How To Add Buttons Like Refresh And Search In ToolBar In Android?

I have made a ToolBar, but when I add menu items in menu.xml it always shows as an overflow. How do I add it separately? Moreover the Title is shown in the middle (vertically), ho

Solution 1:

OK, I got the icons because I wrote in menu.xml android:showAsAction="ifRoom" instead of app:showAsAction="ifRoom" since i am using v7 library.

However the title is coming at center of extended toolbar. How to make it appear at the top?

Solution 2:

Try to do this:

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);

and if you made your custom toolbar (which i presume you did) then you can use the simplest way possible to do this:

toolbarTitle = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.toolbar_title);
toolbarSubTitle = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.toolbar_subtitle);
toolbarTitle.setText("Title");
toolbarSubTitle.setText("Subtitle");

Same goes for any other views you put in your toolbar. Hope it helps.

Solution 3:

Add this line at the top:

"xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

and then use:

app:showasaction="ifroom"

Solution 4:

To control the location of the title you may want to set a custom font as explained here (by twaddington): Link

Then to relocate the position of the text, in updateMeasureState() you would add p.baselineShift += (int) (p.ascent() * R); Similarly in updateDrawState() add tp.baselineShift += (int) (tp.ascent() * R); Where R is double between -1 and 1.
