LinearLayout inside a ToolBar is not matching parent

Question

I put a LinearLayout1 in the ToolBar.Then another 5 LinearLayouts in the LinearLayout1. Each child LinearLayout has an ImageView. Here my problem is that the LinearLayout1 is not matching parent width.That I have showed in the image(in red circle). The black color is the background that I have given to the ToolBar.

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/featured_bottomToolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom"
    android:background="#000000"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">


    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <LinearLayout
            android:orientation="horizontal"

                android:src="@drawable/menu_black_featured"
                android:id="@+id/imageView" />
        </LinearLayout>

Are you using a toolbar to manually create a tabhost? – Tim Jan 19 '16 at 10:57 — Tim, Jan 19 '16 at 10:57

Add the following properties to your Toolbar element.

app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"

Default value of contentInsetStart is 16dp. You would need to set it to 0.

Try calling:

mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.featured_bottomToolbar);
mToolbar.setContentInsetsAbsolute(0, 0);

on your Toolbar instance.

You also need to do:

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);

It's useless and crashes if you use own toolbar. – SoftDesigner Apr 19 '17 at 09:53
