Toolbar image centered

Using the last android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar I want to center an image in the toolbar but it keeps staying on the left.

The best way for me would be to use toolbar.setLogo() method and to center the logo but i don't see any way to do it.

I use a layout for the Toolbar:

  <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar style="@style/ToolBarStyle"
                                   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                                   android:layout_width="match_parent"
                                   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                                   android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
                                   android:minHeight="@dimen/abc_action_bar_default_height_material">

</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

Is there any possibility to add an image (logo) to the toolbar and center it? programatically or in the layout?

Toolbar is just a ViewGroup, you can customize is as much as you want.

Try this :

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
   style="@style/ToolBarStyle"
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
   android:minHeight="@dimen/abc_action_bar_default_height_material">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:contentDescription="@string/logo"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>

 </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

This should bring your imageView in center of toolbar.
