Answer 1

@zudo1337 's method solved my problem.

@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
    // Sync the toggle state after onRestoreInstanceState has occurred.
    mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}

Answer 2

I have added this line before calling setDrawerListener.

mDrawerLayout.post(new Runnable() {
@Override public void run() {
 mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
});

Hope this will fix the issue in lower devices.

Answer 3

You can look at this post first. There is one answer: "You can change back icon in Theme

<item name="android:homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/action_arrow</item>

But I think you want implement Navigation Drawer, so read about it.

Answer 4

This happen when you run your app in Android < 3, even Google apps suffer of this too.

But there is a project than solve this: https://github.com/nicolasjafelle/SherlockNavigationDrawer

Answer 5

This solution worked for me, and showed default navigation drawer icon in all version. Add SherlockNavigationDrawer library from here https://github.com/nicolasjafelle/SherlockNavigationDrawer to your project. And change your code as below :

SherlockActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle = new SherlockActionBarDrawerToggle(this,mDrawerLayout,
   R.drawable.ic_drawer, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close) {
   public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
       super.onDrawerClosed(view);
   }
   public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
       super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
   }
};
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);

Answer 6

I put this in and it works.

    @Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
    // Sync the toggle state after onRestoreInstanceState has occurred.
    mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
