How to change the navigation icon color

Question

false


        

Answer 1

If you are looking to change text colors/appearance in the NavigationView Items, you should use the attribs

• app:itemTextColor
• app:itemIconTint
• app:itemTextAppearance

Otherwise, Specify which view's color you want to change. Setting android:textColorSeconday is a bad idea according to me.

Answer 2

Using a Toolbar, to change the navigation icon color you can use:

With a MaterialToolbar or (androidx and a Material theme):

<com.google.android.material.appbar.MaterialToolbar
    android:theme="@style/MyThemeOverlay_Toolbar"
    ...>

  <style name="MyThemeOverlay_Toolbar" parent="ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Toolbar.Primary">
    <!-- color used by navigation icon and overflow icon -->
    <item name="colorOnPrimary">@color/secondaryColor</item>
  </style>

With the support Library:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
  app:theme="@style/ThemeToolbar" />


<style name="ThemeToolbar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
   <!-- navigation icon color -->
   <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/my_color</item>
</style>
