Navigation drawer item icon not showing original colour

Question

I\'m trying to show an icon next to an item within my menu for my navigation drawer, but for some reason the icon always appears in grey rather than the original colour (bro

Answer 1

If you create a project with navigation drawer which the Android Studio provided. In your Main Activity class, you can just simply add this line of code navigationView.setItemIconTintList(null); to your onCreate method. Like this;

 NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
 navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
 navigationView.setItemIconTintList(null); // <----- HERE
 setupDrawerContent(navigationView);

Answer 2

Just add one line in xml

app:itemIconTint="@color/white"

Answer 3

I've tried something similar in one of my app. And yes, it appears that the icon color doesn't change. But I've managed to do with another workaround. Here's my ic_browncircle.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="oval"
    android:tint="@color/brown"
    >
  <size
      android:height="3dp"
      android:width="3dp"
      />
  <solid android:color="@color/brown"/>
</shape>

Which I believe is something similar to you but it doesn't have any effect and doesn't change the color.

So what I did is this.

navigationView.getMenu()
    .findItem(R.id. navigation_item_1)
    .getIcon()
    .setColorFilter(Color.parseColor("#b69260"), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

And it seems working. Here's the result.

Add this

Answer 6

Use

    mNavigationView.setItemIconTintList(null);

it's right. Also If all your icons in one color scheme (i had all white) you can setup through xml file - app:itemIconTint="@android:color/white"

My case:

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
    android:id="@+id/nav_view"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    android:clickable="true"
    app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_main"
    app:itemTextColor="@android:color/white"
    app:menu="@menu/activity_main_drawer"
    android:background="@android:color/black"
    app:itemIconTint="@android:color/white"
    />
