Toolbar height on Lollipop is too big
android, android-appcompat, android-toolbar
Solution
Ok I found the solution for this finally,
When you have a translucent Status Bar and you don't want your toolbar to go below the status bar, but instead stay in the position where the original "ActionBar" was, you'll need to set it to the following
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
But this causes the problem I described above when setting it directly on the ToolBar, so instead I wrapped the toolbar in
<FrameLayout />
and set the
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
on the FrameLayout not the Toolbar
Problem
I have an app implementing AppCompat v7 toolbar, The height of this toolbar on Lollipop is twice as big as on Androids < 5.0 Update: I'll add screenshots from Kitkat and Lollipop now Toolbar xml is as follows: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/toolbar" android:fitsSystemWindows="true" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize" theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar" > <LinearLayout android:padding="0dp" android:layout_margin="0dp" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="right|center_vertical"> <TextView android:id="@+id/action_bar_restaurant_label" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/restaurant_label_action_bar_margin_start" android:layout_weight="1" android:alpha="0" android:ellipsize="end" android:gravity="left" android:singleLine="true" android:textColor="@color/white" android:textSize="@dimen/restaurant_label_action_bar_font_size" /> <ImageButton android:id="@+id/shuffle_restaurant" android:layout_width="40dp" android:layout_height="40dp" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_marginRight="7dp" android:layout_weight="0" android:background="@color/transparent" android:scaleType="fitXY" android:src="@drawable/shuffle_button" /> </LinearLayout> </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar> ``` My layout is as follows: ``` <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout android:id="@+id/drawer_layout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/container" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <include layout="@layout/toolbar" /> <include layout="@layout/activity_content" /> </FrameLayout> <ListView android:id="@+id/list_slidermenu" android:layout_width="240dp" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_gravity="start" android:background="@color/list_background" android:choiceMode="singleChoice" android:divider="@color/list_divider" android:dividerHeight="1dp" android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector" android:paddingTop="50dp" /> </android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout> ``` Screenshot:
