Errors in Navigation Drawer Activity

I'm trying to create a navigation drawer for Android. I've followed these pages (this and this) but now I'm stuck.
Here's my code, based on the planet navigation drawer:
package com.example.side_navigation_from_scratch;

}
}
I get different errors depending on the changes I make.
Like it is right now, I get
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.app.ActionBar.setTitle(java.lang.CharSequence)' on a null object reference
ActionBarActivity is deprecated so I'm not going to use it but if I change Activity to AppCompatActivity, I get
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: AppCompat does not support the current theme features
What am I doing wrong? Which is better to use: Activity, ActionBarActivity or AppCompatActivity? Thanks in advance

Thanks to Raghunandan I managed to fix this: I changed the Activity to AppCompatActivity and replaced getActionBar for getSupportActionBar. I don't have any more NPE

fragments - how to use them with activities that require actions?

First - apologies for the newbie question.
I'm trying to implement a Navigation Drawer that will be used across my app. To start, I've followed the Android tutorial and created a basic navigation which changes a with Fragments.
I can pass a framelayout id and fragment to FragmentTransaction. It works great.
I decided to create a new login activity with the default android files (In Android Studio: going to new - activity - login activity ). This is what's confusing me. My questions are:
Can I create a fragment of the login activity where the actions in LoginActivity will work? It looks like the fragment will create a view based on the layout passed, but the methods used in LoginActivity won't work?
If creating a fragment does not work for the login activity, what would be the cleanest way to ensure the navigation works when switching activities? The Navigation Drawer only works when on the main activity; switching to other activities (via Intent) causes the app to lose the navigation drawer actions. The image of the actionbar/navigation drawer remains.
Here's some of my code in MainActivity ... maybe I'm missing something that is causing the navigation drawer to stop functioning when switching activities by Intent?
(Note: LoginActivity extends MainActivity in the LoginActivity class)
Thanks in advance for any direction / advice!
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
private NavigationDrawerFragment mNavigationDrawerFragment;
//USER DATA
public String mUserID;
public String mToken;
public String mProgramData;
//NAVIGATION DRAWER
private CharSequence mTitle;

// Set up the drawer.

}

}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
EDIT
Thanks for your help so far in guiding me with my issue.
Unfortunately I don't think I'm asking the right question, but maybe viewing the LoginActivity code from Android Studio would help.
This is part of LoginActivity:
public class LoginActivity extends MainActivity implements LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> {
private UserLoginTask mAuthTask = null;
// UI references.
private AutoCompleteTextView mUserIDView;
private EditText mPasswordView;
private View mProgressView;
private View mLoginFormView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
// Set up the login form.
mUserIDView = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.email);
populateAutoComplete();
mPasswordView = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password);
mPasswordView.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView textView, int id, KeyEvent keyEvent) {
if (id == R.id.login || id == EditorInfo.IME_NULL) {
attemptLogin();
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
Button mEmailSignInButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.email_sign_in_button);
mEmailSignInButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
attemptLogin();
}
});
mLoginFormView = findViewById(R.id.login_form);
mProgressView = findViewById(R.id.login_progress);
}
private void populateAutoComplete() {
getLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this);
}
/**
* Attempts to sign in or register the account specified by the login form.
* If there are form errors (invalid email, missing fields, etc.), the
* errors are presented and no actual login attempt is made.
*/
public void attemptLogin() {
if (mAuthTask != null) {
return;
}
// Reset errors.
mUserIDView.setError(null);
mPasswordView.setError(null);
// Store values at the time of the login attempt.
String email = mUserIDView.getText().toString();
String password = mPasswordView.getText().toString();
boolean cancel = false;
View focusView = null;
// Check for a valid password, if the user entered one.
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(password)) {
mPasswordView.setError(getString(R.string.error_invalid_password));
focusView = mPasswordView;
cancel = true;
}
// Check for a valid email address or ID.
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(email)) {
mUserIDView.setError(getString(R.string.error_field_required));
focusView = mUserIDView;
cancel = true;
} else if (!isEmailValid(email) && !isIDValid(email)) {
mUserIDView.setError(getString(R.string.error_invalid_email));
focusView = mUserIDView;
cancel = true;
}
if (cancel) {
// There was an error; don't attempt login and focus the first
// form field with an error.
focusView.requestFocus();
} else {
// Show a progress spinner, and kick off a background task to
// perform the user login attempt.
showProgress(true);
mAuthTask = new UserLoginTask(email, password);
mAuthTask.execute((Void) null);
}
}
private boolean isEmailValid(String email) {
//TODO: Replace this with your own logic
return email.contains("#");
}
private boolean isIDValid(String email) {
//TODO: Replace this with your own logic
return email.length() == 6;
}
[continued]...........
I'll create a simple fragment of LoginActivity called menu1_Fragment:
public class menu1_Fragment extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment {
View rootview;
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
rootview = (ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_login, null);
return rootview;
}
}
If i'm correct (hopefully I'm wrong!) the fragment is replaced with the View (menu1_Fragment). The View cannot have actions (like clicking the login button to send a httppost request).
Also, could you explain why onOptionsItemSelected in MainActivity breaks the navigationdrawer (drawer becomes unclickable. also cannot swipe right to pull it up). Intent launches an activity (LoginActivity), but only the drawer in apperance shows.

