Disable Icon Colorstatelist in Navigationview

Disable icon colorStateList in NavigationView

Is there no way for me to force NavigationView to stop tinting my
icons?

There sure is. You can do so programmatically using NavigationView.setItemIconTintList.

And you can do so in your XML layout by using the NavigationView.itemIconTint attribute.

Programmatically

yourNavigationView.setItemIconTintList(null);

From XML

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
    ...
    app:itemIconTint="@android:color/black" 
    ... />

Colored Icons In NavigationView

Yes you can add colored icon using menu group items:

<item
        android:id="@+id/drawer_artist"
        android:icon="@drawable/artist"
        android:title="Artists"/>

And for highlighting the selcted item Use the code below for default selection:

navigationView.getMenu().getItem(0).setChecked(true);

And You can select(highlight) the item by calling

onNavigationItemSelected(navigationView.getMenu().getItem(0));

Edit

If you are using navigationview you can edit option for changing the colortint of icons as follows:

    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
    android:id="@+id/navigation"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    android:background="@drawable/bg_all"

    app:itemIconTint="@android:color/white"
    app:itemTextColor="@android:color/white"
    app:theme="@style/list_item_appearance"
    app:menu="@menu/drawer_menu" >

Edit

If you set navigationView.setItemIconTintList(null); you will get colored icons.

Android: Bottom Navigation View - change icon of selected item

You need to reset the icon onclick, and then on the switch case you need to set only the one you need to change, so only when selected the icon change.

Menu menu = bottomNavigationView.getMenu();
menu.findItem(R.id.action_favorites).setIcon(favDrawable);

switch (item.getItemId()) {
                case R.id.action_favorites:
                     item.setIcon(favDrawableSelected);
                case R.id.action_schedules:
                case R.id.action_music:
            }

How to change the text and icon color of selected menu item on Navigation Drawer programmatically using java

Firstly thank you all for responding back with your solutions :) Learning from the answers above and doing some research on ColorStateList I finally managed to create a method which sets the color of the checked item on the navigation drawer to match the color of my app theme color which is generated randomly at runtime.

Here's the method:

public void setNavMenuItemThemeColors(int color){
    //Setting default colors for menu item Text and Icon
    int navDefaultTextColor = Color.parseColor("#202020");
    int navDefaultIconColor = Color.parseColor("#737373");

    //Defining ColorStateList for menu item Text
    ColorStateList navMenuTextList = new ColorStateList(
            new int[][]{
                    new int[]{android.R.attr.state_checked},
                    new int[]{android.R.attr.state_enabled},
                    new int[]{android.R.attr.state_pressed},
                    new int[]{android.R.attr.state_focused},
                    new int[]{android.R.attr.state_pressed}
            },
            new int[] {
                    color,
                    navDefaultTextColor,
                    navDefaultTextColor,
                    navDefaultTextColor,
                    navDefaultTextColor
            }
    );

    //Defining ColorStateList for menu item Icon
    ColorStateList navMenuIconList = new ColorStateList(
            new int[][]{
                    new int[]{android.R.attr.state_checked},
                    new int[]{android.R.attr.state_enabled},
                    new int[]{android.R.attr.state_pressed},
                    new int[]{android.R.attr.state_focused},
                    new int[]{android.R.attr.state_pressed}
            },
            new int[] {
                    color,
                    navDefaultIconColor,
                    navDefaultIconColor,
                    navDefaultIconColor,
                    navDefaultIconColor
            }
    );

    mNavView.setItemTextColor(navMenuTextList);
    mNavView.setItemIconTintList(navMenuIconList);
}

you can call this method with any int color you want :)

Selected tab's color in Bottom Navigation View

While making a selector, always keep the default state at the end, otherwise only default state would be used. You need to reorder the items in your selector as:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="true" android:color="@android:color/holo_blue_dark" />
    <item android:color="@android:color/darker_gray"  />
</selector>

And the state to be used with BottomNavigationBar is state_checked not state_selected.
