Change color of Navigation Drawer Icon in Android Studio default template
Based on @MD's comment, all I needed to do was add:
app:itemIconTint="@color/my_desired_colour"
to NavigationView
(it is located in activity_main.xml
layout file) The default tint is black but you can use an even darker shade of black by using #000000
<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:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_main"
app:itemIconTint="#000000"
app:menu="@menu/activity_main_drawer" />
Create a new style:
<style name="DrawerIconStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
<item name="color">@android:color/red</item>
</style>
and in your theme, add this line:
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerIconStyle</item>
