Unable to change the color of hamburger icon in Android Navigation Drawer

Question

I have created a navigation drawer which has hamburger/back icon animation in the actionbar. The only problem is that I am unable to change the color of the hamburger icon to white. I followed How to style the DrawerArrowToggle from Android appcompat v7 21 library and How to change color of hamburger icon in material design navigation drawer.

My code:

   <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/appPrimaryColor</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/ColorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
        <item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/OverFlowIcon</item>
    </style>

    <style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
        <item name="spinBars">true</item>
        <item name="color">@color/white</item>
    </style>

However, this does not seem to work. Any ideas why?

Did you try `@android:color/white`? – frogatto Oct 30 '15 at 17:10 — frogatto, Oct 30 '15 at 17:10
Yes, tried that as well. No luck! – kds23 Oct 30 '15 at 17:14 — kds23, Oct 30 '15 at 17:14

Great! That worked. Thanks! :) – kds23 Oct 30 '15 at 17:22 — kds23, Oct 30 '15 at 17:22
You also have another option! Using your own icons. – frogatto Oct 30 '15 at 17:23 — frogatto, Oct 30 '15 at 17:23
