The v7 support library does not appear in your dependencies in your gradle file. The v7 support library has been deprecated. You should use androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar. See: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx. You have the dependency androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0 in your gradle file, so you'll have access to the androidx toolbar.

Thank you for your answer, Is there any way so I can use the v7 support library? – archi noris May 10 '20 at 17:08
Try the dependency `com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0`. – codebod May 10 '20 at 17:15
Gradle gives me this error "Version 28 (intended for android Pie and bellow) is the last version of the legacy support library" – archi noris May 10 '20 at 17:33
Ok. You'll have to switch to the AndroidX Toolbar or target a lower SDK with your build. – codebod May 10 '20 at 18:19

While using androidX you need to use androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar for toolbar. And add implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0' to app level gradle file.
