Is it possible to set a multi-line title to a toolbar?
see below: http://i.imgur.com/iwikd69.png (the only "lorm" is the subtitle)
I am using v7.21 appcompat library. I would like to set the title on the toolbar and if it is too long then it should display as it is now (top example in the attached image), only one line and ends ... if it doesn't fit. However, I want the toolbar to expand (and then collapse accordingly) onClick (possibly animated somehow) and show the full title (bottom example)
Now I have missed a few things:
-
I don't see any method that would tell me if the name is appropriate or not. (getSupportActionBar (). isTitleTruncated () returns false even if the title doesn't fit, but maybe that's not the method I want, its not even the Toolbar class method )
-
I can't adjust the size of the toolbar programmatically (even if I could, the animation would hurt even more because I'm targeting> = api15)
Is it possible to accomplish what I want or do I need to find another solution?

create a custom toolbar here is an example
/**
* Create the Action Bar and set the Custom View to it.
* Set content insets absolute (0,0) to hide the bottom margin for Action Bar.
*
*/
public void initializeAppToolbar()
{
actionbar = getSupportActionBar();
actionbar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
actionbar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
actionbar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
actionbarView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.custom_actionbar,null);
ActionBar.LayoutParams layoutParams = new ActionBar.LayoutParams(ActionBar.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,ActionBar.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
actionbar.setCustomView(actionbarView, layoutParams);
Toolbar parent = (Toolbar) actionbarView.getParent();
parent.setContentInsetsAbsolute(0, 0);
parent.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.top_nav);
toolbar_title = (TextView)actionbarView.findViewById(R.id.toolbar_title);
// set click listener on toolbar_title.. and perform expand and collapse
// need to check this condition for lollipop and greater version
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
getWindow().setStatusBarColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.statusBarDark));
}
}
here is the custom_actionbar.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/top_nav"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/toolbar_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="Profile"
android:textColor="@android:color/white"
android:textStyle="normal"
android:textSize="24sp" />
