MenuItem tinting on AppCompat Toolbar

Question

When I use drawables from the AppCompat library for my Toolbar menu items the tinting works as expected. Like this:

Answer 1

This worked for me:

override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu?): Boolean {

        val inflater = menuInflater
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.player_menu, menu)

        //tinting menu item:
        val typedArray = theme.obtainStyledAttributes(IntArray(1) { android.R.attr.textColorSecondary })
        val textColor = typedArray.getColor(0, 0)
        typedArray.recycle()

        val item = menu?.findItem(R.id.action_chapters)
        val icon = item?.icon

        icon?.setColorFilter(textColor, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
        item?.icon = icon
        return true
    }

Or you can use tint in drawable xml:
