How to replace title by logo in Android Toolbar?

I want to replace the title in my Toolbar by a logo like Twitter App.

I think we can replace this programmatically like that :

mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.app_toolbar);
mToolbar.setLogo(R.drawable.ic_logo);

But I want to replace it directly in my XML toolBar declaration, but I can't see the property app:logo or android:logo.

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/app_toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
    app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
    app:theme="@style/MyCustomToolBarTheme" />

Please help me, thank you.

A toolbar contains a ViewGroup that you can populate with whatever views you wish --- you can add an ImageView there if you want a logo. Example:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
    >
    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_logo"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

If you manually attach it to AppCompatActivity or ActionBar activity, it "becomes" an ActionBar, and then has to be manipulated using those code functions.

If you check source code of Toolbar and Toolbar's custom attributes, there are only a few attributes you can use to customize Toolbar, but logo is not one of them:

  • titleTextAppearance
  • subtitleTextAppearance
  • navigationIcon
  • ...

Toolbar.setLogo(resId) seems to be the only option at the moment.
