Left Menu Icon on Action Bar in Android

How to Change the left side menu icon on the Action Bar ? I have created this using Navigation Drawer Fragment in Android Studio. Now an Arrow pointing left is displayed "<-" but i need to display the = icon. Where should i change this ?

You could use this format for your ActionBarDrawerToggle:
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
R.drawable.CUSTOM_ICON, // Navigation menu toggle icon
R.string.DRAWER_OPEN, // Navigation drawer open description
R.string.DRAWER_CLOSE // Navigation drawer close description
)
Change your drawable and make sure it is the same name as the one in the code.

To toggle the indicator you've to use:
public void toogleDrawer(boolean value){
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(!value);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(value);
}
Please post the complete code relating to your drawer fragment, and action bar setup(if any) and also the relevant layouts. You've to research around a bit before asking the question. Check this question here : Cannot listen clicks on up caret

Sliding Menu on Samsung phones are not showing app icon on action bar

I changed all my previous tabs-activities app for a sliding_menu-fragments. The code to implement the sliding menu is using ActionBarDrawer (v4 which is deprecated now)
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
R.drawable.ic_drawer, //nav menu toggle icon
R.string.app_name, // nav drawer open - description for accessibility
R.string.app_name // nav drawer close - description for accessibility
)
The sliding menu is working fine. And the ic_drawer icon which is called the hamburguer (3 bars), appear well in my phone (One Plus One). Besides it, the app icon, appears also without problem.
But running the same app on a Samsung phone the app icon disappear. Just the hamburguer is showed.
Please if somebody was having a similar issue and have something to say I'll really appreciates any advice.

Menu icon in actionbar not showing

In my Android app, I show the actionbar and normally in the far left is my app's logo and to the left of the logo is the icon that lets you display the navigation drawer. This icon is typically 3 horizontally bars above each other.
After modifying my app, this menu icon is no longer visible. Instead, an arrow for "back" is now displayed.
I even have:
setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
This gets rid of the arrow for navigating Up (or back) but the 3 bar menu item never shows. I still can press on my app's logo to the right and it will bring up the navigation drawer.
What is preventing the menu icon from showing?

I already have this problem and it was when I used a Fragment instead of an Activity. When you use an activity, you got the three lines to open the menu (if of course you enabled it), if you have a fragment, then you have an arrow.

I personnally use this :
ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
R.drawable.ic_drawer, //nav menu toggle icon
R.string.app_name, // nav drawer open - description for accessibility
R.string.app_name // nav drawer close - description for accessibility
)
Where the ic_drawer is the 3 bars icons. I use this tutorial to create my app Drawer.
Hopefully this can help you anyhow =)

How to change color of ic_drawer in Android

I want to change the color of ic_drawer to white. Yes the three lines icon that you can see below.
Could you point me to any solution via xml?
Currently, I have the white icons ready.

It is not possible by just setting a color code, you have to do it with custom images.For generating a navigation drawer indicator icon, use the Android Asset Studio.
Insert the images in your res/drawable-XXXX folder (replace XXXX with hdpi, mdpi, etc.), under a name like custom_ic_drawer.
If you followed the tutorial on the Android Developer portal for creating a navigation drawer, you created a drawer toggle with the following code:
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
R.drawable.ic_drawer, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close)...
Replace this line with the following:
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
R.drawable.custom_ic_drawer, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close)...
This way the toggle will have your custom icon.
If you want to change the icon for the Up navigation (the grey caret on your left picture, see this question.

Android Navigation Drawer custom Icons on drawer opened/closed

I would like to customize my navigation drawer in the following manner:
instead of the current default animation that slides the menu icon slightly to the left i would like to have one icon displayed when the drawer is open and another when the drawer is closed.
Any ideas/leads onto where i could find anything like that?
I have done some research, was able to chance the action bar icon but that unfortunately this is not what i am looking for.
Could it be that this is not even possible?
I am guessing changes should take place around here:
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
getActivity(), /* host Activity */
mDrawerLayout, /* DrawerLayout object */
R.drawable.ic_drawer, /* nav drawer image to replace 'Up' caret */
R.string.navigation_drawer_open, /* "open drawer" description for accessibility */
R.string.navigation_drawer_close /* "close drawer" description for accessibility */
)

Based upon my reading of the ActionBarDrawerToggle source, you would need to fork the implementation of ActionBarDrawerToggle and modify it to:
Either hold two Drawable resource IDs or use a LevelListDrawable or something to represent the two states, and
Modify setActionBarUpIndicator() to take the change listed above into account
Note that users are only now starting to come to grips with the "mini hamburger" indicator meaning that there is a navigation drawer. Switching away from that convention may harm, not improve, your app's usability.
