Replace android:layout_height in the RelativeLayout:

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Hmm...Just a wild guess...what happens if you add the following into your theme.xml: true – IPat May 15 '16 at 23:11

I have followed that. But the question is why this code is not working? – Sajal Ali May 15 '16 at 22:54
No sir you have not, you have attempted to perform witchcraft to re-invent the wheel: `this.getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.custom_title);` Use instead: `Toolbar myToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_toolbar); setSupportActionBar(myToolbar);` – apelsoczi May 16 '16 at 00:07
