Samsung devices show extra gap in front of actionbar home button

Looks like it is a bug, but Galaxy S5 and Note 2 add an extra space in front of home drawable when setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled() is set to false

Solution

  • We finished by enabling home as up indicator as the following:

    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

    but then hiding it inside styles.xml:

    <item name="android:homeAsUpIndicator">@null</item>
