Remove Toolbar title margin in ActionMode

I'm looking to remove the space between the navigation icon and the title of my actionMode. I managed to remove it for the toolbar thanks to:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="toolbarStyle">#style/cusToolbarStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="cusToolbarStyle" parent="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Toolbar">
<item name="titleMargin">0dp</item>
<item name="contentInsetStartWithNavigation">0dp</item>
<item name="contentInsetStart">0dp</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/white</item>
</style>
However I can not change the mode action to remove the space on the photo:

Ok, it was complex and difficult but I used LayoutInspector such as suggested to me #cgb_pandey. So I found the system identifier of the close ImageView and add the below code to the onPrepareActionMode method:
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
AppCompatImageView imageView = findViewById(com.google.android.material.R.id.action_mode_close_button);
if (imageView != null) {
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.setMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
imageView.setLayoutParams(params);
}
return false;
}

Hide system navigation bar when show DialogFragment

My app is in sticky immersive mode that the system navigation bar (I call it SNB) is hidden in running time of my app. It works well but exists one problem, it is each time I show a DialogFragment, the SNB will be appear. How can I hide it.
I have written a few line of code in my acivity class to make my app become fullscreen and sticky immersive mode.
MyActivity.java
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
hideSystemUI();
}
#Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
hideSystemUI();
}
public void hideSystemUI() {
// Enables regular immersive sticky mode.
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
);
}
MyDialog.java
public class MyDialog extends DialogFragment{
#NonNull
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
AlertDialog alertD = builder.create();
alertD.setView(view);
return alertD;
}
public void show() {
Activity activity = getActivity();
show(activity.getSupportFragmentManager(), "dialog");
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = getDialog().getWindow().getAttributes();
params.width = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
params.height = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
getDialog().getWindow().setAttributes((WindowManager.LayoutParams) params);
}
}
I followed the answer to show dialog without show SNB: https://stackoverflow.com/a/33589793/10467639 but it does not work as desired
MyDialog dialog = new MyDialog();
// Set the dialog to not focusable.
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE);
dialog.show();
// Set the dialog to focusable again.
getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE);

How can I solve this problem? Thank in advanced!

Followed this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/23207365/8531215 ,I have tested and it works fine! modify onCreateDialog() method a little bit
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
AlertDialog alertD = builder.create();
alertD.setView(view);
Dialog dialog = alertD.create();
dialog.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE);
//Show the dialog!
dialog.show();
//Set the dialog to immersive sticky mode
dialog.getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);
//Clear the not focusable flag from the window
dialog.getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE);
return alertD;
}

According to the docs here:
Implement onWindowFocusChanged(). If you gain window focus, you may want to re-hide the system bars. If you lose window focus, for example due to a dialog or pop up menu showing above your app, you'll probably want to cancel any pending "hide" operations you previously scheduled with Handler.postDelayed() or something similar.
So What I suggest you do is, change your code in MyActivity.java from:
#Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
hideSystemUI();
}
to:
#Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
if (!hasFocus){
//we lost focus due to DialogFragment
hideSystemUI();
}
}

Contextual Action Bar (CAB) does not overlay Toolbar

I am really stuck with this.
I want to use a CAB in a fragment, so I'm using
actionMode = ((MainActivity)getActivity()).startActionMode(actionModeCallbacks);
to call startActionMode
I've been changing themes and adding and testing several lines of code (together and separated) to xml styles like:
<item name="android:windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
<item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
Relevant information:
I have my toolbar defined inside and <include/>in my main activity.
Toolbar is included just before the frame of MainActivity, between that frame and the DrawerLayout, so I can use the toolbar in the fragments.
I have tested the CAB inside Main Activity, but it also gets above
the Toolbar.
I also tried a dirty workoaround toggling Toolbar visibility when CAB
is created/destroyed, but it also doesn't work!
I'm using android.view.ActionMode instead of
android.support.v7.view.ActionMode because I can't call
startActionMode if I use Support Library (?).
My toolbar (*android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar):
toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
mDrawerLayout = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
toolbar.setTitle(R.string.addWordLabel_Act);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_menu_white_24dp);

Solved
I completely forgot to check Manifest, and that was the problem!
The AppTheme was set to "Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar" instead of "AppTheme". Thus, any change I made in AppTheme didn't take effect on the App.

