How to add custom buttons to the ToolBar

Question

I'm new to Android development and need some help :) I just wanted to add custom buttons to toolbar right.

I saw few solutions with LinearLayouts and etc... But i'm not sure is it right way to do this.

Already checked Material design and found TopBar but don't think this is what i need :p

Create custom toolbar (toolbar.xml), you can use LinearLayout to house your custom design:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="100dp">

            <LinearLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:gravity="right">

                <Button
                    android:id="@+id/button"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
            </LinearLayout>
    </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

Include custom toolbar into your activity.xml:

<include
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   layout="@layout/toolbar" />

To access Button :

Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);


button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                //Your logic  
            }
        });
