Button position inside toolbar under Android

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Does ion-buttons start only apply to iOS? I have a a series of buttons within a toolbar inside a modal and iOS looks fine, but Android presents all buttons on the right.

start/end are just platform specific positions.
So on ios, start will be on the left, but android, most buttons are on the right.
So Start will just make it the first button on the right.

If you want to hard code it’s position regardless of platform, you can use left/right.

it still doesn’t go to left when i do, please help.

<ion-buttons left>
      <button ion-button icon-only (click)="filterPressed()">
          <ion-icon name="funnel"></ion-icon>
        </button>
      <button ion-button icon-only (click)="selectSearchField()">
        <ion-icon name="search"></ion-icon>
        {{selectedSearchField}}
      </button>
</ion-buttons>
