Android: remove left margin from actionbar's custom layout
If you are adding the Toolbar
via XML, you can simply add XML attributes to remove content insets.
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:app="schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@color/primaryColor" android:contentInsetLeft="0dp" android:contentInsetStart="0dp" app:contentInsetLeft="0dp" app:contentInsetStart="0dp" android:contentInsetRight="0dp" android:contentInsetEnd="0dp" app:contentInsetRight="0dp" app:contentInsetEnd="0dp" />
try this:
ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar(); actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false); actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true); actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false); View customView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.main_action_bar, null); actionBar.setCustomView(customView); Toolbar parent =(Toolbar) customView.getParent(); parent.setPadding(0,0,0,0);//for tab otherwise give space in tab parent.setContentInsetsAbsolute(0,0);
I used this code in my project,good luck;
The left inset is caused by Toolbar's contentInsetStart
which by default is 16dp.
Change this to align to the keyline.
Update for support library v24.0.0:
To match the Material Design spec there's an additional attribute contentInsetStartWithNavigation
which by default is 16dp. Change this if you also have a navigation icon.
It turned out that this is part of a new Material Design Specification introduced in version 24 of Design library.

However, it is possible to remove the extra space by adding the following property to Toolbar widget.
app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"
