1if you are making a custom ActionBar you should be using Toolbar as that is better suited for customizing – tyczj Jun 18 '15 at 14:25

1In your example, simply increase the height of the RelativeLayout. It's actually 50dp. Bring it to 64dp or whatever you like. Maybe, `wrap_content` will be enough. – Phantômaxx Jun 18 '15 at 16:14

To change height of ActionBar you can create a new file themes.xml in your res/values folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="Theme.FixedSize" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="actionBarSize">48dip</item>
<item name="android:actionBarSize">48dip</item>
</style>
</resources>
set this Theme to your Activity:
android:theme="@style/Theme.FixedSize"
