How to Control Menu Position in Toolbar Android

问题

I want to change the gravity of my inflated menu item in android xml code but i could not find any attribute to solve the problem. i want an item in the left side and another item in right side of corner in Toolbar.

Do you have any idea guys?

Here's my present state:

Here's my menu xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/dismis"
        android:icon="@drawable/close"
        android:title="Done"
        app:showAsAction="always"></item>

    <item
        android:id="@+id/saveNote"
        android:icon="@drawable/save"
        android:title="Done"
        app:showAsAction="always"></item>


</menu>

回答1:

Use Toolbar navigation item(LEFT) for dismiss item and option menu(RIGHT) for saveNote item.

Dismiss:

You can use Toolbar navigation item as dismiss action. Set close icon as Toolbar navigation icon by using Toolbar.setNavigationIcon(). To handle the click event, add NavigationOnClickListener to Toolbar.

SaveNote:

Inflate menu XML to Toolbar using Toolbar.inflateMenu(). To handle saveNote item click event, add OnMenuItemClickListener to Toolbar.

Follow below steps:

1. Remove dismiss item from menu XML.

// menu_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/saveNote"
        android:icon="@drawable/save"
        android:title="Done"
        app:showAsAction="always">
    </item>
</menu>

2. In your activity, do below changes for dismiss and saveNote actions.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {


    // ToolBar
    Toolbar mToolBar;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        ...........
        .....................

        // ToolBar
        mToolBar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);

        // Required to use Toolbar as ActionBar
        setSupportActionBar(mToolBar);
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
        getSupportActionBar().setTitle("StackOverflow");

        // Dismiss Action
        mToolBar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.close);
        mToolBar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {

                // Do something
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Dismiss", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

        // SaveNote Action
        mToolBar.inflateMenu(R.menu.menu_main);
        mToolBar.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new Toolbar.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {

                if (item.getItemId() == R.id.saveNote)
                {
                    // Do something
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Save", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
                return true;
            }
        });


        .............
        ....................... 
    }
}

Hope this will help~
