How to remove the gap between navigation icon and toolbar logo?

How can I remove the margin between the navigation icon and toolbar logo.
My toolbar layout
<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="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#drawable/paper9patch"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"
app:theme="#style/toolbarTheme"
app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
I am inserting logo like this
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
toolbar.setContentInsetStartWithNavigation(0);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
getSupportActionBar().setLogo(R.drawable.sample);
my toolbar is looking like this
the logo is almost showing in the middle I want it beside the drawer icon
I searched on stackover flow and all answers tell to use
app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"
but its not working . I can say there is no padding for the image it is cropped exactly to edges. If i use tile there is no gap in middle ,the gap appears only when inserted logo.
Is this intended behavior ? Is there any thing else I can do to remove the gap?
Edit : styles i am using
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="toolbarTheme" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/themeColor</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/themeColor</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />

Try this
<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="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#drawable/paper9patch"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"
app:theme="#style/toolbarTheme"
app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="30dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

Try this although it not much different from your layout but its works well i have tested it .
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.design.widget.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="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
android:contentInsetStart="0dp"
app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"
android:gravity="center"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
Set up toobar as.
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle("New");
getSupportActionBar().setLogo(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

The Problem was with the image , It did not had any extra space or padding at side but the image resolution was higher .
Solution is :
Just decrease the image resolution of logo and every thing should work normally.

toolbar background doesn't adjust and title is not shown - android

I'm trying to create a toolbar that uses a background I made in a png file.
Now, when I use the background in the xml, the layout editor in the android studio shows exactly the expected result. The problem comes when I run the app in the virtual device. The background doesn't adjust to the toolbar and as a result only a part of it gets shown.
Moreover, the title and the items are acting strange. The title is not shown at all and the only item that is displayed in the toolbar suddenly jumps to the left.
XML Code of the Toolbar:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/app_bar_styled"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:elevation="15dp">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar_styled"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:elevation="15dp"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay.Styled">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/action_bar_background"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
XML Code for the style of the toolbar:
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay.Styled" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/action_bar_background</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/ToolBarTitleStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="ToolBarTitleStyle" parent="Base.TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16dp</item>
</style>
And this is the MainActivity code which concerns the toolbar:
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar_styled);
toolbar.setTitle(R.string.app_name);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
Here is the images of the layout editor preview and the virtual device:

You need to nest it like this:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/cor_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="#+id/app_bar_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="256dp">
<android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
android:id="#+id/collapsingToolbarLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar_styled"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:elevation="15dp"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay.Styled">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/action_bar_background"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
</android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
then set them up like this:
toolbar= (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
collapse=(CollapsingToolbarLayout) findViewById(R.id.collapseToolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
collapse.setTitle("Title");
collapse.setCollapsedTitleTextColor(Color.parseColor("#FFFFFF"));
collapse.setExpandedTitleColor(Color.parseColor("#FFFFFF"));
collapse.setStatusBarScrimColor(Color.parseColor("#FFFFFF"));

1) create one tool_bar.xml file in your res folder and paste the following code.
2) Include this tool_bar.xml file when ever you required.
3) Instantiate tool_bar object in .java file and do further process.
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/tool_bar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:elevation="4dp"
>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/action_bar_background"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
<include id="#+id/tool_bar"
layout="#layout/tool_bar"/>
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar)findViewById(R.id.tool_bar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

How to remove deafult action bar and add toolbar instead in android?

