I have a lot of different titles for Toolbar that I pass from previous activity trough intent:
title = getIntent().getStringExtra("title");
And I set them to my Toolbar of new activity like this:
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(title);
But the font is too large and only covers one line of toolbar:
This is one of the example titles:
CONVERSION OF RADAR RANGE PROPAGATION KILOMETER INTO MICROSECOND TIME AND VICE-VERSA
I would like to know is there a way to dynamically change Toolbar height and text size to fit this titles? Can this be done programmatically?
Thanks
try this create custom toolbar like this
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Did you know"
android:id="#+id/myTitle"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
and use theme of your activity as NoActionBar
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
TextView myTitle = (TextView) toolbar.findViewById(R.id.myTitle);
You can try like this:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar_top"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#color/action_bar_bkgnd"
app:theme="#style/ToolBarTheme" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Toolbar Title"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/toolbar_title" />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
and in java file;
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar_top);
TextView mTitle = (TextView) toolbarTop.findViewById(R.id.toolbar_title);
So began researching how to create an action bar with an autocomplete text view for search. Most of the solutions I've found come close to what I'm looking for however they all seem to be focused on cramming any and additional views added to the action bar on one line.
Further complicating this, is the fact that this is all located in a view pager fragment whose parent activity already has an action bar. Thus using the setSupportingActionBar call with a Toolbar throws an illegal state exception.
Not sure if what I am accomplishing is actually supported but here it goes.
The end result I am looking for is this
Here is what I wrote
*custom view containing the autocomplete text view named autocomplete.xml *
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/search_text_view"
android:paddingTop="15dp"
android:paddingBottom="15dp"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:paddingRight="20dp"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/ic_search_blue"
android:background="#drawable/white_edittext"/>
</LinearLayout>
here is the code in my fragment used to setup the action bar
private void initializeActionsBarWithAutocomplete(){
ActionBar actionBar = ((MyParentActivity) getActivity()).getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.default_title));
View autoCompleteView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.autocomplete, null);
mSearchTextView = (AutoCompleteTextView) autoCompleteView.findViewById(R.id.search_text_view);
mSearchTextView.setAdapter(mTypeAheadAdapter);
mSearchTextView.setOnItemClickListener(this);
mSearchTextView.addTextChangedListener(this);
actionBar.setCustomView(autoCompleteView);
actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
What I end up getting is this
So assuming what I'm trying to do is possible, and I'm at least on the right track, what exactly is going wrong here. I assumed that having the custom view match parent would force the textview to take up its own line and expand the size of the action bar accordingly. That is clearly not the case. I looked at some articles that allowed you to set the height of the action bar explicitly but from what I can comprehend, that method will result in the same appearance with a bunch of white space under views in the action bar.
You can use Toolbar widget in XML and customize it as per your needs.
Here is an layout of Toolbar containing AutoCompleteTextView:
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="#+id/appBarLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
app:titleTextColor="#FFFFFF">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingTop="20dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/toolbar_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:text="#string/app_name"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
cardview:cardBackgroundColor="#ffffff"
cardview:cardCornerRadius="2dp"
cardview:cardElevation="0dp">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/search_text_view"
android:paddingTop="15dp"
android:paddingBottom="15dp"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:paddingRight="20dp"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/ic_search_blue"
android:background="#drawable/white_edittext"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
In your JAVA code try this:
Toolbar mToolBar;
ActionBar mActionBar;
AutoCompleteTextView mSearchTextView;
private void initializeActionsBarWithAutocomplete(){
// ToolBar
mToolBar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
// AutoCompleteTextView
mSearchTextView = (AutoCompleteTextView) mToolBar.findViewById(R.id.search_text_view);
mSearchTextView.setAdapter(mTypeAheadAdapter);
mSearchTextView.setOnItemClickListener(this);
mSearchTextView.addTextChangedListener(this);
setSupportActionBar(mToolBar);
// ActionBar
mActionBar = getSupportActionBar();
mActionBar.setTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.default_title));
mActionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
OUTPUT:
Hope this will help~
My action bar has menu, in fragment only set title.
Can not align into center.
What can I do? Default it show left side only. How can I align in CENTER position on action bar in fragment title?
You have to use toolbar.
