Where is the toolbar XML layout?

I'd like to change the toolbar height, but I searched everywhere in my app, can only found a menu XML which contains items.

I am a beginner. I've refer to other questions, they have a XML like below:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/toolbarTitle"
    android:orientation="vertical"

I confirmed no such widget in my app, but my app did show the toolbar with menu. How can I get the toolbar XML layout, then I will look for how to change its height.

Solution

  • In your values/styles.xml file change this:

    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

    To use a NoActionBar parent theme like this:

    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

    Then you will be able to use your own Toolbar in xml files.
