How to fully customize the Android AppBar?

290 views Asked by At

I would like to implement an AppBar, in my application, in a way similar to what Airbnb did:

Airbnb toolbar

So: actionable icons equally distributed horizontally, no title, but a navigation drawer which is opened by clicking the icon on the right.

Do you think it's better for me to use the Toolbar widget introduced some time ago, and heavly customize it, or to simply write something ad-hoc using the standard RelativeLayout?

The problem is that this pattern is quite far from the Material Design specs, and I fear it might be difficult to use the Toolbar object. On the other hand, I would like not to waste a lot of time implementing something ex novo...

Since I've almost no experience in developing UIs which diverts from official guidelines, I would really appreciate to know your point of view on the matter.
