/menu_search"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_picture"

        android:title="Search"
        app:showAsAction="always"/>

    <item android:id="@+id/menu_share"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_picture"
        android:title="Share"
        app:showAsAction="always"
        />

Here you can download the needed icons: https://www.google.com/design/icons/index.html

The distance between the icons can you make with a custom android:actionButtonStyle like:

<item name="android:actionButtonStyle">@style/ActionButtonStyle</item>

<style name="ActionButtonStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionButton">
    <item name="android:minWidth">70dip</item>
    <item name="android:paddingLeft">70dip</item>
    <item name="android:paddingRight">70dip</item>                  
</style>

And the background color:

ActionBar bar = getActionBar();
bar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#FF0000")));
