  <p>defines its titles and icons in a menu file <code>activity_main_drawer</code> like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;group android:checkableBehavior="single"&gt;
      &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/nav_camara"
          android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_emo_cool"
          android:title="Import" /&gt;
      &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/nav_gallery"
          android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_gallery"
          android:title="Gallery" /&gt;
      &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/nav_slideshow"
          android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_slideshow"
          android:title="Slideshow" /&gt;
          ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The first item in my example uses a red icon:</p>

  <p>but when I run the app, the color of the icon remains black.I have tested this for blue, green, yellow and purple icons, but the result is the same.</p>

  <p>I read somewhere that the toolbar should use <code>ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar</code> and my app already uses this in the <code>styles.xml</code> file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;resources&gt;
  
  &lt;!-- Base application theme. --&gt;
  &lt;style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"&gt;
      &lt;!-- Customize your theme here. --&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorPrimary"&gt;@color/colorPrimary&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorPrimaryDark"&gt;@color/colorPrimaryDark&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorAccent"&gt;@color/colorAccent&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  &lt;style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar"&gt;
      &lt;item name="windowActionBar"&gt;false&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="windowNoTitle"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  &lt;style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" /&gt;
  &lt;style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" /&gt;
  </code></pre>

  <p>Initially I thought this had something to do with Android Studio's cache feature so I invalidated cache and restarted Android Studio with no luck.</p>
