I am a brand new Android developer coming over from iOS development. All I want to do right now is launch an app with a basic Toolbar using api 21. However, when I do do, it adds the toolbar underneath a seemingly identical bar. Upon removing the toolbar, the other bar is still present. Is this default for all Android apps to have a toolbar with the app name built into the top? How do I add actions/customize this default toolbar?
Here is my xml:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/sample_main_layout"></LinearLayout>
And here is my main activity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
//toolbar.setTitle("Groups");
}
}
This is literally the extent of my project, and though I have been searching online for a while everyone says I should be using a Toolbar. If this is not a Toolbar then what is it then? I apologize for my naivety.
You should set this in your styles to hide default ActionBar.
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
In your layout, you can add ToolBar
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/main_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
And in activity
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.main_toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
