Disable a color tint in NavigationView only for specified icons

Question

I need to disable a tint color for some icons in NavigationView because their color define category type. How can I do it?
Below picture shows my problem:

@Wax have you found the solution yet? I need to use two colors to one item and the rest grey.. — sanjeev, Apr 05 '18 at 17:14
@sanjeev I don't remember already, honestly, but seems u can only prepare few ColorTintLists and set got each item manually (in code) — Denis Sologub, Apr 05 '18 at 17:17
@Шах yeah we could do that.. but how do you set the default icon color for the selected one? are you telling me its not possible? — sanjeev, Apr 05 '18 at 17:30
Also it wouldn't be possible to use multiple colors in ColorTintLists for a single checked item sadly right? — sanjeev, Apr 05 '18 at 17:32

It disables color tint for all items – Denis Sologub Apr 02 '16 at 09:34
Sorry, my bad. Then you can use a selector like that : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30967851/change-navigation-view-item-color-dynamicly-android – Robert Banyai Apr 02 '16 at 09:36
My problem that I need to use tint not for all items, only for specified which doesn't define some category. `ColorTintList` applies to all items in `NavigationView`. – Denis Sologub Apr 02 '16 at 09:39

Did you tried to get your menu item programatically, and modify the item's tint? – Robert Banyai Apr 02 '16 at 09:50
I try to set `ColorTintList` in `null` in `NavigationView` and use `DrawableCompat` to tint icons when I create menu but it doesn't work. All my icons became a black. – Denis Sologub Apr 02 '16 at 09:52

If you want change color of icon on seletion the below is the possible answer:

Change Navigation View Item Color Dynamicly Android

Otherwise you can set

navview.setItemIconTintList(null);

this will give the original colors of icons. and you can use colored and grey icons as per your requirements.

In case this is still relevant for somebody, we found a solution for a similar issue recently.

Although it is not possible (at least on API levels < 26) to set a custom tint list on individual items, you can set the tint mode individually. This worked for us:

val itemsWithoutTint: List<Int> = listOf(12345)
for (i in 0 until getMenu().size()) {
    val item = getMenu().getItem(i)
    if (item.itemId in itemsWithoutTint) {
        MenuItemCompat.setIconTintMode(item, PorterDuff.Mode.DST)
    }
}

By setting the TintMode to DST (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/PorterDuff.Mode), the source (in this case the tint color) is ignored and the destination (the icon to be tinted) is left untouched.

For those who are using Kotlin, That's how it is done

val bottomNavigationView: BottomNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.bottomnavigationhome)

// * THIS ONE 
bottomNavigationView.itemIconTintList = null

 Menu menuNav = navigationView.getMenu();
 MenuItem menuItem = menuNav.findItem(R.id.nav_subjects);

 // Disable a tint color
 menuItem.setChecked(false);

I hope it answers your question.
