Toolbar navigation icon never set

Solution 1:

Currently you can use it, changing the order: (it seems to be a bug)

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_awesome_toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_good);
toolbar.setTitle("Title");
toolbar.setSubtitle("Sub");
toolbar.setLogo(R.drawable.ic_launcher);

Solution 2:

Specific to the navigation icon, this is the correct order

// get the actionbar as Toolbar and set it up
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.signIn_toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

Inform the Toolbar to provide back navigation. This will set the icon to the default material icon

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

Later override the icon with the custom one, in my case the Holo back icon

toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_chevron_left_white_36dp);

Solution 3:

(The answer to user802421)

private void setToolbar() {
    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    if (toolbar != null) {
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_back);
        toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                onBackPressed();
            }
        });
    }
}

toolbar.xml

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="@dimen/toolbar_height"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimaryDark" />

Solution 4:

Use setNavigationIcon to change it. don't forget create ActionBarDrawerToggle first!

sample code work for me:

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


    drawer = (DrawerLayout)findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);

    ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
            this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
    drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);

    toggle.syncState();

    toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_menu);
