NavigationDrawer selected item has wrong icon color [Material3 spec] #129572

@rydmike

Description

@rydmike

Is there an existing issue for this?

Steps to reproduce

The default color of the icon on a selected item in NavigationDrawer does not follow Material3 spec.

Based on published spec the color should in Flutter be ColorScheme.onSecondaryContainer.

Expected results

Expect defaults to use

  @override
  MaterialStateProperty<IconThemeData?>? get iconTheme {
    return MaterialStateProperty.resolveWith((Set<MaterialState> states) {
      return IconThemeData(
        size: 24.0,
        color: states.contains(MaterialState.selected)
            ? _colors.onSecondaryContainer
            : _colors.onSurfaceVariant,
      );
    });
  }

Actual results

The actual implementation is:

  @override
  MaterialStateProperty<IconThemeData?>? get iconTheme {
    return MaterialStateProperty.resolveWith((Set<MaterialState> states) {
      return IconThemeData(
        size: 24.0,
        color: states.contains(MaterialState.selected)
            ? null
            : _colors.onSurfaceVariant,
      );
    });
  }

See:

Since it uses a default IconThemeData with null color, the default via ThemeData for that will be Colors.black87 in light mode and Colors.white in dark mode.

Code sample

No runnable sample needed. This error can be seen comparing spec and actual current code implementation. They differ. I'm assuming the WEB M3 spec is correct and Flutter's implementation is wrong.

It can also be noted that that small selected item indicator in NavigationBar and NavigationRail use the same selected icon color ColorScheme.onSecondaryContainer in the Material 3 spec. These are correctly implemented in Flutter, only the NavigationDrawer case deviates from the spec.
