Try using app:actionLayout too:

<item
    android:id="@+id/switchId"
    android:title=""

    />

It should be noted also that you are casting the view to android.widget.Switch, while in your layout you have a android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat (and that is a good choice, since Switch was added in API14).
