BjornB

Is this possible?

Thanks for your answer @yousufctec

but im not going to create 16 million different colored icons
The hamburger icon in appcompat is not something you control as "your own image file" since it doesnt use a resource that i myself include in my project.

I ended up creating an awesome solution for this problem! Adding a colorfilter in a customrenderer to the existing drawable, this also colors the backbutton in android, aaand it colors your toolbaricons aswell (if tou want to). I will post the code here as soon as i have created a publicly acceptable renderer

Hi @BjornB ,
Are you referring to the Master Detail Page hamburger? If so, then you need to have multiple images for the hamburger icons and you can change the master page icons everytime from the code behind.

Thanks!
