How can I put color icons in the navigation drawer such as Google apps that take their colors; I tried but when I put a custom icon it gets gray and does not take the original color, I tried declaring the attribute in the navigationview (setIconItemTintList) but they are all in the same color and I want them to take their own color
You have to modify your NavigationView, it is located by default in the activity_main.xml, in this view you should add:
app:itemIconTint="@color/el_color_que_prefieras"
And it would be like that
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="@+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="@menu/activity_main_drawer"
app:itemIconTint="@color/el_color_que_prefieras"/>
Maybe you already know the answer to this question, but I just found out and wanted to share, the only thing you have to do is add this line:
navigationView.setItemIconTintList(null);
In the onCreate of the activity_main and the icons will remain with the original colors, greetings.