to hide also ActionBar icons you can do like:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// toggle nav drawer on selecting action bar app icon/title
if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
// Handle action bar actions click
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_settings:
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
To replace main fragment when you click an item from the drawable menu list i see you have used selectItem(position) method, however that method is never declared on your code. To do that also you can do something like:
private void selectItem(int position){
// update the main content by replacing fragments
Fragment fragment = null;
switch (position) {
case 1:
fragment = new TestFragment();
break;
case 2:
fragment = new TestFragment2();
break;
default:
break;
}
if (fragment != null) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment).commit();
// update selected item and title, then close the drawer
setTitle(navMenuTitles[position]);
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
mDrawerList.setSelection(position);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
} else {
// error in creating fragment
Log.e("MainActivity", "Error in creating fragment");
}
}

I am giving you a example with multiple activities defined as fragment and called using MainActivity, Hope you will get your solution among it..

Bundle savedInstanceState) {
tv =(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.textView4);
view = (ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment4, null);
return view;
}
}
NOTE : If you want to use method from Fragment class to MainActivity, then you can make it public static, and you can use that method directly by it's class name like Fragment1.countData().
This demo also apply for Navigation drawer.

Navigation Drawer Application crashes on API 10

Problem: my compiler was not showing that these android:attr/* are not supported in API level 10. I found a solution.
To support lower versions, instead of removing the following three parameters,
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceListItemSmall"
android:background="?android:attr/activatedBackgroundIndicator"
android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeightSmall"
You can actually replace them with equivalent values/resources.
The equivalent values can be obtained from https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/core/res/res/values/themes.xml
Now,
a) android:textAppearance="#android:style/TextAppearance.Medium"
b) Download a selector from https://github.com/habzy/Test0011_DialerPad/blob/master/res/drawable/list_item_activated_background.xml
In the above project browse the resources in hdpi,mdpi etc and get files named list_activated_holo.9.png
Finally
android:background="#drawable/activated_background_holo_dark"
c) From the equivalent values obtained , we know that listPreferredItemHeightSmall is 48dip

well just when I solved an issue another one is comming right there, and I don't know if I'm violating any rule of this forum posting everything I got an issue, I hope not, but here I go again, I'm trying to add an Icon menu to the Action bar within my fragment, on my parent activity I don't know have action bar menu, so I don't trying to replace the menu on my fragment, because I just use a DrawerLayout to drawer a list menu and it's all, but in some specific Fragments I want to show some action bar icon menu, I've search in the forum before posting but I didn't find something than can help me, because I'm not sure what is going on, I did the two stepts to show and action bar menu on fragments read on others post, I even tried using the default menu.xml created by android studio, in two differents fragment, but for some reason the menu is not being showing on fragments Action bar, I'm not sure if I have to do something on my parent Activity first, but here are my both code Activity and Fragmen

throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString()
+ " must implement OnFragmentInteractionListener");
}
}
#Override
public void onDetach() {
super.onDetach();
mListener = null;
}
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {

inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
}
public interface OnFragmentInteractionListener {
// TODO: Update argument type and name
public void onFragmentInteraction(Uri uri);
}
As you see on Fragment Code, I call setHasOptionMenu(true); whithin onCreat() in the last line, and I inflate my menu.xml whithin onCreateOptionMenu(), but I doesn't showing anything anyways, I'm not pretty sure about what is going on, why It doesn't work anyways.
Thank you so much beforehand, and sorry if the issue is quickly obvious, I'm beginner yet and I don't understand a lot of things of Methods Overriding and Callings.

