Answer 1

Try creating this style in your styles.xml.

<style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
    <item name="color">@android:color/white</item>
</style>

And, then add it to you AppTheme style like the following.

<item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>

Antifriction

It only changes hamburger icon color. Back arrow color remains unchanged. – Lackadaisical

@Lackadaisical I want to change both. Can you help? – Aplacental

@RishabhSrivastava Add app:popupTheme and app:theme to toolbar. And use <style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark"> <item name="colorControlNormal">@android:color/white</item> </style> . – Lackadaisical

Answer 2

In your AppTheme add this style.

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
</style>

<style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
<item name="spinBars">true</item>
<item name="color">@android:color/white</item>
</style>

1: Go to directory res -> themes.xml

2: Inside:

<style name="Theme.YourAppName" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">

add this line: <item name="colorControlNormal">@android:color/white</item>

you can add this to themes.xml (night) or you may change it according to your preferred style.
