Changing Navigation drawer icon on action bar andr

Question

I have created a NavigationDrawer in my app using the ActionBar.

As showed in the picture above I want to change the NavigationDrawer toggle button icon to something I want. How can I change it?

Here is my code:-

mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new SlideMenuClickListener());


    // enabling action bar app icon and behaving it as toggle button
    getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);

    mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
            R.drawable.hamburger_button, //nav menu toggle icon
            R.string.app_name, // nav drawer open - description for accessibility
            R.string.app_name // nav drawer close - description for accessibility
            ) {
        public void onDrawerClosed(View view) 
        {

            getActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
            // calling onPrepareOptionsMenu() to show action bar icons
            invalidateOptionsMenu();
        }

        public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            getActionBar().setTitle("Settings");
            // calling onPrepareOptionsMenu() to hide action bar icons
            invalidateOptionsMenu();
        }
    };
    mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
    // Sync the toggle state after onRestoreInstanceState has occurred.
    mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    // Pass any configuration change to the drawer toggls
    mDrawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}

If I try changing it to R.drawable.hamburger_button It still shows the default icon

Answer 1

For me adding the setHomeAsUpIndicator worked.

mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
            this,                  /* host Activity */
            mDrawerLayout,         /* DrawerLayout object */
            R.drawable.custom_icon,  /* nav drawer image to replace 'Up' caret */
            R.string.drawer_open,  /* "open drawer" description for accessibility */
            R.string.drawer_close  /* "close drawer" description for accessibility */
    ) {
        public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
            getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
            invalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to onPrepareOptionsMenu()
        }

        public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mDrawerTitle);
            invalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to onPrepareOptionsMenu()
        }
    };
    mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);

    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
    getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.custom_icon);

Answer 2

 mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
            R.drawable.hamburger_button(This you the icon), //nav menu toggle icon
            R.string.app_name, // nav drawer open - description for accessibility
            R.string.app_name // nav drawer close - description for accessibility
            )

Answer 3

First of all you should in manifest try this code :

android:icon="@drawable/ic_icon1" 

This is image for total logo of your app

android:logo="@drawable/ic_drower" 

This is image for action bar

After that in main-activity try this code :

actionBar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(true);

Answer 4

Under the initialization of ActionBarDrawerToggle write the following code:

toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_menu_camera);

Answer 5

Try changing the icon manually by using setHomeAsUpIndicator() .

Like,

ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
actionBar.setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.ic_drawer);

and

ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(...){};
mDrawerToggle.setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.ic_drawer_toggle);

Answer 6

To replace the drawer indicator icon with your own drawable(non animated) using the v7 ActionBarDrawerToggle, you can do the following:

//After instantiating your ActionBarDrawerToggle
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
Drawable drawable = ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), R.drawable.your_custom_icon, getActivity().getTheme());
mDrawerToggle.setHomeAsUpIndicator(drawable);
mDrawerToggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if (mDrawerLayout.isDrawerVisible(GravityCompat.START)) {
            mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
        } else {
            mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
        }
    }
});
