How to Add a Toolbar – Android Studio Tutorial
In this video we will learn, how we can replace the default action bar with a toolbar, which is more customizable and more flexible. We will define it in a seperate xml file so we can include it into different other layouts. We will also change it’s theme so the text and menu icon are white instead of black.

Hello! Best tutorial! I have problem. How i can change text in toolbar (Toolbar Example)? i don"t understand.
Take care sir !!!

Help please?!
app/src/main/res/values-v21/styles.xml:4: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar'.
My title is not showing?
you are the best
Sir how to set title in center
If anyone wasn't able to get this to work make sure you add the onCreateOptionsMenu in the main activity and also create a new directory called menu with a new resource file and copy in the code listed in his example_menu.xml file
I think you should put the toolbar inside appBar layout. By default it will enable elevation. Because you can't add elevation yourself below api 21, it is deprecated. Rest of this the tutoria is quite good.
you're just fantastic!
I found this tutorial awesome, but my native language is spanish and i understand some English, i think the speaker should strive to talk with a better Englgish pronunciation.
Great video editing, it really explains better
obsolete method

Excellent tutorial, love the proactive tips to prevent bad habits (reusable layout example). I've see those kinds of mistakes all too much (even in large corporate environments).

But how do we know what "@ style / ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" is color, since we can't see what color they contain sir ??
Are we have to memorize it, or can we simply create a new style that we desire?
