I'm trying to implement an Material Design like Toolbar including a search (using the support SearchView).
I run into the problem that I can't get the SearchView start at the same position (72dp from the left border) as the title. It's some dp more right than the title. How can I fix this?
I put contentInsetStart="72dp" to the toolbar for getting the title at the mentioned line, but the SearchView now starts like 100dp from the left.
I want to have it like this:
The right solution for my problem was setting app:titleMarginStart="16dp" for the android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar.
Try to override abc_dropdownitem_text_padding_left to 0dp or negative value using ref.xml. Default value is 8dp, when you add 72dp content inset this will move all content to right including their padding which contribute to those you see as 100dp.

Use tab layout instead you can easily achieve that. Here is the link https://material.io/components/tabs
Is there anyway to margin ActionBar title programatically? My context is:
I use my main Activity with NoActionBar theme. So i use a toolbar as Actionbar. I have many fragments using as different screen in Main Activity. I want to margin some of fragment title.
Thank in advance.
There are some rules for accuracy of designing ...
they are define as belove with image..
1. your image view
margin of image view from left edge is always 16
2.your textview
margin of your textview from left edge is always 72
Thats why all our android application should work properly...and at least same lookup...
please follow this link for material designing....Link
hope it help a lots...
I'm trying to replicate the breadcrumbs example:
I've gotten as far as adding TextViews to the Toolbar but can't fully replicate the font/size/color of the Toolbar's style and can't get the breadcrumbs to float off the screen to the left.
You will need to create your own Breadcrumb View and add it in your Toolbar. Maybe based on the now deprecated FragmentBreadCrumbs view.
To get the breadcrumbs to float off the screen you can use negative margin.
Basically, I want to make sure my UI elements (TextViews, Buttons, etc) are left aligned with the ActionBar logo. My idea was to try to find out the left spacing between the edge of the screen and the left side of the logo (shown highlighted in blue in the attached image), and use this value as the left margin for the UI elements in my Activity, but I've been unable to get this value.
So, how can I get the value of this margin? Or, is there a better way of accomplishing this?
Thanks.
Just use the standards for defining paddings as described in the Android Design documents on d.android.com. This page gives a good example of how your layout must be structured in terms of paddings between elements.
You check these answers . Custom layout for the action bar worked for me to change this padding and you can also get padding value.

I have a similar problem as found on this specific question.
I'm using a Toolbar from the v7 support library, and a custom layout. If I have no options menu, I have a result similar to what OP has on the question linked above:
However if I have an options menu, it shifts the toolbar a little bit to the left (start). I would like to have it over the toolbar.
Is it possible? The only way I could hack it is by adding a negative right (end) margin to the toolbar layout, however this moves the menu outside of the screen…
Initially, the whole Toolbar contained several views, so they had to share the width with the action menu.
Now instead I wrapped the Toolbar and the other views in a container (a FrameLayout), so that they overlap without sharing the width. I just need to be careful with the margin at the top so that the other views don't overlap with action icons.
