I have an android toolbar and inside the toolbar I have an editText
, and the editText
is doing a margin which I don't want.
Here is a picture:
Here is the toolbar code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/toolbar_top"
android:background="@drawable/background_toolbar_top"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/buscador"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="10dp"
android:textColor="#666"
android:background="#ccc"
android:textColorHint="#cccc"
android:hint="Buscar"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Background of the toolbar:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#333"></solid>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="1dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#fff"></solid>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
The question is that why there is a blank space on the left in Toolbar
. It's Toolbar's contentInsetStart
which by default is 16dp, you can set 0 to remove it:
app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
Hope this can help:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/toolbar_top"
android:background="@drawable/background_toolbar_top"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/buscador"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:textSize="10dp"
android:textColor="#666"
android:background="#ccc"
android:textColorHint="#cccc"
android:hint="Buscar"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
And you can check this for more information about the marginLeft
in Toolbar
.
