Change Toolbar Back Button Color

Question

How I change the color of Back Button (or Button up) of my Toolbar ? When I run the application it appears black.

Answer 1

I believe there’s no way to change his color, but to use another image instead since he’s a drawable. For this create an image of your preference (with the color you want) and add in the folder /drawable of your project, done this just add this line in the theme(it gets in the folder /style) of your app:

<item name="android:homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/minha_imagem</item>

Answer 2

Fala Vinicius,

It’s good you always post the code you’re using, to avoid being negative!

Suppose you are declaring your Toolbar in this way:

Toolbar mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);

So you can change the backbutton image like this:

mToolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_arrow_back_grey600_24dp);
mToolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                finish();
            }
        });

Hugs.
