How to change the navigation icon color

I have a navigationView in my app and after add two lines in app style :
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
The Navigation icon color changed to black and for this problem i added this line in style :
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#android:color/white</item>
Now navigation icon is white again but now i have a new problem . With above code , the title of navigation items is change color too.
I didn't find a solution to this Interference

Using a Toolbar, to change the navigation icon color you can use:
With a MaterialToolbar or (androidx and a Material theme):
<com.google.android.material.appbar.MaterialToolbar
android:theme="#style/MyThemeOverlay_Toolbar"
...>
<style name="MyThemeOverlay_Toolbar" parent="ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Toolbar.Primary">
<!-- color used by navigation icon and overflow icon -->
<item name="colorOnPrimary">#color/secondaryColor</item>
</style>
With the support Library:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
app:theme="#style/ThemeToolbar" />
<style name="ThemeToolbar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<!-- navigation icon color -->
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/my_color</item>
</style>

If you are looking to change text colors/appearance in the NavigationView Items, you should use the attribs
app:itemTextColor
app:itemIconTint
app:itemTextAppearance
Otherwise, Specify which view's color you want to change. Setting android:textColorSeconday is a bad idea according to me.

Android changing text color on popup menu

In my app, when I click on the three dot button, menu items appear in white text color on white background. I wanted to change the text color to black but it doesn't work. I've looked for solutions but none of them worked.
Here's my code:
styles.xml
<resources>
<style name="AppMaterialTheme" parent="SuperMaterialTheme">
</style>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="SuperMaterialTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="SplashTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#drawable/splash_background</item>
</style>
<style name="ToolbarTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
<style name="PopupTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#000000</item>
</style>

Where's the mistake? Thanks in advance

The menu you're asking for is called the Overflow Menu.You can change the color of the overflow menu background by adding a new style in style.xml.
<style name="OverflowMenu"
parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo">
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/MyOverflowMenu</item>
<item name="android:itemTextAppearance">#style/TextAppearance</item>
</style>
<style name="MyOverflowMenu"
parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.ListPopupWindow">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#color/your_color</item>
</style>
<style name="TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/your_color</item>
</style>

Unable to change the Color of the Menu option on the Android Toolbar

been trying to change the color of the menu items that appear on the Toolbar.
Here is my menu xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="Settings"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:orderInCategory="100"/>
<item android:id="#+id/always"
android:title="Always"
app:showAsAction="always"
android:orderInCategory="101"/>
<item android:id="#+id/never"
android:title="Never"

<item android:id="#+id/ifroom"

app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
<item android:id="#+id/always1"
android:title="Always1"
app:showAsAction="always"
android:orderInCategory="104"/>
</menu>
styles.xml
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#color/white</item>
</style>
</resources>
I've tried using the style options but I cannot figure out how to change the color. The actionMenuTextColor & android:actionMenuTextColor do not solve the problem. It still appears black. Which looks untidy on my blue background.

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Turns out I was inheriting the wrong theme! This works for me!

Remove this line in styles.xml
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#color/white</item>
and add this
<item name="android:textColor">#color/red</item>
<item name="android:itemBackground">#color/skyBlue</item>
Complete code :
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/red</item>
<item name="android:itemBackground">#color/skyBlue</item>
</style>

I have tried many solutions that were asked before ( all were about toolbar menu) but none worked for me.
I defined a new style in styles.xml
<style name="itemTextStyle.AppTheme" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item">
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/black</item>
<item name="android:colorBackground">#color/colorPrimary</item>
and included it in AppTheme which didn't work.then I included it in toolbar style, menu layout, QuizFragment layout but items were still invisible.How to change the background color or item color of menu to fix this, any one will work.

Try this
style.xml
<style name="CustomActionBarTheme" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat">
<item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/OverflowButton</item>
<item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/OverflowButton</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:dropDownListViewStyle">#style/PopupMenuListView</item>
<item name="dropDownListViewStyle">#style/PopupMenuListView</item>
<item name="actionOverflowMenuStyle">#style/OverflowMenu</item>
<item name="actionBarDivider">#null</item>
<!-- OverFlow Menu Text Color -->
<item name="android:textColor">#color/black</item>
</style>
<!-- OverFlow menu Styles -->
<style name="PopupMenuListView" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ListView.DropDown">
<item name="android:divider">#color/black</item>
<item name="android:dividerHeight">1dp</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/white</item>
</style>
<style name="OverflowMenu" parent="Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu.Overflow">
<!-- Required for pre-Lollipop. -->
<item name="overlapAnchor">false</item>
<!-- Required for Lollipop. -->
<item name="android:overlapAnchor">false</item>
<item name="android:dropDownVerticalOffset">4.0dip</item>
</style>
and define theme for Activity in AndroidManifest.xml
<activity
android:name=".YourActivityName"
android:theme="#style/CustomActionBarTheme"/>

I am using only two themes files (for dark, and day)
Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar.Bridge
inside them, I have only items of the same name for both day and night, but in different colors. Found (after experimenting)...that this line is a game-changer in my case (same problem as yours) for title and menu to be white, while at the same time text on popup menu is black
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#android:color/white</item>
here is the whole file, I used only this, and trying to not hard code anything.
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="Theme.Ch+++itche+++++" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar.Bridge">
<!-- Primary brand color. -->
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primaryColor</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryVariant">#color/primaryDarkColor</item>
<item name="colorOnPrimary">#color/primaryLightColor</item>
<item name="colorOnSurface">#color/primaryColorWhiteDay</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor" tools:targetApi="l">?attr/colorPrimaryVariant</item>
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
That is all,
Happy coding,

Android - set size text item

I have a menu.xml file:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context=".StudentMarks" >
<item android:id="#+id/action_example"
android:title="#string/action_example"
android:showAsAction="withText|ifRoom"
style="#style/SelectedYear" />
<item android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="#string/action_settings"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:showAsAction="never" />
</menu>
The item action example has a title that represents the current year (2014).
I can see it in the action bar but i don't know how can I set the size of the year.
I would like to make it bigger.
my styles.xml files
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
<style name="SelectedYear" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
</style>
</resources>

use this attribute in xml
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"

Try change your styles.xml
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
</style>
