How to Set OnClick Listener on Action Bar Title in Android?

This example demonstrates How to Set OnClick Listener on Action Bar Title in Android.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:app = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
   xmlns:tools = "http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width = "match_parent"
   android:gravity = "center"
   android:layout_height = "match_parent"
   tools:context = ".MainActivity"
   android:orientation = "vertical">
   <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
      android:id = "@+id/my_awesome_toolbar"
      android:layout_width = "match_parent"
      android:layout_height = "wrap_content"
      android:background = "@color/colorPrimary"
      android:minHeight = "?attr/actionBarSize" >
      <TextView
         android:id = "@+id/toolbarTitle"
         style = "@style/TextAppearance.Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar.Title"
         android:background = "?attr/selectableItemBackground"
         android:layout_width = "wrap_content"
         android:gravity = "center_vertical"
         android:layout_height = "match_parent" />
   </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
   <TextView
      android:id = "@+id/text"
      android:textSize = "30sp"
      android:layout_width = "match_parent"
      android:layout_height = "match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>

In the above code, we have taken toolbar and text view.

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

package com.example.myapplication;
import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.app.ActivityManager;
import android.app.admin.DevicePolicyManager;
import android.content.ComponentName;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.wifi.WifiInfo;
import android.net.wifi.WifiManager;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.RequiresApi;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toolbar;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   TextView textView;
   @SuppressLint("RestrictedApi")
   @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      getSupportActionBar().hide();
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      setSupportActionBar((Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar));
      TextView toolbarTitle = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.toolbarTitle);
      toolbarTitle.setText("Home");
      toolbarTitle.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(View v) {
            finish();
         }
      });
      textView = findViewById(R.id.text);
      textView.setText("action bar name Click ");
   }
   private void setSupportActionBar(Toolbar toolbar) { }
}

Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click Run  icon from the toolbar. Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen –
