I have been searching the reference to the navigation up icon for android within android studio but cant find it. I am trying to add it to a toolbar. The toolbar is not the action bar. I have a toolbar in a sliding up panel. The picture below is the icon I am looking to reference without adding:
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
If it can't be referenced as a drawable I am assuming I will need to import images which I am trying not to do. If that is the case then please provide a page that has the exact icon as a .png.
If you are going to down vote the question provide an explanation on why.
actionbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha);
Hope this helps
I ended up getting the Material Icons from Google's GitHub

I want to create the following customized BottomNavigationBar. How can I set custom layout for the same?
Can somebody tell me how to approach it ?
You can check this library, hope this helps! BottomNavigationCircles-Android
If you are OK with using Material components, this article should be of use: https://protocoderspoint.com/custom-bottom-navigation-bar-android/.
This is a relatively easy thing to find on Google, so I advise looking there for some help.
Check out sites like https://github.com/roughike/BottomBar if you want to build upon a pre-built layout/system.
As far as I can tell though, there is no method to set android:layout="#layout/mylayout" function for bottom nav bars.
Search GitHub for "custom bottom navigation bar" and try to build off of the dirty work that has been done there. It will save a lot of time and headache while you're trying to build the back-end navigation patterns and layout inflators.
I'm new to Android Studio, and I am going through the tutorials on the website.
It shows buttons in the toolbar like, 'hide constraints' 'default margins', and 'autoconnect'. But I can't find these buttons in my Android Studio.
Can anyone help me find them and make them visible in the Toolbar.
Those are visible when you use a ConstrainedLayout in your Layout's xml file.
I need a navigation bar that doesn't slideIn above the current view (the usual overlapping stype), instead it should be as in new ebay app (as if scrolling the wallpaper in homescreen with more than one page). Is it possible to add this effect to material-design-navigation-view? How do I do it?
You can use Sliding Menu Library for your requirement. Here is the link to that library

And if you are using Android Studio then see this link to add it in your project

There is no default way to really do this. However, this thread of StackOverflow will help you: push activity on the right when open drawer
Another GitHub library that may suit your need is: Material Drawer. You can download the demo on Google Play Store (same name). A similar approach is the Persistent Header Drawer
I have been doing a small research on UI designs for Android for the last few weeks. My main concern right now is the action bar along with tabs. I believe the default android implementation takes to much room on the screen.
Recently I took a look at the Flickr app and I really like how they do this but I am not sure how to implement tabs this smoothly inside the action bar itself.
All help / ideas are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Screenshot of the action bar can be found here:

Check out this library on github.
It's an Android Library to help you create actionbar tabs like Capitaine train app by Cyril Mottier.
You have to set a customview in your actionbar and use something like ViewPagerIndicator
http://viewpagerindicator.com/
To setup a custom view in your actionbar just use setCustomView but remember to enable the display of custom view first.
Take a look at this

This may be silly but I've been looking over an hour for the Up Indicator icon so I can customize it in my image editor tool. Where can I find that icon? It is not in the Android Design Icon Pack, as I just searched in it.
If you have SDK installed on your device, you can find the icon in %SDK-FOLDER%/platforms/android-*/data/res/drawable-*/ic_ab_back_holo_light_am . You can take from there and edit it.
Try this one: http://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/index.html
It has many other icons not only the up button. You can also change the icon color if you want.
My original answer called out that the icon exists in Android by default and that it does not to be manually added.
But this did not address the question as asked.
You should be able to get the icon from the Android libraries themselves, or from Google material design icon back available here (https://material.io/tools/icons/?icon=arrow_back&style=baseline)
