Navigation Drawer Icon Not Showing (sherlock Actionbar)

Have the navigation Drawer working with the sherlock actionbar but i am having trouble getting the 3 line icon (like gmail) to show instead of the normal up button '<'. Here is

Solution 1:

Have you tried implementing the method:

    mDrawerToggle.syncState();

This has worked for me in the past.

Solution 2:

This solution worked for me, and showed default navigation drawer icon in all version. Add SherlockNavigationDrawer library from here https://github.com/nicolasjafelle/SherlockNavigationDrawer to your project. And change your code as below :

SherlockActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle = newSherlockActionBarDrawerToggle(this,mDrawerLayout,
   R.drawable.ic_drawer, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close) {
   publicvoidonDrawerClosed(View view) {
       super.onDrawerClosed(view);
   }
   publicvoidonDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
       super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
   }
};
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);

Solution 3:

Though I'm guessing by now you must have worked it out, just wanted to submit an answer:

Change your code to the following:

mDrawerToggle = newActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawer,
        R.drawable.ic_drawer, R.string.menu_open, R.string.menu_close) {
    publicvoidonDrawerClosed(View view) {

        super.onDrawerClosed(view);
    }

    publicvoidonDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
        super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
    }
};
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.myIcon);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);

Essentially, the ActionBar options that you are setting in code need to be set after the DrawerToggle has been completed, not before.

Solution 4:

You can look at this post first. There is one answer: "You can change back icon in Theme

<item name="android:homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/action_arrow</item>

But I think you want implement Navigation Drawer, so read about it.

Solution 5:

What you can do is create a style like below:

<stylename="AppTheme"parent="Your Theme name"><itemname="homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/ic_drawer</item></style>

And in Android manifest apply this theme like:

<application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
</application>

This will solve the issue getting the 3 line icon for sure.
