    Android Toolbar widget is the new UI android components available in AppCompt v21. It works just like action bar. It can be used as action bar in a dialog with support from API 7 onwards . This tutorial helps to create a toolbar in android dialog display. Use the following steps to complete this task.

    Step -1 You have to put AppCompat dependencies in build.gradle(app)

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.0'
    

    Step-2 Now you need to include Android Tool Bar layout in your custom dialog layout in xml.

    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
    
        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/my_toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
            android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
            app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>
    
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/text"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@+id/my_toolbar"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:layout_marginBottom="50dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="50dp"/>
    
    </RelativeLayout>
    

    Step-3 Create a class ActionBarDialog which extends DialogFragment class.

    import android.app.Dialog;
    import android.app.DialogFragment;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
    import android.view.LayoutInflater;
    import android.view.MenuItem;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.view.ViewGroup;
    import android.view.Window;
    import android.widget.TextView;
    
    /**
     * Created by arvindkumar on 3/6/15.
     */
    public class ActionBarDialog extends DialogFragment {
    
        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                                 Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            Bundle args = getArguments();
            String title = args.getString("title");
            View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.action_bar_dialog, container, false);
            TextView tv = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.text);
            tv.setText("This is an instance of ActionBarDialog");
            Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) v.findViewById(R.id.my_toolbar);
            toolbar.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new Toolbar.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
                @Override
                public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
                    // Handle the menu item
                    return true;
                }
            });
            toolbar.inflateMenu(R.menu.menu_main);
            toolbar.setTitle(title);
            return v;
        }
    
        @Override
        public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            Dialog dialog = super.onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState);
            // request a window without the title
            dialog.getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
            return dialog;
        }
    }
    

    Step-4 Need a specified theme

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
        <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
            <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
            <!--   your app branding color for the app bar -->
            <item name="colorPrimary">#ff19b525</item>
            <!--   darker variant for the status bar and contextual app bars -->
            <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#ff189f1f</item>
            <!--   theme UI controls like checkboxes and text fields -->
            <item name="colorAccent">#ff2fff2b</item>
        </style>
    

    Step-5 Our activity don't have action bar so we will use action bar. We need to define a tool bar in this layout

    <RelativeLayout 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:layout_height="match_parent"
        tools:context=".MainActivity">
    
        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
            android:elevation="8dp"
            android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
            app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>
    

    Step-6 Now lets create a main activity

    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
    import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
    import android.view.Menu;
    import android.view.MenuItem;
    
    
    public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
    
        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
            Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
            setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
    
            Bundle args = new Bundle();
            args.putString("title", "Dialog with Action Bar");
            ActionBarDialog actionbarDialog = new ActionBarDialog();
            actionbarDialog.setArguments(args);
            actionbarDialog.show(getFragmentManager(),"ACTION BAR DIALOG");
        }
    
        @Override
        public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
            getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
            return true;
        }
    
        @Override
        public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
            int id = item.getItemId();
            if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
                return true;
            }
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
        }
    }
