Color of animated ActionBarDrawerToggle in ActionBar

How can i change the color of animated ActionBarDrawerToggle icons in ActionBar, using AppCompat-v7 (v21)? I tried this, but doesn't work. Thanks.

myActionBarActivity.java

    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);

    mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    mLeftDrawer = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);

    mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
            R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close)

values/styles.xml

    <item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>

    <style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
        <item name="spinBars">true</item>
        <item name="color">@android:color/black</item>
    </style>

UPDATE: solved, there was this entry <item name="actionBarWidgetTheme"> in my theme which probably overlapped <item name="drawerArrowStyle">. I removed it and now all works.

This should work..

<style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
        <item name="spinBars">true</item>
        <item name="color">@color/your_color</item>
    </style>

and in your parent theme..

<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
        .
        .
        .
</style>

Since support library 24.1.0 you can now have access to getDrawerArrowDrawable(). So to change the color you just need to do this:

toggle.getDrawerArrowDrawable().setColor(getColor(R.color.colorPrimary));

There is a way to do it programmatically as well, by taking advantage of the existing color methods in DrawerArrowDrawable. You just need to pass your own DrawerArrowDrawable to ActionBarDrawerToggle and keep a reference to the DrawerArrowDrawable so you can call its methods.

However, that constructor within ActionBarDrawerToggle currently has package-private access, so you need to add a class in the android.support.v7.app package to gain access to it.

Here's an approach that extends from ActionBarDrawerToggle to expose the color methods.

Place this class into /src/android/support/v7/app/:

        if(mSlider != null) {
            mSlider.setAlpha(alpha);
        }
    }
}

Then just use ColorableActionBarDrawerToggle instead of ActionBarDrawerToggle, and call its setColor() or setColorFilter() methods to change the color at run time:

ColorableActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
// ....
mDrawerToggle.setColor(0xffff0000); // make it red
