Android title and home button as single back button

Question

How to achieve the same result as in standard android messaging application, where the back button is united with the title:

Would you consider using a custom toolbar view? – Ashkan Ghodrat Dec 18 '15 at 00:42 — Ashkan Ghodrat, Dec 18 '15 at 00:42

Simply set the button to go back to the previous activity/intent. If this isn't what you wanted, I'm not sure I understood your question properly.

Use Android: Go back to previous activity if that's what you wanted.

the question is how to make the back button have both image and title. – Dmitrii G. Dec 18 '15 at 00:29
Well, I'm not an android expert yet, so I am not sure if the first suggestion will be possible; but it seems that there are two options. 1: put an image and text inside the button or 2: Make two buttons (one with the image and one with the text you want) and put them right next to each other using a linear layout or possibly even overlap them (maybe absolute layout?) – Theyna Dec 18 '15 at 00:38

<Button
android:id="@+id/back"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="16dp"
android:text="set_your_title"
android:drawableLeft="@android:drawable/back"
android:textSize="24sp"/>

You can set the layout width according to your layout requirements.
