Answer 1

you have to change the theme in manifests its actually explained well in android developer website ... review this link https://developer.android.com/training/appbar/setting-up#java

Answer 2

you will try this in xml

android:layout_centerhorizontal="true"

Answer 3

you will have to create a custom theme and set the style of window title to suit your needs.
This has some guideline http://labs.makemachine.net/2010/03/custom-android-window-title/

You could also use FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE and set format accordingly. This approach is detailed here.

Answer 4

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:

<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="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Toolbar Title"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:id="@+id/toolbar_title" />


    </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

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);

Answer 5

please set your layout and textview gravity to center if it is not working then try textview layoutGravity to center
