Answer 1

i just found out that it actually works toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_back) and here is the code to make it work.

  @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

   .....
    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
    toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_back);

Post the following code in onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
   ......
    if (id == android.R.id.home) {
        startActivity(new Intent(this, MainActivity.class));
        return true;
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

Note Mainactivity in this code is the current activity i want my back or home button to go to. I hope this helps
