Answer 1

To change color of hamburger icon you have to open "style.xml" class, then try this code:

<style name="MyMaterialTheme" parent="MyMaterialTheme.Base">

</style>

<style name="MyMaterialTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
</style>

<style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
    <item name="spinBars">true</item>
    <item name="color">@android:color/black</item>
</style>

So check <item name="color">@android:color/black</item> line. Just change your desired color here.

Answer 2

do it programmatically add this line

actionBarDrawerToggle.getDrawerArrowDrawable().setColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));

Answer 3

Overriding colorControlNormal also works.

<item name="colorControlNormal">@android:color/holo_red_dark</item>

Answer 4

1.In Color.xml.<color name="hamburgerBlack">#000000</color>

2.In style.xml.

<style name="DrawerIcon" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
        <item name="color">@color/hamburgerBlack</item>
    </style>

3. Then your main theme class(File name style.xml).I have “AppTheme”.

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
         <item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerIcon</item>
    </style>

Answer 5

yourProject/res/values/styles.xml

in the Style.xml add:

<style name="BaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
  <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/white</item> 
</style>
enter code here :

Answer 6

For that you can proceed as follows:

protected ActionBarDrawerToggle drawerToggle;

drawerToggle.getDrawerArrowDrawable().setColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.black));

Answer 7

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@color/colorTransparent"

remove themes too

    android:theme="@style/AppThemeNoActionBar.AppBarOverlay">

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
      ***

remove this

*** app:popupTheme="@style/AppThemeNoActionBar.PopupOverlay">

</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

finally add this

 <style name="AppThemeNoActionBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

To your main heme

        <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/colorRedTitle</item>

    </style>

Answer 8

This works fine when you set app:theme="@style/MyMaterialTheme"

                        final View v = toolbar.getChildAt(i);

                    return true;
                }

Answer 10

If you want to change the color just to your navigation drawer icon, try this:

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
    app:itemIconTint="@color/thecolorthatyouwant"
 />

straight in your activity_drawer.xml

Answer 11

The hamburger icon is controlled by your action ActionBarDrawerToggle class. If you are using the android compat libraries which is a must as at now. You can change the color like this:

    toggle?.drawerArrowDrawable?.color = ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorPrimary)

Answer 12

After a struggle of 2 hours , this post helped me . In Androidhive material example, change primary color to another for getting new actionbar color. this below code is for getting arrow mark on action bar and making custom text. Finally i understood that, arrow icon will be in appcompat resource files but hamburger icon not present in resources. if it is present we can change it at runtime

setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        final Drawable upArrow = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha);
        upArrow.setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.black), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
        getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(upArrow);
        getSupportActionBar().setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<font color=\"black\">" + "All Addresses" + "</font>"));
        getSupportActionBar().show();

for changing the home button, i followed @anandsingh answer.
