I would like to have a bigger action bar. So I change the action bar size in the style, and now I am looking for changing the icon size and put the text bigger also.

Here is my style :

<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:textSize">22sp</item>
    <item name="android:actionBarSize">100dp</item>
    <item name="android:actionBarTabTextStyle">@style/MyActionBarTabText</item>
    <item name="android:actionButtonStyle">@style/MyActionButtonStyle</item>
</style>

<style name="MyActionButtonStyle" parent="android:style/Widget.ActionButton">
    <item name="android:layout_width">fill_parent</item> 
</style>

<style name="MyActionBarTabText" parent="android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar.TabText">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">25dp</item>
</style>

And my menu for the actionBar (menu.xml) : 

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/app_setting"
        android:title="@string/app_setting"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_setting"
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
</menu>

And In the main class : 

@Override
 public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
    return true;
}

The result I have and would like Also, I tried several questions, but I was not able to make it work.

While importing the icon from Vector Asset, setting the size depending on your requirement will do the job.

The best solution is to implement Toolbar in your layout and put TextView and define attributes on it. Here is my solution.

  • activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay"
        tools:ignore="MissingConstraints">

        <androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.MyTest"
            app:popupTheme="@style/Theme.MyTest">

            <LinearLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:gravity="center_vertical"
                android:orientation="horizontal">

                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="@string/app_name"
android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar.Title"
                    android:textColor="@color/white"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/title_size" />
            </LinearLayout>

        </androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar>
    </com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>

    <com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="0dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="0dp"
        android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:menu="@menu/bottom_nav_menu" />

    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/nav_host_fragment"
        android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:defaultNavHost="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/nav_view"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:navGraph="@navigation/mobile_navigation" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Here is styles which used in Toolbar attribute.

  • values\style.xml
...
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
<style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
...

With this way, you will have chance to change the Title color and size as you want.
