How to remove left and right padding for a toolbar?

Left and Right padding is added automatically. This is the code I used. I'm running the app on Android version 6.0.1. 

 <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:minHeight="45dp"
        app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
        app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways">

I think the best way to solve the problem is to create a custom toolbar:

First create a custom toolb:

class CustomToolbar(context: Context): androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar(context) {

    constructor(context: Context , attrs: AttributeSet): this(context)
    constructor(context: Context , attrs: AttributeSet, defStyleAttr: Int): this(context)

    override fun getContentInsetStart(): Int {
        return 0
    }

    override fun getContentInsetEnd(): Int {
        return 0
    }

    override fun getContentInsetLeft(): Int {
        return 0
    }

    override fun getContentInsetRight(): Int {
        return 0
    }

    override fun getCurrentContentInsetStart(): Int {
        return 0
    }

    override fun getCurrentContentInsetEnd(): Int {
        return 0
    }

    override fun getCurrentContentInsetLeft(): Int {
        return 0
    }

    override fun getCurrentContentInsetRight(): Int {
        return 0
    }
}

Now you can use it anywhere without any problems:

<com.example.CustomToolbar
   android:id="@+id/toolbar"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="?actionBarSize">
  //your views or layouts
</com.example.CustomToolbar>

Note that com.example is my package name and you must replace your project package name.

Try setting contentInsetStartWithNavigation to 0dp as well. Like contentInsetStart, contentInsetStartWithNavigation also is 16dp by default. Try this:

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:minHeight="45dp"
    app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
    app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
    app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"
    app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways">

Also, trying replacing the 'app' with 'android' if you haven't already. Sometimes we try to fix compatibility issues when there are none. Try this:

   <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:minHeight="45dp"
    android:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
    android:contentInsetStart="0dp"
    android:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"
    android:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways">

You can also hard-code your Toolbar attributes in your activity file. You will use padding if you do so. 

     Toolbar tb = (Toolbar)findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
     tb.setPadding(padding, tb.getPaddingTop(), padding, tb.getPaddingBottom());

Use as the following:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:minHeight="45dp"
        app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
        app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
        android:contentInsetStart="0dp"               //Add this
        android:contentInsetLeft="0dp"               //Add this
        app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation= "0dp"  //Add this too
        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways">
