I've added a Toolbar to my Lollipop project. However, I'm having trouble styling the Toolbar. My title in the Toolbar appears to have a bold font, but I'd like it to be italic. Any idea how to achieve this? I've tried playing around with the actionbar-style, no luck.
I've set a style on the Toolbar with app:theme="@style/toolbar" and my @style/toolbar (parent ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar) is where I'm playing around with no good results.

In Android applications, Toolbar is a kind of ViewGroup that can be placed in the XML layouts of an activity. It was introduced by the Google Android team during the release of Android Lollipop(API 21). The Toolbar is basically the advanced successor of the ActionBar.
Android Toolbar widget is generally found on the top of the screen. The application title, logo, navigation icon, and the menu bar is displayed inside the toolbar. The toolbar is the material design replacement for the old and now deprecated ActionBar.
This is actually really easy. There's a method on Toolbar called setTitleTextAppearance() that everyone seems to be overlooking. Just define your custom textAppearance in styles.xml, such as:
<style name="MyTitleTextApperance" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Medium">
<item name="android:textColor">@android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
</style>
and then in your code, you just call :
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
toolbar.setTitleTextAppearance(this, R.style.MyTitleTextApperance);
and voila!
