i'm using actionbarsherlock for my actionbar. I have a sliding menu and searchview. when the application get launches, it will automatically pick the up navigation icon from style.xml file.

When the search menu gets expanded, the up navigation icon will not get changed, it will be still looking like 3 line slider menu. How to change the up navigation icon when searchview is expanded?. I have represented the flow in below image.

enter image description here

check your layout drawable's whether you have set an image like 3 liner slide menu when you create navigation drawer it automatically sets default image which will be loaded representing 3 liner slide like you mentioned change your ic_drawer.png image and replace image with what icon you wish. also you might go check changing your theme
