Android toolbar center title and custom font

提问by Mathbl

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).

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 setCustomViewto 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.

To use a custom title in your Toolbarall you need to do is remember is that Toolbaris just a fancy ViewGroup so you can add a custom title like so:

This means that you can style the TextViewhowever you would like because it's just a regular TextView. So in your activity you can access the title like so:

The ToolBar title is stylable. Any customization you make has to be made in the theme. I'll give you an example.

we don't have direct access to the ToolBar title TextView so we use reflection to access it.

You still need these 2 lines of code in your Activity(as with standard Toolbar):

You still need these 2 lines of code in your Activity(as with standard Toolbar):

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewByid(R.id.toolbar); // note that your activity doesn't need to know that it is actually a custom Toolbar
setSupportActionBar(binding.toolbar);

That's it! You don't need to hide the standard left-aligned title, don't need to duplicate the same XML code over and over, etc., just use CenteredToolbarlike if it was default Toolbar. You can also set your custom font programatically since you now have direct access to the TextView. Hope this helps.