What if you try to add items programmatically instead of inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu), like this:
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
menu.add(0, R.id.your_id, 0,
getResources().getString(R.string.your_string))
.setIcon(R.drawable.your_icon)
.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
}
That's working for me.

Android - ActionBarSherlock Navigation Drawer and Fragments with Activities

I am trying to understand how to implement the ActionBarSherlock Navigation Drawer into a project. I have one working with the official Android implementation but I would like it to run at 2.2+ so I am looking into ActionBarSherlock. I have an error under the selectItem(int position) section of the code. I will paste it here:
package com.rufflez.absnavdrawer;
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragmentActivity;
import com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu;
import com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuItem;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.res.Configuration;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.view.GravityCompat;
import android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class MainActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity {
private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
private ListView mDrawerList;
private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
private CharSequence mDrawerTitle;
private CharSequence mTitle;
private String[] mFragmentTitles;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mTitle = mDrawerTitle = getTitle();
mFragmentTitles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.fragments);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout)findViewById(R.id.drawer);
mDrawerList = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.drawer_list);
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, GravityCompat.START);
mDrawerList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.drawer_list_item, mFragmentTitles));
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this,
mDrawerLayout,
R.drawable.ic_drawer,
R.string.drawer_open,
R.string.drawer_close){
public void onDrawerClosed(View v){
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
}
public void onDrawerOpened(View v){
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mDrawerTitle);
supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
}
};
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
if (savedInstanceState == null){
selectItem(0);
}
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
boolean drawerOpen = mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(mDrawerList);
menu.findItem(R.id.action_settings).setVisible(!drawerOpen);
return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){
switch(item.getItemId()){
case android.R.id.home:
if (mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(mDrawerList)){
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
} else {
mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(mDrawerList);
}
return true;
case R.id.action_settings:
Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Sources.class);
startActivity(i);
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
private class DrawerItemClickListener implements ListView.OnItemClickListener{
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int position, long id){
selectItem(position);
}
}
private void selectItem(int position){
Fragment newFragment = new Fragment_1();
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
switch(position){
case 0:
newFragment = new Fragment_1();
break;
case 1:
newFragment = new Fragment_2();
break;
case 2:
newFragment = new Fragment_3();
break;
case 3:
newFragment = new Fragment_4();
break;
case 4:
newFragment = new Fragment_5();
break;
}
fm.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.content_frame, newFragment)
.commit();
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
setTitle(mFragmentTitles[position]);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
}
#Override
public void setTitle(CharSequence title){
mTitle = title;
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(title);
}
#Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig){
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
mDrawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
}
As I said above, the error is under selectItem and specifically error under new Fragment_1(); and again at new Fragment_1();. The eclipse message is Type mismatch: cannot convert from Fragment_1 to Fragment.
This is Fragment_1.java:
package com.rufflez.absnavdrawer;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;
public class Fragment_1 extends FragmentActivity{
WebView webview;
private String url;
ProgressBar pd = null;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// pd = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.web_view_progress_bar);
// webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.WebView);
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
#Override
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress) {
if(progress < 100 && pd.getVisibility() == View.GONE){
pd.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
pd.setProgress(progress);
if(progress == 100) {
pd.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
});
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url){
// do your handling codes here, which url is the requested url
// probably you need to open that url rather than redirect:
if (url.startsWith("tel:")) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse(url)));
} else if (url.startsWith("mailto:")) {
url = url.replaceFirst("mailto:", "");
url = url.trim();
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("plain/text").putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{url});
startActivity(i);
} else {
view.loadUrl(url);
}
return true;
// then it is not handled by default action
}
});
webview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/about.html");
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed()
{
if(webview.canGoBack())
webview.goBack();
else
super.onBackPressed();
}
public void setUrl(String url) {
this.url = url;
}
public String getUrl() {
return url;
}
}

I think you are missing a cast, since new Fragment_1() will return class Fragment_1, and not Fragment.

Oh! Fragment_1() is FragmentActivity Which is an Activity different from Fragment!
see it
Dilemma: when to use Fragments vs Activities:

Your fragment isn't a fragment.
Change onCreate to onCreateView and do this code;
public class Fragment_1 extends SherlockFragment{
i think that is the error.
if not, try rebuilding your fragment in this one
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragment;
public class Fragment_1 extends SherlockFragment{
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState){
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.frag1, container, false);
//change frag1 to corresponding XML
}
}
