protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_vouchers_details);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.arrowbackwhite);
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
onBackPressed();
}
});
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

this is my screen(back button havin left margin)

Solution 1

add these line into your toolbar xml

app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"

Solution 2

Set the style to toolbar:

<!-- Tool Bar-->
    <style name="ToolbarStyle" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar">
        <item name="contentInsetStart">0dp</item>
        <item name="android:paddingLeft">0dp</item>
    </style>

And in on Create method of activity do this,

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);

For this to actually work you also have to set ` <item name="toolbarStyle">@style/ToolbarStyle</item>` in your theme
