问题更改 SearchView 的后退按钮图标颜色 - Android Studio

Question

I am trying to change the color of the close button and the back button of my SearchView . I have got the color of the close button changing as expected, but I am having issues getting the back button's color to change. I want them both to be black, but the back button is stuck as white right now.

I have looked through a bunch of solutions to similar answers, but most are making style changes to the app's Toolbar . I have created a custom menu resource and do not have a Toolbar to change the style of.

I have also tried changing the Drawable icon of the support action bar using the setHomeAsUpIndicator function, but this had no effect.

This is the small amount of code I am using to change the close and back button colors.

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.navbar_search);
    SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menuItem.getActionView();
    
    ImageView closeImgView = searchView.findViewById(R.id.search_close_btn);
    closeImgView .setColorFilter(Color.BLACK);
    
    ImageView backImgView = searchView.findViewById(R.id.search_mag_icon);
    backImgView .setColorFilter(Color.BLACK);
    .
    .
    .
}

Is this back button not the same as the R.id.search_mag_icon ? If not, then where is this back button coming from and how can I change its style?

Answer 1

You can try for setting your imageview colour in xml like this

<ImageView
        android:id="@+id/search_mag_icon"
        android:layout_width="50dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:background="your image file"
        android:backgroundTint="@android:color/black"  /*for changing your image colour*/ 
 />

or try use setBackgroundColour for alternate

search_mag_icon.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#00000"));
