How move a button to the right side of the container in Material design

Question

I'm trying to get a button to move to the right side of the container, I used several forms but I can not get it, somehow the style="float: right;"

Maybe this is not a thing, Material design, I have no experience in front-end developments.

 <md-toolbar color="primary">
    <span><md-icon>mood</md-icon></span>

    <span>Material in Angular 2!</span>

    <button md-icon-button style="float: left;" [md-menu-trigger-for]="menu">
      <md-icon style="float: left;">more_vert</md-icon>
    </button>
  </md-toolbar>

<button md-icon-button style="float: right;" [md-menu-trigger-for]="menu">
      <md-icon style="float: right;">more_vert</md-icon>

I'd like to move it here. I'm sorry for my bad English. I hope you can understand me.

You're missing the class on the text <span> which allows it to fill the space:

See full example here.

.example-fill-remaining-space {
  // This fills the remaining space, by using flexbox. 
  // Every toolbar row uses a flexbox row layout.
  flex: 1 1 auto;
}

<md-toolbar color="primary">
  <span>Application Title</span>

  <!-- This fills the remaining space of the current row -->
  <span class="example-fill-remaining-space"></span>

  <span>Right Aligned Text</span>
</md-toolbar>
