android:theme toolbar,android - AppCompat Toolbar: set toolbar theme from upper theme - Stack Overfl...

If I understand the question correctly, you want to set your app's theme once and apply all the styling to all the Toolbars in every activity/fragment.

If so, I would recommend this approach:

@color/MyColorPrimaryText

@color/MyColorWindowBackground

@color/MyColorPrimary

@color/MyColorPrimaryDark

@color/MyColorAccent

@color/MyColorControlNormal

@color/MyColorControlHighlight

@style/MyToolbar

true

@color/MyColorPrimaryDark

match_parent

wrap_content

@dimen/MyToolbarMinHeight

center_vertical

@color/MyColorPrimary

10dp

@style/MyToolbarTheme

@color/MyColorPrimaryText

@color/MyToolbarColorControlNormal

@color/MyToolbarColorControlHighlight

Then in your manifest:

android:name=".MyApp"

android:theme="@style/MyTheme">

Then in your activity layout files, include the toolbar with:

style="?attr/toolbarStyle"

So myActivity1.xml layout file would look like this:

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

android:orientation="vertical"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent">

android:id="@+id/appBar"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

style="?attr/toolbarStyle" />

And notice that to change the navigation back button color or the overflow button colors, you can set:

@color/MyColorControlNormal

@color/MyColorControlHighlight

And:

@color/MyColorPrimaryText

Can be used to update the actionbar text color but you'd define it in the Toolbar theme.

Hope this helps.