I am developing an app in which I have window default action bar but I want to remove that and want to add toolbar instead. How can I add that
Code for removing action bar:
<activity
android:name=".CMainActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"
/>
I am extending AppCompatActivity
// navigation bar code
m_Drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);//finding id of drawerlayout
s_drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, m_Drawer, m_Toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
m_Drawer.setDrawerListener(s_drawerToggle);
m_Drawer.setScrimColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));
s_drawerToggle.syncState();
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/container_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:titleTextColor="#FFFF"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
tools:ignore="UnusedAttribute">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/tab_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/primary"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:tabIndicatorColor="#android:color/white"
app:tabIndicatorHeight="2dp"
app:tabTextAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium"
tools:ignore="UnusedAttribute"/>
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>
</LinearLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer"
tools:ignore="PrivateResource"/>

In your styles.xml set AppTheme to NoActionBar like below -
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
Then in your activity
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
and add this toolbar in your layout.xml file like below -
<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="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#color/primaryColor" />

Add this code to your xml layout to add a toolbar:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>
Then in your Java class:
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle("title");
To remove default action bar, in your manifest file add
<android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
or in your styles.xml add:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

place this code in activity xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context="com.ideabiz.riderapplication.ui.KmsActivity">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<include layout="#layout/content_kms" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
place this code in content xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.ideabiz.riderapplication.ui.KmsActivity"
tools:showIn="#layout/activity_kms">
place this in java file:
ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

You might have 3 folders inside "res" folder
values
values-v11
values-v14
You need to change style.xml file from all this folders to
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
in case you have included values-v21 same for that.
now extend your MainActivity with AppCompatActivity(Which you are doing) and assign your ToolBar as ActionBar.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
}
I hope this will help you. if not tell me what error getting after doing that.
Update :
Add this another style to your styles.xml
<style name="NoActionBarStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>
and in manifest.xml file.
<activity
android:name=".CMainActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="#style/NoActionBarStyle" />
Happy Coding.

Toolbar showing an empty box

I've never used the toolbar before, but starting with this new project I wanted to give it a try. However I'm already having troubles.
For all I know, I used appcompact toolbar to define the toolbar in my layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<!--toolbar-->
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#color/toolBar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="64dp">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/toolbar"
android:id="#+id/container"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World!" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Also, in my activity I set it with getSupportActionBar()
protected void setupActionBar() {
// Set a toolbar to replace the action bar.
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
if (toolbar != null) {
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle("My custom toolbar!");
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
logger.debug("Toolbar Setted");
}
}
However result shows only an empty box with no title or functionality at all.
I don't understand what I'm missing out, the process should be pretty straight forward.
The style file I use is the following:
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="toolbarStyle">#style/Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar</item>
</style>

Create a toolbar.xml file in your layout folder and place this code in it
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:id="#+id/toolBar" >
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<!-- Place what ever you want in your layout -->
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
add this toolbar in your activity layout like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#android:color/white"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<include layout="#layout/toolbar"></include>
<!-- Create your main layout here -->
</LinearLayout>
In your activity you can set your toolbar like this
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolBar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

Android Toolbar Covering Content

I am using the new toolbar and setting it as the supportActionBar. My problem is that it is covering my content.
Here is the code I am using to setup the toolbar.
public void setupNavBar() {
mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar_actionbar);
if (mToolbar != null) {
setSupportActionBar(mToolbar);
mActionBar = getSupportActionBar();
mActionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
mActionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
}
}
The Styles:
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
<style name="ToolBarStyle" parent="">
<item name="android:elevation">5dp</item>
<item name="popupTheme">#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light</item>
<item name="theme">#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar</item>
</style>
and the layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
style="#style/ToolBarStyle"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/material_blue_grey_800"
android:minHeight="#dimen/abc_action_bar_default_height_material"
android:id="#+id/toolbar_actionbar"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#478"
android:text="#string/hello_world" />
I thought that by calling setSupportActionbar the system would take care of positioning content below the toolbar view but that is not what I am seeing.
What is the correct way of using the toolbar. I have some activities where I wan the toolbar to be transparent with the content behind it it and others where I want it to be opaque with the content below.
Thanks

use below in textview
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#478"
android:text="#string/hello_world"
android:layout_below="#+id/toolbar_actionbar"
/>

I just encountered this same issue. I fixed it by adding these two lines in the context_main.xml file:
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:context="com.yourappname.MainActivity"
Like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/blue"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:context="com.yourappname.MainActivity"
tools:showIn="#layout/app_bar_main">
