I implemented a drawer navigation using fragments. After implementing it following the google tutorials, the hamburger icon appears on the left as it should. However when I make a change to my toolbar xml to add textview at the center, it gets moved to the left, I assume by the drawer toggle but I don't see it anywhere in my xml or main.java. This is what I have for my mainActivity class onCreate method where the nav bar is set up i think (again i used the drawer activity class):
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
}
And this is my XML for the app bar, app_bar_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<include layout="@layout/content_main" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
I've also attached some images to show what I mean happens. The first image is the layout of the app_bar_main.xml and the second image is how it looks when the app runs and the drawer hamburger icon is set. app_bar_main.xml layout. The app during runtime, with the title now shifted left.
What I really need help with is: 1) How to center the title whilst taking into account the space the toggle bar takes up (not just a few pixels to the left since it might change with screen size?)
2)How do I find the toggle button, and where its placed in the action bar and modify it? If I wanted to move it to the right instead or somewhere else is that possible?
Thank you so much for any help, or suggestions!
