if you are using custom toolbar or ActionBar and you want to get reference of your toolbar action bar from Fragments then you need to first get instance of your Main Activity from Fragment s onCreateView Method like below   MainActivity activity    MainActivity  getActivity      then use activity for further implementation like below  ImageView vRightBtn   activity toolbar findViewById R id toolbar right btn     Before calling this  you need to initialize your custom toolbar in your MainActivity as below   First set define your toolbar public like  public Toolbar toolbar  public ActionBar actionBar    and in onCreate   Method assign the custom toolbar id  toolbar   findViewById R id custom toolbar   setSupportActionBar toolbar   actionBar   getSupportActionBar      That s It  It will work in Fragment

I did it by using these steps    Set Title using below code in onCreateView of the main fragment      AppCompatActivity  getActivity    getSupportActionBar   setTitle  Your title        For swapping between fragments i m using bottom navigation bar which is implemented on MainActivity  Parent Activity  of the fragment  Even if you are using any button or menu item then you can change the title from onSelectedItemClickListener  just like i did in my case   public boolean onNavigationItemSelected  NonNull MenuItem menuItem        switch  menuItem getItemId             case R id menu dashboard              getSupportActionBar   setTitle  Dashboard                fm beginTransaction   hide active  show dashboardFragment  commit                active   dashboardFragment              return true          case R id menu workshop              getSupportActionBar   setTitle  Workshops                fm beginTransaction   hide active  show workshopFragment  commit                active   workshopFragment              return true              return false

In case fragments should have custom view of ToolBar you can implement ToolBar for each fragment separately   add ToolBar into fragment layout    lt android support v7 widget Toolbar     xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      android id    id toolbar      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content      android background   attr colorPrimaryDark   gt    find it in fragment    Override     public View onCreateView LayoutInflater inflater  ViewGroup container                               Bundle savedInstanceState            View view   inflater inflate R layout fragment  container  false           Toolbar toolbar    Toolbar  view findViewById R id toolbar              set toolbar appearance         toolbar setBackground R color material blue grey 800              for crate home button         AppCompatActivity activity    AppCompatActivity  getActivity            activity setSupportActionBar toolbar           activity getSupportActionBar   setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled true       menu listener could be created two ways  override onOptionsItemSelected in your fragment    Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected MenuItem item        switch item getItemId             case android R id home              getActivity   onBackPressed              return super onOptionsItemSelected item       or set listener for toolbar when create it in onCreateView     toolbar setOnMenuItemClickListener new Toolbar OnMenuItemClickListener                  Override             public boolean onMenuItemClick MenuItem menuItem                    return false

You need to cast your activity from getActivity   to AppCompatActivity first  Here s an example     AppCompatActivity  getActivity    getSupportActionBar   setTitle      The reason you have to cast it is because getActivity   returns a FragmentActivity and you need an AppCompatActivity  In Kotlin    activity as AppCompatActivity  supportActionBar  title    My Title