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar_top"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#color/action_bar_bkgnd"
app:theme="#style/ToolBarTheme" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Toolbar Title"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/toolbar_title" />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
This means that you can style the TextView however you would like because it's just a regular TextView. So in your activity you can access the title like so:
Toolbar toolbarTop = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar_top);
TextView mTitle = (TextView) toolbarTop.findViewById(R.id.toolbar_title);
I'm trying to display my toolbar title in the center and to do it I use the method which is given in this answer :-Toolbar Center title
However, when I enable back button in my activity by following code:
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
mActionBar = getSupportActionBar();
mActionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
mActionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
The title of toolbar doesn't show up in the center but slightly off-centered towards the right.
How can I achieve centered title without being affected by the back button or menu bar?
Add a TextView inside the Toolbar & don't forget to set the following attribute inside your TextView.
android:layout_marginRight="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
OR
android:layout_marginEnd="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
code snippet:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/custom_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#android:color/holo_red_dark">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="abc"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:layout_marginRight="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:gravity="center"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Refer to this tutorial for more information.
Having a placeholder image the same size as the back arrow and setting it to be invisible when the back arrow is not shown and gone when it's displayed did the trick for me.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/blue"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:contentInsetEnd="0dp"
app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetRight="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iv_placeholder"
android:layout_width="72dp"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_actionbar_hamburger"
android:visibility="invisible"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/logo_tv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginEnd="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:gravity="center"
android:text=""
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textStyle="normal"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Just add android:paddingEnd="72dp; to the Toolbar layout.
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
app:contentScrim="#color/colorPrimary"
app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
android:paddingEnd="72dp"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark"
app:title="Title"/>
Just put your content in a child view inside the Toolbar tag in XML, using the following attributes:
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
Offical docs for Toolbar state:
One or more custom views. The application may add arbitrary child views to the Toolbar. They will appear at this position within the layout. If a child view's LayoutParams indicates a Gravity value of Gravity#CENTER_HORIZONTAL the view will attempt to center within the available space remaining in the Toolbar after all other elements have been measured.
This works for me, using androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar with a child view.
The reason why the title is not centered when you use a back button as navigation icon, is that navigation icon is represented as AppCompatImageButton and is added to the same layout as your title TextView. Using Arshak's answer is not a bad idea, but ?android:attr/actionBarSize is not a good way to define the end margin. As the action bar height is probably the same size as icon's width, it might work, but might not work on all devices. Could be a good idea to specify this size from material design guidelines.
In my case I was using an imageview inside the toolbar which I didnt want shifting around while navigating between fragments of a activity.
I kept it centered by placing it out the toolbar. I used constraintlayouts
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.google.android.material.appbar.MaterialToolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
</com.google.android.material.appbar.MaterialToolbar>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#id/toolbar"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#id/toolbar"
android:src="#drawable/ic_logo"
tools:ignore="ContentDescription" />
...
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
I think the nicest and most up-to-date method is to have full control over the appbar. This way you can change other things from textview location.
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:title="#string/app_name"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/app_name"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:textColor="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_marginEnd="20dp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar>
You can use this directly inside your activity. However, you may need to change the active toolbar by making such a definition in the activity where you added this toolbar.
Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
Dont set propterties like this
mActionBar = getSupportActionBar();
mActionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
mActionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
Do like this
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
// Title and subtitle
toolbar.setTitle(R.string.about_toolbar_title);
toolbar.setSubtitleTextColor(Color.WHITE);
toolbar.setTitleTextColor(Color.WHITE);
toolbar.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(
R.color.themeToolbarColor));
toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_back);
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
finish(); // to go back finish() will do your work.
//mActionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
//mActionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
}
});
Hi I have implemented the toolbar with translucent statusbar set to true. The textview in the toolbar is appearing correctly after padding the status bar height in "onCreate" method. However, the menu items are not aligned properly as shown in the image.
It seems the padding shifted the toolbar correctly but somehow it affected the menu items. What could be the cause and how could we align the menu item in the toolbar with transparent statusbar?
Here is the toolbar in the layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/main_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
android:background="#drawable/toolbar_bg">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Toolbar Title"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="16dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/toolbar_title" />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
In the theme it was set the translucentStatus = true:
<style name="AppThemePink" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">true</item>
<item name="android:clipToPadding">true</item> ...
In the Activity, onCreate method:
mainToolBar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.main_toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(mainToolBar);
mainToolBar.setPadding(0, Util2.getStatusBarHeight(this), 0, 0);
final ActionBar actionbar = getSupportActionBar();
actionbar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
