The UPDATE . Apparently this is intentional, see here .
EDIT . It turns out the problem is that the toolbar is not added to MasterDetailPage, but rather to the page that I set as the Detail page (which is the navigation page in my case).
So, now the problem is: why is there no toolbar when I use MasterDetailPage?
I upgraded to the new FormsAppCompatActivity form. There are many errors, I look through them one by one.
Now the box is displayed on the toolbar. I want the toolbar to always be on top, so the drawer should be lower.
My RootView is MasterDetailPage:
RootView = new MasterDetailPage {
Master = PageSubs,
Detail = AppNavPage,
};
Here is my style.xml:
<style name="LightTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="toolbar_style">@style/LightToolbar</item>
ToolbarStyle.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<resources>
<style name="LightToolbar" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar">
<item name="android:theme">@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar</item>
<item name="android:popupTheme">@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark</item>
<item name="android:background">#0087DC</item>
</style>
<style name="DarkToolbar" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar">
<item name="android:theme">@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar</item>
<item name="android:popupTheme">@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark</item>
<item name="android:background">#ff0000</item>
</style>
<style name="AMOLEDToolbar" parent="DarkToolbar">
