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
To use a custom title in your Toolbar you can add a custom title like :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:elevation="5dp"
app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark">
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/lnrTitle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/txvHeader"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
android:gravity="center"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLines="1"
android:text="Header"
android:textColor="@color/white"
android:textSize="18sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Java Code:
Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
if (getSupportActionBar() == null)
return;
getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Title");
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
I spent several days searching for a universal solution. My toolbar working with android menu and nav icon.
At first, you need create custom toolbar class. This class must have calculate title centered positions (paddings):
class CenteredToolbar @JvmOverloads constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null, defStyleAttr: Int = 0)
: Toolbar(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {
init {
addOnLayoutChangeListener(object : View.OnLayoutChangeListener {
override fun onLayoutChange(v: View?, left: Int, top: Int, right: Int, bottom: Int, oldLeft: Int, oldTop: Int, oldRight: Int, oldBottom: Int) {
val titleTextView = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.centerTitle)
val x = titleTextView.x.toInt()
val x2 = x + titleTextView.width
val fullWidth = width
val fullCenter = fullWidth / 2
val offsetLeft = Math.abs(fullCenter - x)
val offsetRight = Math.abs(x2 - fullCenter)
val differOffset = Math.abs(offsetLeft - offsetRight)
if (offsetLeft > offsetRight) {
titleTextView.setPadding(differOffset, 0, 0, 0)
} else if (offsetRight > offsetLeft) {
titleTextView.setPadding(0, 0, differOffset, 0)
}
removeOnLayoutChangeListener(this)
}
})
}
override fun setTitle(resId: Int) = getTitleView().setText(resId)
override fun setTitle(title: CharSequence?) = getTitleView().setText(title)
fun getTitleView(): TextView = findViewById(R.id.centerTitle)
}
Secondly, you need create layout toolbar:
<CenteredToolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/toolbar">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/centerTitle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</CenteredToolbar>
That's all
This's just to help to join all pieces using @MrEngineer13 answer with @Jonik and @Rick Sanchez comments with the right order to help to achieve title centered easly!!
The layout with TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title
:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/toolbar_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
style="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
The way to achieve with the right order:
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
TextView mTitle = (TextView) toolbar.findViewById(R.id.toolbar_title);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
mTitle.setText(toolbar.getTitle());
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);

Here is a sample project ToolbarCenterTitleSample
Hope to help somebody else ;)
Here is title text dependant approach to find TextView
instance from Toolbar
.
public static TextView getToolbarTitleView(ActionBarActivity activity, Toolbar toolbar){
ActionBar actionBar = activity.getSupportActionBar();
CharSequence actionbarTitle = null;
if(actionBar != null)
actionbarTitle = actionBar.getTitle();
actionbarTitle = TextUtils.isEmpty(actionbarTitle) ? toolbar.getTitle() : actionbarTitle;
if(TextUtils.isEmpty(actionbarTitle)) return null;
// can't find if title not set
for(int i= 0; i < toolbar.getChildCount(); i++){
View v = toolbar.getChildAt(i);
if(v != null && v instanceof TextView){
TextView t = (TextView) v;
CharSequence title = t.getText();
if(!TextUtils.isEmpty(title) && actionbarTitle.equals(title) && t.getId() == View.NO_ID){
//Toolbar does not assign id to views with layout params SYSTEM, hence getId() == View.NO_ID
//in same manner subtitle TextView can be obtained.
return t;
}
}
}
return null;
}
Layout:
<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" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Toolbar Title"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center"
android:id="@+id/toolbar_title" />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Code:
Toolbar mToolbar = parent.findViewById(R.id.toolbar_top);
TextView mToolbarCustomTitle = parent.findViewById(R.id.toolbar_title);
//setup width of custom title to match in parent toolbar
mToolbar.postDelayed(new Runnable()
{
@Override
public void run ()
{
int maxWidth = mToolbar.getWidth();
int titleWidth = mToolbarCustomTitle.getWidth();
int iconWidth = maxWidth - titleWidth;
if (iconWidth > 0)
{
//icons (drawer, menu) are on left and right side
int width = maxWidth - iconWidth * 2;
mToolbarCustomTitle.setMinimumWidth(width);
mToolbarCustomTitle.getLayoutParams().width = width;
}
}
}, 0);
Without toolbar TextView we can customize font by using below code
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
or
getActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
public void updateActionbar(String title){
SpannableString spannableString = new SpannableString(title);
spannableString.setSpan(new TypefaceSpanString(this, "futurastdmedium.ttf"),
0, spannableString.length(),
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
mToolbar.setTitle(spannableString);
}
