title: Change Actionbar height on Android JellyBean
body: <p>I've been recently developing an Android app, in which i need to have a custom layout and dimension for the tab bar. The way that i did it until now is by using Jake Wharton's ActionBarSherlock library to support pre-HoneyComb Android versions, and by applying a style to the app in which i edit the actionBarSize style item.</p>
  
  <p>Now, I've been testing the app on the Galaxy S3 (with Jellybean on it), and the tab bar height doesn't change anymore according to the <code>actionBarSize</code> value.</p>
  
  <p>So I've started looking through JellyBean's code, and I found this method in the <code>ActionBarPolicy</code> class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    public int getTabContainerHeight() {
              TypedArray a = mContext.obtainStyledAttributes(null, R.styleable.ActionBar,
                 com.android.internal.R.attr.actionBarStyle, 0);
              int height = a.getLayoutDimension(R.styleable.ActionBar_height, 0);
              Resources r = mContext.getResources();
              if (!hasEmbeddedTabs()) {
                  // Stacked tabs; limit the height
                  height = Math.min(height,
                          r.getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.action_bar_stacked_max_height));
              }
              a.recycle();
              return height;
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>From what i gather in this method, it seems that JellyBean limits the height of the TabBar, when the app is in portrait mode, by setting the tab bar height to the "action_bar_stacked_max_height" dimension value (which is 48dp, in 4.1's <code>/values/dimen.xml</code> file), even though I've set the action bar height in <code>actionBarSize</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried overriding this dimension value, by setting it to my own value in my own <code>dimen.xml</code> file, but i had no luck. It didn't work.</p>
  
  <p>My question: </p>
  
  <p>Do you guys know of a way in which i can override the"action_bar_stacked_max_height" dimen value?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance!</p>
