Toolbar title disappears when adding views

Question

I just realized that when I add views to the Toolbar in the xml file, the title disappears.

e.g.

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/activity_taskeditor_toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        android:elevation="8dp"
        app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
        >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/activity_taskeditor_title"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:hint="@string/title"
                android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
                android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
                android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
                android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
                android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
                android:textSize="22sp"/>

        </LinearLayout>

    </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
</LinearLayout>

Without the views the title exists, but when adding my views it disappears.

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

If you want to show your Title with the EditText you have to Add a TextView for that and give TextAppearance "@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Title"

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/activity_taskeditor_toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        android:elevation="8dp"
        app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
        >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

          <TextView
             android:layout_width="wrap_content"
             android:layout_height="wrap_content"
             android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Title"
             android:text="@string/title"
             android:textColor="@color/white" />

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/activity_taskeditor_title"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:hint="@string/title"
                android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
                android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
                android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
                android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
                android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
                android:textSize="22sp"/>

        </LinearLayout>

    </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
