title: Make menu items fill height of action bar
body: <p>I have an app with an action bar. <strong>I need the menu items to fill the height of the action bar</strong>. I have tried styling the action bar with <code>android:padding="0dp"</code> and settings <code>android:layout_height="fill_parent"</code> on the action views to no avail. </p>
  
  <p>This picture shows that the browse subjects actionview for instance does not fill the actionbar.</p>

  <p>Here is a shortened version of my menu declaration.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
  
      &lt;item android:id="@+id/menu_more"
            android:title="More"
            android:showAsAction="always"
            android:actionProviderClass="pacakge.action_providers.MoreProvider"
              /&gt;
  &lt;/menu&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The action provider class inflates and returns a view that is inserted into the ActionBar.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks</p>
