LinearLayout Cannot Be Cast to ListView

I am working on making a navigation drawer using the in house code generated by Android Studio. I am trying to create my own custom layout for the navigation drawer, it seems the only difference between my custom layout and the one generated by Android Studio is that it uses tools:context = ".ACTIVITYNAME"
and that the ListView is the root layout.
Then I get the stack trace error, as the title suggests that a LinearLayout cannot be casted to a ListView.
CUSTOM LAYOUT FOR NAVDRAWER

I am confused. I was hoping it would be easier to alter the code. I just want to add an image header above the list view.

You have to define ID of each item in your layout and then get that item by its ID in your code.
For example your custom layout will look like this (look at android:id="#+id/listView")
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/Dark_Grey"
tools:context=".NavigationDrawerFragment">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:src="#drawable/bitsnbytes_logo_phrase"
android:padding="10dp"/>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#color/DARK_GREEN"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Then in your fragment
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = (View) inflater.inflate(
R.layout.your_custom_navdrawer, container, false); // make sure it's your custom layout the one like above
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.imageView); //id same as in your layout
mDrawerListView = (ListView) view.findViewById(R.id.listView); //id same as in your layout
}

My problem not solved yet,
thanks for your help

You can change NavigationDrawerFragment.xml to a LinearLayout or a RelativeLayout, then include an ImageView inside it. Just be sure to change the line
mDrawerListView = (ListView) inflater.inflate(
R.layout.fragment_navigation_drawer, container, false);
to know about your changes, eg:
View drawerView = inflater.inflate(
R.layout.fragment_navigation_drawer, container, false);
mDrawerListView = (ListView) drawerView.findViewById(R.id.drawerList);
mDrawerImageView = (ImageView) drawerView.findViewById(R.id.drawerImageView);
I hope you can see what I mean.

Cannot get navigation drawer to function

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);
Read the example codes carefully before using it

Navigation Drawer does not open

In my application I want to use Navigation Drawer and Action Bar in all Activities. Therefore In MainActivity I had declared them and other activities extends from this MainActivity. Now ActionBar works fine in Other activities also, But Navigation drawer does not opens in other activities. icon of drawer is visible in other activities but it is not open. If i remove setContentView from other activities then drawer works perfectly. But after setting setContentView it shows only icon but does not open.
following is my MainActivity code:

Here after commenting setContentView Navigation drawer works but after setting setContentView layout it only shows icon but does not open. Why is it so? What wrong in this? Any suggestion will be apprecited. Thanks in advance.

How can I use the Navigation Drawer without fragments?

I'm trying to follow this tutorial on how to create a Navigation Drawer, but I don't want to use Fragments to show new content after the user select an item from the drawer list. What's the best aproach to get around this problem?
I'm using API 10 which doesn't implements Fragments.

First, API 10 has access to fragments via the same Android Support package that contains the DrawerLayout. This has been around for over two years, and you should not be trying to mess with new things like DrawerLayout if you are unfamiliar with what Android has had for the past two years.
Second, there is nothing with DrawerLayout that is tied to fragments. Quoting the Web page that you linked to:
When the user selects an item in the drawer's list, the system calls onItemClick() on the OnItemClickListener given to setOnItemClickListener(). What you do in the onItemClick() method depends on how you've implemented your app structure.
If you read those two sentences closely, you will see that the word "fragment" appears in neither of them. That is because DrawerLayout is not tied to fragments. The sample code they show uses fragments, but that is merely sample code.
Hence, you are welcome to update your UI however you want:
execute a FragmentTransaction using the Android Support package's backport of fragments, or
start an activity, or
call setContentView() again on your existing activity, or
otherwise modify the UI of the existing activity (e.g., hide/show some widgets)

You may use also LayoutInflater class.
Create xml layout file.
Find the View to change using findViewById.
Remove all children from the found View using .removeAllViews() method.
Inflate xml layout content into found View using .inflate() method.
This is an example:
LinearLayout layoutToChange = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout_to_change);
layoutToChange.removeAllViews();
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
LinearLayout newLayout = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.new_layout, null);
layoutToChange.addView(newLayout);