Change Toolbar overflow icon color

I have an android.support.v7.widget Toolbar in my Android app. The background color of this is bright orange and the best looking color on top of this would be white instead of black.
I have the default color on black and not white. Since it would conflict with other stuff, that is almost impossible to override. I cannot change the primary text color to white!
I've managed to change the title color.
What I'm looking for right now is how I can change the action button color as well (to white).
My code:
Main activity:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
tools:context=".UI.activities.MainActivity">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/r2_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:elevation="4dp"
app:titleTextColor="#color/primary_text_material_light"
app:subtitleTextColor="#color/primary_text_material_light"
android:theme="#style/R2Theme.Toolbar"/>
<fragment android:name="com.r2retail.r2retailapp.UI.fragments.SetupFragment"
android:layout_below="#+id/r2_toolbar"
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
Menu bar:
<?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/about"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_menu"
android:title="About"
app:showAsAction="never"/>
</menu>
Styles:
<resources>
<style name="R2Theme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">=
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/secondary_text_material_dark</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondaryInverse">#color/primary_text_material_light</item>
</style>
<style name="R2Theme.Toolbar" parent="R2Theme">
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#color/primary_text_material_light</item>
</style>
</resources>

In styles:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
...
<item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/MyOverflowButtonStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyOverflowButtonStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionButton.Overflow">
<item name="android:tint">#62ff00</item>
</style>
Result:

The solution is to replace icon itself.
1st
Go to values/styles and in your styles.xml file add:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/MyActionButtonOverflow</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionButtonOverflow" parent="android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionButton.Overflow">
<!--Here you need to put name of drawable you will create during the next step-->
<item name="android:src">#drawable/your_white_icon</item>
</style>
2nd
Then go to drawable folder. Right mouse click -> new -> vector asset.
Then press on Icon image and choose from suggested icon named ic_more_vert_black_24dp.
Customize it -> press next -> finish.
Then open newly created icon file. Code looks like this.
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="24dp"
android:height="24dp"
android:viewportWidth="24.0"
android:viewportHeight="24.0">
<path
android:fillColor="#FFFFFFFF" <!-- Here u can change color-->
android:pathData="M12,8c1.1,0 2,-0.9 2,-2s-0.9,-2 -2,-2 -2,0.9 -2,2 0.9,2 2,2zM12,10c-1.1,0 -2,0.9 -2,2s0.9,2 2,2 2,-0.9 2,-2 -0.9,-2 -2,-2zM12,16c-1.1,0 -2,0.9 -2,2s0.9,2 2,2 2,-0.9 2,-2 -0.9,-2 -2,-2z"/>
</vector>
Change fillColor attribute to the color you need. Put this file to the styles how described in 1st step.
Voila! Color of our three dots changed not depending on base app styles (result for #FF2012 color).

An alternative way, in code instead of XML:
public static boolean colorizeToolbarOverflowButton(#NonNull Toolbar toolbar, #ColorInt int color) {
final Drawable overflowIcon = toolbar.getOverflowIcon();
if (overflowIcon == null)
return false;
toolbar.setOverflowIcon(getTintedDrawable(toolbar.getContext(), overflowIcon, toolbarIconsColor));
return true;
}
public static Drawable getTintedDrawable(#NonNull Context context, #NonNull Drawable inputDrawable, #ColorInt int color) {
Drawable wrapDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(inputDrawable);
DrawableCompat.setTint(wrapDrawable, color);
DrawableCompat.setTintMode(wrapDrawable, Mode.SRC_IN);
return wrapDrawable;
}
The function will return true if succeeded to colorize the overflow icon.
And another alternative, in case you prefer not to use a tinted drawable:
public static boolean colorizeToolbarOverflowButton(#NonNull Toolbar toolbar, #ColorInt Integer color) {
final Drawable overflowIcon = toolbar.getOverflowIcon();
if (overflowIcon == null)
return false;
final PorterDuffColorFilter colorFilter = toolbarIconsColor == null ? null : new PorterDuffColorFilter(toolbarIconsColor, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);
overflowIcon.setColorFilter(colorFilter);
return true;
}
In addition, if you wish to colorize the icons of the action items and the nav item, you can try this (based on here):
/**
* Use this method to colorize toolbar icons to the desired target color
*
* #param toolbarView toolbar view being colored
* #param toolbarIconsColor the target color of toolbar icons
*/
#JvmStatic
#UiThread
fun colorizeToolbarActionItemsAndNavButton(toolbarView: Toolbar, #ColorInt toolbarIconsColor: Int?) {
//https://snow.dog/blog/how-to-dynamicaly-change-android-toolbar-icons-color/
val colorFilter = if (toolbarIconsColor == null) null else PorterDuffColorFilter(toolbarIconsColor, Mode.MULTIPLY)
for (i in 0 until toolbarView.childCount) {
val v = toolbarView.getChildAt(i)
//Step 1 : Changing the color of back button (or open drawer button).
if (v is ImageButton) {
//Action Bar back button
v.drawable.mutate().colorFilter = colorFilter
}
if (v is ActionMenuView) {
for (j in 0 until v.childCount) {
//Step 2: Changing the color of any ActionMenuViews - icons that
//are not back button, nor text, nor overflow menu icon.
val innerView = v.getChildAt(j)
if (innerView is ActionMenuItemView) {
val drawablesCount = innerView.compoundDrawables.size
for (k in 0 until drawablesCount) {
if (innerView.compoundDrawables[k] != null) {
innerView.post { innerView.compoundDrawables[k].mutate().colorFilter = colorFilter }
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Usage:
override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu): Boolean {
menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu)
toolbar.doOnPreDraw {
colorizeToolbarActionItemsAndNavButton(toolbar,0xffff0000.toInt())
}
return true
}

