I use Toolbar from Material Design. Changed the background of the toolbar, the color of the label, but I can not change the color of the "Back" icon on the toolbar.

How to do it?

The inscription changed with:

toolbar.setTitleTextColor(android.graphics.Color.WHITE);

But what about the "Back" icon?

    In the styles for this moment (and many others, so be careful) the colorControlNormal attribute colorControlNormal . To make the icon white, add this to the styles:

     <item name="colorControlNormal">#FFFFFF</item>

    • @elik, there either activations other themes have or you have InstrantRun turned InstrantRun in the studio settings and you haven’t actually updated the app on the device. - Yuriy SPb ♦
