Animate drawer icon into arrow on setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled?

Question

I\'m using setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled in order to show the arrow instead of the drawer \"burger\" icon but it\'s not getting animated or anything. Instead it shows the arrow

I haven't tested this, but you may be able to achieve this by animating a float between 0 (drawer closed) and 1 (drawer open) and then passing the value into ActionBarDrawerToggle.onDrawerSlide(View, float). I believe that's how the toggle determines what state the animated toggle should be in.

Something like this should work.

ValueAnimator anim = ValueAnimator.ofFloat(start, end);
anim.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {
    @Override
    public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator valueAnimator) {
        float slideOffset = (Float) valueAnimator.getAnimatedValue();
        toolbarDrawerToggle.onDrawerSlide(drawerLayout, slideOffset);
    }
});
anim.setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator());
// You can change this duration to more closely match that of the default animation.
anim.setDuration(500);
anim.start();
