To use the Support Library your App theme needs to extend a Theme.AppCompat style.

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>

And in the Manifest

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.android.app">

    <application
        ...
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
            ...
    </application>
</manifest>

And you are also recreating the Toolbar yourself with LinearLayouts. The purpose of the new Toolbar is to be able to be included in the layout and still offer the back/menu button and options menu functionality.

You should include the Toolbar in your layout like its explained here

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/my_toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    android:elevation="4dp"
    android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar"
    app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>
