How to set an icon at the end of Toolbar

Question

I want to set an icon at the the end of my Toolbar,which start another activity. My Toolbar portion

Answer 1

If there's anyone that still confused (including me before), somehow android studio doesn't provide autocomplete for the android:layout_gravity under the toolbar tag. So to make it works, just copy and paste android:layout_gravity="end" to the ImageView/layout.

Answer 2

If you want something like this (icon 2)

You do not need add icon to the layout manually, you should to implement menu.xml

1. Create menu.xml like this

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
       <item android:id="@+id/new_activity"
           android:icon="@drawable/ic_custom_icon"
           android:title="@string/new_activity" />
   </menu>
   

2. Add it in your activity/fragment to the actionbar/toolbar by

   @Override
   public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
      MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
      inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
      return true;
   }
   

3. Handle menu items events

Toolbar with menus works fine, it sets icons to the right of toolbar automatically

Answer 3

<item
    android:title="kjljk"
    app:showAsAction="always"
    android:id="@+id/menuitem_search"
    android:icon="@drawable/pdficon"
    >
</item>

Then in OnCreateView: setHasOptionsMenu(true); Closing the OncreateView below write this: @Override

public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.pdf, menu);
    ...
}

Answer 4

Try adding this to your ImageView:

android:layout_gravity="end"

Answer 5

Setting the orderInCategory will set the order of the menu item

 <item 
    ...
      android:orderInCategory="150"
      app:showAsAction="always"
    ..
    />

if you want to put margin between your menu items you can add an empty menu item in between
