Toolbar title in center

If you want your title text to be in center of your toolbar, you have two simple ways to do it.

First approach:-

Remember that the Toolbar is just a ViewGroup like others. So you can simply add Views into it.

In this case, you need a TextView inside a Toolbar at center position. So, simply define a layout for your toolbar containing a textview like this:

app_bar.xml

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar

    android:id="@+id/toolbar"

    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

    android:layout_width="match_parent">

    <TextView

        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="match_parent"

        android:text="Some Fancy Title"

        android:gravity = "center"

        android:id="@+id/toolbar_title" />

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

Then just include this layout in activity's XML file like:

<include

        layout="@layout/app_bar"/>

Then, in your Java file(Activity.java) access your toolbar and textview as follows:

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);

        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);

TextView mTitle = (TextView) toolbar.findViewById(R.id.toolbar_title);

Since the textview gravity is already set to "center", it will display the text in center of the toolbar.

Second approach:-

You can just use the below method and pass your toolbar variable as parameter to it to make your title centered.

public static void centerToolbarTitle(final Toolbar toolbar) {

        final CharSequence title = toolbar.getTitle();

        final ArrayList<View> outViews = new ArrayList<>(1);

        toolbar.findViewsWithText(outViews, title, View.FIND_VIEWS_WITH_TEXT);

        if (!outViews.isEmpty()) {

            final TextView titleView = (TextView) outViews.get(0);

            titleView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);

            final Toolbar.LayoutParams layoutParams = (Toolbar.LayoutParams) titleView.getLayoutParams();

            layoutParams.width = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;

            layoutParams.setMargins(0,0,60,0);

            toolbar.requestLayout();

        }

    }

Thas'it..!!! Enjoy!!
