i am new to android and facing with issue, any help will be grateful, thanks in advance.

I have added following code to create a back arrow on every page.

<activity
            android:name=".Leaves"
            android:parentActivityName=".Dashboard" />

You can configure the padding of the toolbar icon and title with these xml-attributes in your toolbar:

app:contentInsetStart
app:contentInsetEnd
app:contentInsetLeft
app:contentInsetRight
app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation

If you set app:contentInsetStart to 0dp, the space should dissappear.
