I have a homepage where I have created a custom toolbar, and now I need to add the menu items to it. So far I have been successful and I have my search
icon in app:showAsAction="always"
mode (which is white) but when I add anything in app:showAsAction="never"
mode then the menu indicator(three dots) appear as black in color, but I want them white.
AndroidManifest.xml
<activity
android:name=".HomePage"
android:launchMode="singleTask" />
actvity_homepage.xml
<com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
android:id="@+id/appBarLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?actionBarSize"
app:titleTextColor="#ffffff"
style="@style/ToolbarTheme"
android:textAlignment="textStart"
android:background="#2B772E"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
homepage_menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:id="@+id/logoutmenu"
android:title= "Log Out"
android:icon="@drawable/logout"
app:itemIconTint = "#ffffff"
app:showAsAction="never"/>
<item
android:id="@+id/search"
android:icon="@drawable/search"
app:showAsAction="always"
android:title="Hello" />
</menu>
(first way) in your style :
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
...
<item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/MyOverflowButtonStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyOverflowButtonStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionButton.Overflow">
<item name="android:tint">#62ff00</item>
</style>
Or you can change it with toolbar style like this:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
...
theme="@style/MyToolbarStyle"
/>
and in your style:
<style name="MyToolbarStyle" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#333333</item>
</style>
