Android v7 Toolbar button alignment


I added android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar in my app using below code, now I want to show a button in the right end of the toolbar, but not able to do so.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@color/accent_color"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    tools:context=".MyActivity"
    android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar">

    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/showevents"
        android:textSize="12sp"
        android:background="@null"
        android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:textColor="@color/white"
        android:text="UPCOMING \nEVENTS"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

I have added the below shown too but its not getting moved to right.

android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"

Solution

  • You should add android:layout_gravity="end" for your Button :

        <Button
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="end"
            android:id="@+id/showevents"
            android:textSize="12sp"
            android:background="@null"
            android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:textColor="#FFF"
            android:text="UPCOMING \nEVENTS"/>
