I m trying to figure out the right way to use a custom font for the toolbar title  and center it in the toolbar  client requirement    At the moment  i m using the good old ActionBar  and I was setting the title to empty value  and using setCustomView to put my custom font TextView and center it using ActionBar LayoutParams   Is there a better way to do that  Using the new Toolbar as my ActionBar

we don t have direct access to the ToolBar title TextView so we use reflection to access it     private TextView getActionBarTextView         TextView titleTextView   null       try           Field f   mToolBar getClass   getDeclaredField  mTitleTextView            f setAccessible true           titleTextView    TextView  f get mToolBar         catch  NoSuchFieldException e          catch  IllegalAccessException e              return titleTextView

Even though adding a text view to the toolbar can solve the problem of the restriction of title styling  there is an issue with it  Since we are not adding it to a layout  we do not have too much control over its width  We can either use wrap content or match parent    Now consider a scenario where we have a searchView as a button on the right edge of the toolbar  If the title contents are more  it will go on top of the button obscuring it  There is no way of controlling this short of setting a width to the label and is something you don t want to do if you want to have a responsive design   So  here is a solution that worked for me which is slightly different from adding a textview to the toolbar  Instead of that  add the toolbar and text view to a relative layout and ensure that the text view is on top of the toolbar  Then we can use appropriate margins and make sure the text view shows up where we want it to show up   Make sure you set the toolbar to not show the title   Here is the XML for this solution    lt RelativeLayout                     android orientation  horizontal                      android layout width  match parent                      android layout height  wrap content                      android background   attr colorPrimary  gt                        lt android support v7 widget Toolbar                         android theme   style ThemeOverlay AppCompat Dark                          android id    id activity toolbar                          android layout width  match parent                          android layout height   attr actionBarSize                          android background   attr colorPrimary                          android titleTextAppearance   style AppTheme TitleTextView                          android layout marginRight  40dp                          android layoutMode  clipBounds  gt                            lt android support v7 widget SearchView                             android id    id search view                              android layout width  wrap content                              android layout height  wrap content                              android layout gravity  right                              android layout centerVertical  true                              android layout alignParentRight  true                              android foregroundTint   color white    gt                           lt  android support v7 widget Toolbar gt                        lt TextView                         android id    id toolbar title                          android layout width  match parent                          android layout height  wrap content                          android layout marginRight  90dp                          android text   string app name                          android textSize   dimen title text size                          android textColor   color white                          android lines  1                          android layout marginLeft  72dp                          android layout centerVertical  true    gt                    lt  RelativeLayout gt    Solves the issue  ankur-chaudhary mentioned above

As I see it you have two options   1  Edit the toolbar XML  When your Toolbar is added in the XML it usually looks like that    lt android support v7 widget Toolbar     android id    id toolbar      android layout width  match parent      android layout height   attr actionBarSize      android elevation  4dp      app popupTheme   style AppTheme PopupOverlay   gt    if you want to customize it just remove the     in the end and make it like that    lt android support v7 widget Toolbar             android id    id toolbar              android layout width  match parent              android layout height   attr actionBarSize              android elevation  4dp              app popupTheme   style AppTheme PopupOverlay  gt                lt android support constraint ConstraintLayout                 android layout width  match parent                  android layout height  match parent  gt                    lt ImageView                     android id    id toolbar iv                      android layout width  30dp                      android layout height  30dp                      android src   mipmap ic launcher                      app layout constraintBottom toBottomOf  parent                      app layout constraintLeft toLeftOf  parent                      app layout constraintTop toTopOf  parent    gt                    lt TextView                     android id    id toolbar tv                      android layout width  wrap content                      android layout height  match parent                      android layout marginLeft  20dp                      android gravity  center                      app layout constraintBottom toBottomOf  parent                      app layout constraintLeft toRightOf    id toolbar iv                      app layout constraintTop toTopOf  parent    gt                lt  android support constraint ConstraintLayout gt           lt  android support v7 widget Toolbar gt    that way you can have a toolbar and customize the textview and the logo   2  Programrticly change the native textview and icon   Toolbar toolbar    Toolbar  findViewById R id toolbar   setSupportActionBar toolbar   getSupportActionBar   setIcon R drawable ic question mark   getSupportActionBar   setTitle  Title      make sure your toolbar is not null before you set anything in it

Setting android gravity  center  worked for me  No styling nothing  Toolbar is basically a ViewGroup all you need to do is set gravity of elements in it            lt android support v7 widget Toolbar             android id    id htab toolbar              android layout width  match parent              android layout height   attr actionBarSize              android layout gravity  top              android background   color partial transparent              android gravity  center              app layout collapseMode  pin              app layout scrollFlags  scroll enterAlways              app popupTheme   style ThemeOverlay AppCompat Light    gt

I don t know if anything changed in the appcompat library but it s fairly trivial  no need for reflection   Toolbar toolbar    Toolbar  findViewById R id toolbar   setSupportActionBar toolbar       loop through all toolbar children right after setting support     action bar because the text view has no id assigned     also make sure that the activity has some title here    because calling setText   with an empty string actually    removes the text view from the toolbar  TextView toolbarTitle   null  for  int i   0  i  lt  toolbar getChildCount      i        View child   toolbar getChildAt i           assuming that the title is the first instance of TextView        you can also check if the title string matches     if  child instanceof TextView            toolbarTitle    TextView child          break

Since android support v7 appcompat 24 2 Toolbar has method setTitleTextAppearance and you can set its font without external textview   create new style in styles xml   lt style name  RobotoBoldTextAppearance  gt           lt item name  android fontFamily  gt  font roboto condensed bold lt  item gt   lt  style gt    and use it  mToolbar setTitleTextAppearance this  R style RobotoBoldTextAppearance

To use a custom title in your Toolbar all you need to do is remember is that Toolbar is just a fancy ViewGroup so you can add a custom title like so    lt 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   gt          lt TextView         android layout width  wrap content          android layout height  wrap content          android text  Toolbar Title          android layout gravity  center          android id    id toolbar title    gt         lt  android support v7 widget Toolbar gt    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
