4.In the Activity,write as below:

 Toolbar mytoolbar=(Toolbar)findViewById(R.id.mytoolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(mytoolbar);

To customize your title font:

fontPath = "Fonts/Roboto-Light.ttf";
    Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getActivity().getAssets(), fontPath);

TextView tv_ins=(TextView)FindViewById(R.id.toolbar_title);
 tv_ins.setText("mytitle");
tv_ins.setTypeface(tf);
