Icons are not visible for menu in android studio

I use navigation drawer activity in my code. For certain menu, icons are visible. But for the rest it appears as a shaded square/circle. I tried clean/rebuild/invalidate cache and restart options, still no solution. Any help please...
activity_main_drawer.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="#+id/fullstackdeveloper"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_stack"
android:title="#string/home_label" />

Make sure you are following material design stander while creating icon for menu.
If you follow then it will show icons otherwise not.
You can confirm this by setting following icon
android:icon="#android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
You will see this icon in your drawer.
Above suggestion is 1 way to show icon in drawer other way is what #jeetparmar has suggest in above answer you can follow that also.

Try this way :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="#+id/Home"
app:actionLayout="#layout/home_item"
tools:ignore="MenuTitle" />
</group>
==========home_item============
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

Did it with a Hack.
I know it's not the best or even good solution but I did it with an hack.
searchItem.getActionView().findViewById(R.id.text).setMinimumWidth(width);
You can pass a particular width to the view so that it will take at-least that much space.

In xml file having navigation view add following code inside navigation view as :
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"

app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#000000"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="330dp">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_home"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/mSwitch"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="15dp"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:text="get i5 Pro" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>
Where you have to give margin top of linear layout according to your header height.. e.g. If your header height is 320 dp then you need to increase is by 10 dp or more according to your requirement.

Android Relativelayout click background behaviour

So i have a RecyclerView and it is populated by my custom layout (code below). I have made a background drawable and set it on the root of my custom layout so that when user clicks the item, the background colour changes. There is also an options button (3 dots) on every item's layout, which is also clickable and also needs to change the background colour when clicked.
The problem is, when i set my drawable as background for the options menu the whole layout doesn't change colour when clicked (screens below)
When i set the background on options menu as "?android:attr/selectableItemBackground", everything works fine.
Code for my layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:background="#drawable/item_click"
android:layout_marginBottom="2dp">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:paddingLeft="16dp"
android:id="#+id/item_icon"
android:src="#drawable/ic_folder" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingLeft="72dp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/item_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#333333"
android:text="Caption"
android:textSize="13sp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/item_description"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#333333"
android:text="Description"
android:textSize="13sp" />
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:foregroundGravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingLeft="16dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp"
android:id="#+id/item_menu"
android:src="#drawable/ic_ellipsis_v"
android:background="#drawable/item_click" />
</RelativeLayout>
Code for the drawable:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_focused="true"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#color/primary_100" />
<item
android:state_focused="false"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#color/primary_100" />
<item
android:drawable="#android:color/white" />
</selector>
Item selected when the background of the options menu is set to "?android:attr/selectableItemBackground" (I want the whole row to change colour to blue):
Item selected when the background of the options menu is set to my drawable:

Change the default state of your selector:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_focused="true"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#color/primary_100" />
<item
android:state_focused="false"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#color/primary_100" />
<item
android:drawable="#android:color/transparent" />
</selector>
