Answer 1

You don't need a Toolbar for this. Just use a theme like Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar with ActionBar in your activity and use the following code:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    if (getSupportActionBar() != null) {
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM);
        getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(R.layout.actionbar_layout);
    }
    //your code
}
