Create xml file in your project name topbar.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="40dp"
    android:orientation="vertical" 
    android:background="@android:color/white">

    <TextView 
        android:id="@+id/title_txt"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="MyTitle: NameOfUser"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:textColor="@android:color/black"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textSize="20sp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"/>


    <Button 
        android:id="@+id/back_btn"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:text="Btn"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>

And add this layout in any layout by just writing:

<include layout="@layout/topbar"/>

Hope this will help you.
