Move up navigation icon in toolbar to the right

I've implemented up navigation to my Navigationdrawer activity.

private void setupActionBar() {
    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    if (actionBar != null) {
        actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    }
}

But it doesnt sho up, I guess it's covered by the icon for opening the navigation drawer.

Question:

How can I position the up navigation icon either next to the drawer activity or on the right of the toolbar?icon

Solution

  • Try below code: to add your custom Back arrow icon in actionbar Right side...

    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayOptions(actionBar.getDisplayOptions()
        | ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM);
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(actionBar.getThemedContext());
imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER);
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.your_back_icon);
ActionBar.LayoutParams layoutParams = new ActionBar.LayoutParams(
        ActionBar.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
        ActionBar.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, Gravity.RIGHT
                | Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);
layoutParams.rightMargin = 50;
imageView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
actionBar.setCustomView(imageView);
