My Toolbar
and EditText
look like this:
I tried adding it as an ActionView
but I got this result:
It basically just added my words 'Tap Below' as a title without the TextView
Here's what I did:
menu.xml
<menu>
...
...
<item
android:id="@+id/edit_text_menu"
android:orderInCategory="300"
android:title="Tap Below"
android:actionLayout="@layout/edit_text_layout"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
/>
</menu>
edit_text_layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<EditText xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/myEditText"
android:background="#000000">
</EditText>
I thought by doing this I add my EditText
layout to the Toolbar
...
Can someone please help?
Alternatively, is there a trick where I can overlay the EditText
on the Toolbar
?
I tried adding <item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
but it didn't do anything.
Just add the EditText
to the XML for your ToolBar
. That is probably the easiest way.
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/myEditText"
android:background="#000000" />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Add the EditText to the Toolbar xml.
Add the Toolbar
to your Activity's
xml layout, at the top.
Set the toolbar as ActionBar:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
}
This will make the toolbar "become" the ActionBar
with EditText
inside.
Use belove code
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
app:titleTextColor="@color/colorAccent"
app:theme="@style/ToolbarColoredBackArrow"
app:subtitleTextColor="@color/colorAccent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay">
<TextView
android:textColor="@color/colorAccent"
android:text="June 14"
android:textAllCaps="true"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_marginRight="11dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/tv_daily" />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
