Toolbar

public class Toolbar
extends ViewGroup

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.view.View
     ↳ android.view.ViewGroup
       ↳ android.widget.Toolbar


A standard toolbar for use within application content.

A Toolbar is a generalization of action bars for use within application layouts. While an action bar is traditionally part of an Activity's opaque window decor controlled by the framework, a Toolbar may be placed at any arbitrary level of nesting within a view hierarchy. An application may choose to designate a Toolbar as the action bar for an Activity using the setActionBar() method.

Toolbar supports a more focused feature set than ActionBar. From start to end, a toolbar may contain a combination of the following optional elements:

  • A navigation button. This may be an Up arrow, navigation menu toggle, close, collapse, done or another glyph of the app's choosing. This button should always be used to access other navigational destinations within the container of the Toolbar and its signified content or otherwise leave the current context signified by the Toolbar. The navigation button is vertically aligned within the Toolbar's minimum height, if set.
  • A branded logo image. This may extend to the height of the bar and can be arbitrarily wide.
  • A title and subtitle. The title should be a signpost for the Toolbar's current position in the navigation hierarchy and the content contained there. The subtitle, if present should indicate any extended information about the current content. If an app uses a logo image it should strongly consider omitting a title and subtitle.
  • One or more custom views. The application may add arbitrary child views to the Toolbar. They will appear at this position within the layout. If a child view's LayoutParams indicates a Gravity value of CENTER_HORIZONTAL the view will attempt to center within the available space remaining in the Toolbar after all other elements have been measured.
  • An action menu. The menu of actions will pin to the end of the Toolbar offering a few frequent, important or typical actions along with an optional overflow menu for additional actions. Action buttons are vertically aligned within the Toolbar's minimum height, if set.

In modern Android UIs developers should lean more on a visually distinct color scheme for toolbars than on their application icon. The use of application icon plus title as a standard layout is discouraged on API 21 devices and newer.

Protected methods

checkLayoutParams

Added in API level 21
protected boolean checkLayoutParams (ViewGroup.LayoutParams p)

Parameters
p ViewGroup.LayoutParams

Returns
boolean

generateDefaultLayoutParams

Added in API level 21
protected Toolbar.LayoutParams generateDefaultLayoutParams ()

Returns a set of default layout parameters. These parameters are requested when the View passed to addView(android.view.View) has no layout parameters already set. If null is returned, an exception is thrown from addView.

Returns
Toolbar.LayoutParams a set of default layout parameters or null

generateLayoutParams

Added in API level 21
protected Toolbar.LayoutParams generateLayoutParams (ViewGroup.LayoutParams p)

Returns a safe set of layout parameters based on the supplied layout params. When a ViewGroup is passed a View whose layout params do not pass the test of checkLayoutParams(android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams), this method is invoked. This method should return a new set of layout params suitable for this ViewGroup, possibly by copying the appropriate attributes from the specified set of layout params.

Parameters
p ViewGroup.LayoutParams: The layout parameters to convert into a suitable set of layout parameters for this ViewGroup.

Returns
Toolbar.LayoutParams an instance of ViewGroup.LayoutParams or one of its descendants

onAttachedToWindow

Added in API level 21
protected void onAttachedToWindow ()

This is called when the view is attached to a window. At this point it has a Surface and will start drawing. Note that this function is guaranteed to be called before onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas), however it may be called any time before the first onDraw -- including before or after onMeasure(int, int).
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onDetachedFromWindow

Added in API level 21
protected void onDetachedFromWindow ()

This is called when the view is detached from a window. At this point it no longer has a surface for drawing.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onLayout

Added in API level 21
protected void onLayout (boolean changed, 
                int l, 
                int t, 
                int r, 
                int b)

Called from layout when this view should assign a size and position to each of its children. Derived classes with children should override this method and call layout on each of their children.

Parameters
changed boolean: This is a new size or position for this view

l int: Left position, relative to parent

t int: Top position, relative to parent

r int: Right position, relative to parent

b int: Bottom position, relative to parent

onMeasure

Added in API level 21
protected void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, 
                int heightMeasureSpec)

Measure the view and its content to determine the measured width and the measured height. This method is invoked by measure(int, int) and should be overridden by subclasses to provide accurate and efficient measurement of their contents.

CONTRACT: When overriding this method, you must call setMeasuredDimension(int, int) to store the measured width and height of this view. Failure to do so will trigger an IllegalStateException, thrown by measure(int, int). Calling the superclass' onMeasure(int, int) is a valid use.

The base class implementation of measure defaults to the background size, unless a larger size is allowed by the MeasureSpec. Subclasses should override onMeasure(int, int) to provide better measurements of their content.

If this method is overridden, it is the subclass's responsibility to make sure the measured height and width are at least the view's minimum height and width (getSuggestedMinimumHeight() and getSuggestedMinimumWidth()).

Parameters
widthMeasureSpec int: horizontal space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec.

heightMeasureSpec int: vertical space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec.

onRestoreInstanceState

Added in API level 21
protected void onRestoreInstanceState (Parcelable state)

Hook allowing a view to re-apply a representation of its internal state that had previously been generated by onSaveInstanceState(). This function will never be called with a null state.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
state Parcelable: The frozen state that had previously been returned by onSaveInstanceState().

onSaveInstanceState

Added in API level 21
protected Parcelable onSaveInstanceState ()

Hook allowing a view to generate a representation of its internal state that can later be used to create a new instance with that same state. This state should only contain information that is not persistent or can not be reconstructed later. For example, you will never store your current position on screen because that will be computed again when a new instance of the view is placed in its view hierarchy.

Some examples of things you may store here: the current cursor position in a text view (but usually not the text itself since that is stored in a content provider or other persistent storage), the currently selected item in a list view.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Returns
Parcelable Returns a Parcelable object containing the view's current dynamic state, or null if there is nothing interesting to save.
