How to give color to menu items for Navigation drawer in Xamarin.Android

Question

I have a Navigation Drawer in my Xamarin.Android app, it's menu items have icons that are coloured but when i run, they are greyed.

After searching on Stack, i've found ou that this is coursed by tinting - but all question handle how to disabling tinting in standard android projects. How do I achieve this in Xamarin.Android

Answer 1

Try:

navView.ItemIconTintList = null;

Note : If you are familiar with the Android SDK, to get an equivalent method in Xamarin.Android (usually) is matter of removing the set/get from the name as this is converted to a C# property.