For AndroidX users (really don't know if it works using old Support Library):
TL;DR:
<style name="MyToolbarTheme">
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/white</item>
</style>
Apply MyToolbarTheme to your Toolbar view.
Long explanation:
Widget.AppCompat.ActionButton.Overflow extends Base.Widget.AppCompat.ActionButton.Overflow. We'll be talking about the latter:
On the default implementation:
<style name="Base.Widget.AppCompat.ActionButton.Overflow" parent="RtlUnderlay.Widget.AppCompat.ActionButton.Overflow">
<item name="srcCompat">#drawable/abc_ic_menu_overflow_material</item>
...
</style>
On API 21 implementation:
<style name="Base.Widget.AppCompat.ActionButton.Overflow" parent="android:Widget.Material.ActionButton.Overflow">
<item name="android:src">#null</item>
<item name="srcCompat">#drawable/abc_ic_menu_overflow_material</item>
</style>
On API 23 and higher implementation:
It extends android:Widget.Material.ActionButton.Overflow.
<style name="Widget.Material.ActionButton.Overflow">
<item name="src">#drawable/ic_menu_moreoverflow_material</item>
...
</style>
We can notice that every implementation uses #drawable/ic_menu_moreoverflow_material.
Inside this drawable's implementation you can see the following:
android:tint="?attr/colorControlNormal"

If you want to change the color of icons (Navigation icon, menu item icons) in your toolbar, you can simply use the code below. I had saved problem and solved using this.
<!--Light Theme-->
<style name="AppThemeLight" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">
<!--other colors and properties-->
<item name="iconTint">#color/colorBlack</item>
</style>
<!-- Dark/Night theme. -->
<style name="AppThemeDark" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.NoActionBar">
<!--other colors and properties-->
<item name="iconTint">#color/colorWhite</item>
</style>

If anyone's looking to change it programmatically, and the following didn't work:
mBinding.toolbar.overflowIcon?.setTint(Color.WHITE)
OR
mBinding.toolbar.overflowIcon?.setColorFilter(Color.WHITE, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP)
OR
mBinding.toolbar.overflowIcon?.colorFilter = BlendModeColorFilterCompat.createBlendModeColorFilterCompat(Color.WHITE, BlendModeCompat.SRC_ATOP)
OR
val overflowIcon = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.dots_vertical_black)
overflowIcon?.setTint(Color.WHITE)
mBinding.toolbar.overflowIcon = overflowIcon
TRY THIS.
Finally the below line worked for me (after 2 days of trial and error -_-)
mBinding.toolbar.menu?.findItem(R.id.menu)?.icon?.setTint(Color.WHITE)

How to make custom font in actionbar show up immediately

In order to change the font which is inside my actionbar, I implemented a custom TypefaceSpan class and used a SpannableString in my onCreate.
This has what I did:
How to Set a Custom Font in the ActionBar Title?
In the comments user, artwork ,said,
In the moment of starting the app, the default title style is visible
and about 1 sec later the custom style appears.
Then the guy who answered the question said
"that's because your activity's theme is being applied to the
DecorView before your code has spun up. You can work around this by
hiding the action bar in your theme, then show it as your activity is
being created."
I am not sure how to implement the following. Nor am I sure that is able to be done in my customized action bar.
And this is how I styled my actionbar:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

<item name="popupMenuStyle">#style/PopupMenu.Customaction</item>
<item name="dropDownListViewStyle">#style/DropDownListView.Customaction</item>
</style>
</resources>
This is part of what I have in my MainActivity:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//Make sure you find out why it appears after a whole 1 second after the app appears
SpannableString s = new SpannableString("GetDisciplined");
s.setSpan(new TypefaceSpan(this, "roboto-lightitalic.ttf"), 0, s.length(),
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
// Update the action bar title with the TypefaceSpan instance
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setTitle(s);
setContentView(R.layout.merge);
I am just trying to solve the problem of the Custom ActionBar Font showing up after one second by making it show up immediately, but I am unsure to achieve this.

One way you could do it (not a very nice way) is to use a custom layout for your titlebar where you use a custom textview that displays the title.
public class CustomTextView extends TextView {
private static Typeface customFont = null;
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, 0);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
if (isInEditMode()) {
return;
}
if (customFont == null) {
customFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getApplicationContext().getAssets(),
"fonts/custom_font.ttf");
}
setTypeface(customFont);
}
}
In your activity:
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.activities);
getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.custom_title);
And the title in the layout uses that CustomTextView to hold the title.
Once again, pretty messy solution, but will do what you want it to.
