Change navigation bar icon color on Android

by

If you are using API 27 (Android 8.1) or greater, you can achieve it with this in your theme:

<item name="android:windowLightNavigationBar">true</item>

You can create a folder called values-v27 and place a version of your theme (in styles.xml) with a light navigation bar and the above code to get dark navigation bar buttons.
This way, users with Android 8.0 or lower will get the standard (black) navigation bar while users with Android 8.1 or greater will get a white navbar with dark buttons.
