Answer 1

One thing is that by default title and app icon set into the left and other than icons sent into the right side. If you want to add your icons into the left side there is a way to them into to left side which is:

step 1. create a custom layout which having search, setting icon and your title as you want.

step 2. create a toolBar layout like:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
                android:id="@+id/toolbar"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
                android:titleTextColor="#ffffff"
                android:background="#ECA539"
                app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
                app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>

step 3. inflate your custom layout into the toolbar like:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
initToolbar();

}
private void initToolBar() {
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
    View customlayout= getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.custom_layout, null);
    toolbar.addView(logo);
}
