Title and Overflow menu in toolbar

Question

How can I add overflow menu without setSupportActionBar(toolbar) because when I'm doing like this overflow menu appears but then toolbar.setTitle(""); does not work along with other toolbar methods, and I have to setTitle and other things using getSupportActionBar();

If we have to set all things via actionbar then what is the need of toolbar?

You can try this:

toolbar.inflateMenu(R.menu.yourmenu);

For menu item click use this:

toolbar.OnMenuItemClickListener()

And dont setSupportActionBar()

what are the ways to implement the callback inside OnMenuItemClickListner, after all we can't toolbar.OnMenuItemClickListener(new ...) in the onCreate(), would be not cleaner code – blackHawk Aug 05 '17 at 19:40
to do click events just do that **switch(item.getId()){ case R.id.item: //Do stuff break; }** – Bruno Ferreira Aug 05 '17 at 19:42
yeah but should I make separate class for the callback and pass reference to it or resort to inline callback? which is good way – blackHawk Aug 05 '17 at 19:44
For me the inline is the best, but you can use the way that you want. – Bruno Ferreira Aug 05 '17 at 19:45
What about the up button? – blackHawk Aug 05 '17 at 19:48
up button is a menu button? – Bruno Ferreira Aug 05 '17 at 19:50
No its navigation up button – blackHawk Aug 05 '17 at 19:51
like ab.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); – blackHawk Aug 05 '17 at 19:52
Just set **toolbar.setNavigationIcon()** for navigationIcon and for click **toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener()**. – Bruno Ferreira Aug 05 '17 at 19:56
