The new default Navigation Drawer Activity template in Android Studio
defines its titles and icons in a menu file activity_main_drawer like thi
activity_main_drawer
In my case, I was having a style
and have applied the theme to the Appbar layout, so programatically chaining color didn't work.
So, try removing any styles that you applied, in case you are not able to change the color of the icon and then try the above given solutions.
