How to change all ToolBar's icons color dynamically without styling toolbar

Question

I have been looking a way to change the color of all elements in a toolbar working like an ActionBar dynamically.

Answer 1

I was facing same problem here. What I did for ToolBar's elements:

1. For background color: toolbar.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#xxxxxxxx"));
2. For text color: toolbar.setTitleTextColor(Color.parseColor("#xxxxxxxx"));

3. For hamburger/drawer button:

   int color = Color.parseColor("#xxxxxxxx");
   final PorterDuffColorFilter colorFilter = new PorterDuffColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
   
   for (int i = 0; i < toolbar.getChildCount(); i++){
   
       final View v = toolbar.getChildAt(i);
   
       if(v instanceof ImageButton) {
           ((ImageButton)v).setColorFilter(colorFilter);
       }
   }
   

4. For ActionMenuItemView (toolbar's buttons including overflow button):

   private void colorizeToolBarItem(AppCompatActivity activity, final PorterDuffColorFilter colorFilter, final String description) {
   
       final ViewGroup decorView = (ViewGroup) activity.getWindow().getDecorView();
       final ViewTreeObserver viewTreeObserver = decorView.getViewTreeObserver();
   
       viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
           @Override
           public void onGlobalLayout() {
   
               final ArrayList outViews = new ArrayList<>();
               decorView.findViewsWithText(outViews, description,
                   View.FIND_VIEWS_WITH_CONTENT_DESCRIPTION);
               if (outViews.isEmpty())
                   return;
   
               ActionMenuItemView overflow = (ActionMenuItemView)outViews.get(0);
               overflow.getCompoundDrawables()[0].setColorFilter(colorFilter);
               removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(decorView,this);
           }
       });
   }
