Change icon of ActionBar with ActionBarDrawerToggle v7

Here is another problem that a lot of us have faced : Changing the ActionBar Icon when using "android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle" instead of the deprecated "android.support.v4.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle"

After a lot of researches and readings here is the solution for anyone who needs it.

In your :

1
2
3

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    }

Call :

1
2
3

getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.ic_menu_drawer);

So you have something like this :

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
       getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
       getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.ic_menu_drawer);
    }

And that's it again.
