Tackling Extra Space in Collapsing Toolbar Title on Android

When developing an Android app, maintaining a clean and professional user interface is crucial. One common issue developers face is having an unwanted extra space between the title of the Collapsing Toolbar and the back button. If you aim to have your title aligned directly below the back button, you're not alone. This guide will provide a step-by-step solution to tackle this problem effectively.
