I'm using toolbar from support library in my project. And I can't find how to change text alignment. It is at left on default. But I need to move it to the center. I think there is a method setTitleTextAppearance() for it but I don't understand its using.

Add your own TextView which can be aligned wherever you want:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@color/green">
<!-- Below will add your text in the center of the toolbar -->
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:text="Your Text"
android:textColor="#ff0000"
android:textStyle="bold"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

It's quite easy - you can do it programmatically:
public class AboutUsActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_about_us);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.devtoolbar_about);
toolbar.setTitle("About Us");
toolbar.setTextAlignment(View.TEXT_ALIGNMENT_CENTER);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
}
}
The options for alignment are: TEXT_ALIGNMENT_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGNMENT_LEFT, and others. PS: I know this is an old question!
