Unfortunately, that is not possible. ActionBar menu item views are internal 
android OS classes.

I used solo.clickOnView(solo.getView(R.id.menu_item)) from Robotium to click on 
action bar items. It definitely works with ABS ActionBar library (4.0.3) so it 
should also even work with the native ActionBar.

It works for all Actionbar buttons except for the Home/Up Actionbar button 
(which is on the left).
Tried to do  solo.clickOnView(solo.getView(android.R.id.home)) but had no 
result. 
Any possibility to click on that button?

Aterme...
I know it's kinda late (almost 2 years since the last post), but here is the 
answer:
solo.clickOnActionBarHomeButton()

Try this one, it should work.
