Cannot get navigation drawer to function

I've been at this for hours and can't seem to get the drawer to show up at all. Here is my code maybe someone can tell me what is wrong here... The app runs with no errors until I get to the activity with the Drawer then it crashes.
Here is my code:

return true;
}
});
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override

//GlobalClass flavorPref = ((GlobalClass)getApplicationContext());
String flavorPicked = String.valueOf(adapterView.getItemAtPosition(position));
if (flavorPicked.equals("Kansas City")) {
Intent intent = new Intent(FlavorListView.this, KansasCity.class);
startActivity(intent);
setContentView(R.layout.kansas_city);
Toast.makeText(FlavorListView.this, "Looks like " + flavorPicked +
" style be your flavor! You can change your flavor anytime in the settings menu.",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

}
}
});
}
}
I'm getting a java.lang.NullPointerException and the debugger is saying at (FlavorListView.java:57) which is at mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
IF I comment this line out the app runs but no drawer...
please help. thanks :)

If you're getting an NPE there, then mDrawerLayout must be null. Make sure drawer_layout is the right ID to find the drawer in your XML. You need to inflate the Drawer Layout XML file too. You almost have it right (you need to replace menu_welcome below with the name of your file):
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_welcome, action_setting);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) action_setting.findViewById(R.id.navigation_drawer);

Place below code in your onCreate and NOT in
onCreateOptionMenu
/------------------------------------------------------------/
mTitle = mDrawerTitle = getTitle();
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.navigation_drawer);
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(FlavorListView.this, mDrawerLayout,R.drawable.ic_menu,
R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close) {
/** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely closed state. */
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
super.onDrawerClosed(view);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
invalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to onPrepareOptionsMenu()
}
/** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely open state. */
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mDrawerTitle);
invalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to onPrepareOptionsMenu()
}
};
// Set the drawer toggle as the DrawerListener
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);

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
android:minHeight="48dip"

Navigation Drawer freezing when adding Gridview to the activity

I am using a navigation drawer and a grid view on the same activity but once i did that, i am not able to scroll or click anything on the activity. Moreover, navigation drawer also refuses to open or respond to touch. I have checked my code at least 3 times now but still i cant figure out why its not working.

I checked the steps from this page : creating a navigation drawer The thing is if i remove the drawer or the grid view, everything works fine. I tried invalidating cache and restart (using IntelliJ) but still no luck. Checked other questions on SO but till now no luck in resolving this.

I had to move the onclick listener of the gridview inside the gridview adaptor class itself and then things started working.. not sure why this happened.

NavigationDrawer using only Android Support Library

is there any example project which use only Android Support Library (revision 18) to implement Navigation Drawer on Android +2.2 without using any additional library (ABS etc.) ? Here is the example which use ASL but it's work only on API +14 : http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html .
Here is my MainActivity:
package com.example.android.navigationdrawerexample;
import java.util.Locale;
import android.app.Activity;
//import android.app.Fragment;
//import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.app.SearchManager;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.res.Configuration;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;

private CharSequence mDrawerTitle;
private CharSequence mTitle;
private String[] mPlanetTitles;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mTitle = mDrawerTitle = getTitle();
mPlanetTitles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.planets_array);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
// set a custom shadow that overlays the main content when the drawer opens
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, GravityCompat.START);
// set up the drawer's list view with items and click listener
mDrawerList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
R.layout.drawer_list_item, mPlanetTitles));
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());
// enable ActionBar app icon to behave as action to toggle nav drawer

getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
/* ActionBarDrawerToggle ties together the the proper interactions
between the sliding drawer and the action bar app icon */
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(

inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
/* Called whenever we call invalidateOptionsMenu() */
#Override

menu.findItem(R.id.action_websearch).setVisible(!drawerOpen);
return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// The action bar home/up action should open or close the drawer.
// ActionBarDrawerToggle will take care of this.
if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
// Handle action buttons
switch(item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_websearch:
// create intent to perform web search for this planet
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_WEB_SEARCH);
intent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, getActionBar().getTitle());
// catch event that there's no activity to handle intent
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivity(intent);
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, R.string.app_not_available, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
/* The click listner for ListView in the navigation drawer */
private class DrawerItemClickListener implements ListView.OnItemClickListener {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

}
}
private void selectItem(int position) {
// update the main content by replacing fragments
Fragment fragment = new PlanetFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt(PlanetFragment.ARG_PLANET_NUMBER, position);
fragment.setArguments(args);
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment).commit();
// update selected item and title, then close the drawer
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
setTitle(mPlanetTitles[position]);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
}
#Override
public void setTitle(CharSequence title) {
mTitle = title;
getActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
}
/**

/**

public static class PlanetFragment extends Fragment {
public static final String ARG_PLANET_NUMBER = "planet_number";
public PlanetFragment() {
// Empty constructor required for fragment subclasses
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_planet, container, false);
int i = getArguments().getInt(ARG_PLANET_NUMBER);
String planet = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.planets_array)[i];
int imageId = getResources().getIdentifier(planet.toLowerCase(Locale.getDefault()),
"drawable", getActivity().getPackageName());
((ImageView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.image)).setImageResource(imageId);
getActivity().setTitle(planet);
return rootView;
}
}
}
and of course i change minSdk to 8 but it still doesn't work.

First you need to extend ActionBarActivity instead of FragmentActivity
Second change your App Theme to #style/Theme.AppCompat or #style/Theme.AppCompat.Light
Third change every call to getActionBar() for getSupportActionBar() and invalidateOptionsMenu() for supportInvalidateOptionsMenu()
That should do, here is the google example using AppCompat-v7 i did to test it, I also used a custom adapter for the listview just ignore that :)
https://github.com/BradleyRL/NavDrawerExampleAppCompat-v7

all you have to do is just import the v4 support library in your project and you can just follow the example in the docs that you linked.
its the same thing for any version of android 2.2 and up, just substitute any fragment use with support fragment usage from the library

What makes you think it only works on API 14+? If it's the minSDKVersion in the Manifest in the downloadable example, I guess that's just to have the Holo Theme they use.
Just change minSDKVersion to 8 or so and fix what needs fixing to match it. The NavigationDrawer itself should work with SDKVersions down to 4 as it's in the v4 version of the support library.
