By default the Title text in the Android Toolbar is right-aligned, If you want to change it to center, you can do so by creating your own custom ToolBar,
custom_action_bar.xml<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/custom_action_bar"
android:layout_width="400dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Title in Center"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textColor="@color/white"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</LinearLayout>
Now in your Activity class, in onCreate() method add the below lines to use your own custom Toolbar.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ActionBar customActionBar = getSupportActionBar();
customActionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
customActionBar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM);
customActionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.custom_action_bar);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
