I am using a android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar and learned from this post how to change the color of the hamburger icon to white, but the up/back arrow remains a dark color when I call
setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
How can I make the arrow white as well?
Here is what my toolbar looks like when I call setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled():
...and here is the relevant portion of my styles.xml file:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#194C5F</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/accent</item>
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/WhiteDrawerIconStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="WhiteDrawerIconStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
<item name="spinBars">true</item>
<item name="color">@android:color/white</item>
</style>
I solved it by editing styles.xml:
<style name="ToolbarColoredBackArrow" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">INSERT_COLOR_HERE</item>
</style>
...then referencing the style in the Toolbar definition in the activity:
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/main_parent_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
app:theme="@style/ToolbarColoredBackArrow"
app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"/>
Here is what you are looking for. But this also changes the color of radioButton etc. So you might want to use a theme for it.
<item name="colorControlNormal">@color/colorControlNormal</item>
