How can I use an icon instead of a title in the Android Toolbar?

Question

I'm using the Toolbar (instead of ActionBar) via AppCompat. I'd like to replace the Toolbar's title (the app/actity name) with an icon, but I don't see how.

My icon is just text using a non-standard font, so I guess it might be allowed in Material Design.

Solution

Use the following steps in your activity:

1. Declare the Toolbar object:

   Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.tool1);
   

2. Set the support actionbar:

   setSupportActionBar(toolbar);   
   

3. Remove title:

   getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
   

4. Add your logo in drawable folder in:

   res/drawable.
   

5. Add logo using this code:

   toolbar.setLogo(R.drawable.ic_launcher);

@fnc12 how about "?attr/actionBarSize" ?

But what if I want to add another logo? For example, actual logo on the left and an image(image button actually) on the center.
