Add button in android action bar

Question

I trying to add a button beside HealthyApp, but no luck .

This is my initial code and image

 final ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar(); actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

I want to add a delete button beside HealthyApp but the HealthyApp title gone.

 final ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar(); actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false); actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false); LayoutInflater mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(this); View mCustomView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.header_button, null); Button mTitleTextView = (Button) mCustomView.findViewById(R.id.title_text); mTitleTextView.setText("Delete"); actionBar.setCustomView(mCustomView); actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);

delete_task

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".MainActivity"> <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar android:id="@+id/toolbar" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="#d9d9d9" android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:gravity="right" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <Button android:text="Delete" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:background="#000" android:textColor="#fff" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="16dp" /> </LinearLayout> </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar> <ImageView android:src="@mipmap/to_do" android:layout_marginTop="50dp" android:layout_width="130dp" android:layout_height="210dp" android:id="@+id/imageView" android:gravity="center" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="20dp" android:text="No List Found" android:textSize="15dp" android:textColor="@color/btn_login" android:gravity="center" android:id="@+id/NoData" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_below="@+id/imageView"/> <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <ListView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/list_todo" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" /> </RelativeLayout> </RelativeLayout>

Add toolbar inside your xml . and use NoActionBar in your activity theme .

add these toolbar in your xml on top

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar android:id="@+id/toolbar" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="#131313" android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:background="#00aaaaaa" android:layout_gravity="right" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <Button android:text="Delete" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:background="#000" android:textColor="#fff" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="16dp" /> </LinearLayout> </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

add these theme in your activity in Menifest.xml

android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"

and add these code in your activity ....

Toolbar topToolBar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); setSupportActionBar(topToolBar); ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();; actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

Output:-

OR

I think it is possible with the icon only .....

use this item in menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"> <item android:id="@+id/delete" android:icon="@drawable/YourImage" app:showAsAction="always"></item> </menu>

Note:- use android:icon="@drawable/YourImageWithTextDelete" put here your image .....

then you have to use custom Toolbar ..... include toolbar inside your xml .... and use NoActionBar in your activity theme .....
Sir, I add android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar inside my delete_task layout, but the button is added below action bar.
add this in your menifest.xml in your activity tag android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"

In your Activity layout

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar android:layout_width="match_parent" android:background="@color/YourColor" android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize" app:layout_collapseMode="pin" android:theme="@style/about_toolbar" > <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/YourText" /> <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/YourText" /> </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

In your Activity

public class YourActivity extends ActionBarActivity { private Toolbar toolbar; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.your_acticity_layout); // Set a Toolbar to replace the ActionBar. toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); toolbar.setTitle(""); setSupportActionBar(toolbar); getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); } // ... your other methods }

In your Manifest, Activity tag

<activity android:name=".YourActivity" android:label="@string/YourActivityString" android:theme="@style/YourTheme" />

In your style.xml

<style name="YourTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"> <item name="colorPrimary">...</item> <!-- declare your styles --> </style>

If you need a better code sample: Just download https://github.com/chrisbanes/cheesesquare , It has the example toolbar.
