I managed to fill the toolbar_item within the toolbar by adding another LinearLayout inside of the toolbar.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/toolbar_height" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:orientation="horizontal" android:background="@color/separator" > <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/toolbar" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" /> </RelativeLayout> So I essentially add the toolbar items within the LinearLayout, and it enables me to match the height and width of the parent. Even though this works, I'm still boggled as to why this way works, and not my original way. The only problem now is that I get a little padding around the items. Any ideas as to why this way works? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
