I customized that side menu icon and put an icon of mine. Here is the image:
Problem: When I click on the Icon, it no longer opens that menu on the side. Here is the code I used to change the icon:
toggle.setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.icon_hamburg_min);
drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
Would it be possible to keep this icon and make its click open the menu?
This does not do what you expect it to do.
ActionBarDrawerToggle # setHomeAsUpIndicator () serves to indicate which drawable to use when the drawer indicator is disabled. It is shown when setDrawerIndicatorEnabled () is called with false .
This is why when you click on it drawer is not shown, it is disabled.
To change the icon you should use ActionBar # setHomeAsUpIndicator () , do so:
If you are using support appcompat
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.icon_hamburg_min);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
If it is not
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setActionBar(toolbar);
getActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.icon_hamburg_min);
getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
