How to create a card toolbar using appcompat v7

Question

I want to create a toolbar like the following image as proposed in the material design guidelines:

Answer 1

You can obtain it using a Toolbar as ActionBar, a CardView and another Toolbar(standalone) inside the Card.

For the Toolbar standalone inside a Card you can use something like this:

   

        

        //......

   

Then you can inflate your menu to obtain the icon actions.

 Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) mActivity.findViewById(R.id.card_toolbar);
   if (toolbar != null) {
         //inflate your menu    
         toolbar.inflateMenu(R.menu.card_toolbar);
         toolbar.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new Toolbar.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem menuItem) {
                         //.....
                    }
                });
   }

For the toolbar used as action bar and the main layout you can use:

option1:

      //Main toolbar 

    

     //described above

Option2: An extended toolbar (as actionbar) and a CardView as described above playing with margins.
