nullpointerexception on calling syncstate() on ActionBarDrawerToggle object

Question

I am getting Null pointer exception on calling the syncstate() function on ActionBarDrawerToggle object.

Navigation_logined.java

public class Navigation_logined extends Fragment {
DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
public Navigation_logined(){

}
public void setUp(DrawerLayout drawerLayout,Toolbar toolbar)
{
    mDrawerLayout=drawerLayout;
    mDrawerToggle=new ActionBarDrawerToggle(getActivity(),mDrawerLayout,toolbar,R.string.drawer_open,R.string.drawer_close){
        @Override
        public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {
            super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);

        }

        @Override
        public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);

        }
    };

    mDrawerLayout.post(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
           //nullpointerexception at this point
           mDrawerToggle.syncState();
        }
    });
    mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);


}
//rest of the class
}

logined.java

public class logined extends ActionBarActivity {
protected Toolbar mToolBar;
String LOGIN_URL="";
static public Context mContext;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(getLayoutResourceIdentifier());

    mToolBar=(Toolbar)findViewById(R.id.screen_default_toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(mToolBar);
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);

    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                .add(R.id.screen_default_container, HomeFragment.newInstance(),"fragment_home").commit();
    }

    Navigation_logined navigation_logined=new Navigation_logined();
    DrawerLayout d=(DrawerLayout)findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    navigation_logined.setUp(d,mToolBar);

}
}

The logcat shows the exception on isLayoutRtl() function of DrawerArrowDrawableToggle subclass of ActionBarDrawerToggle.

Answer 1

You are missing some code in setup function

    layers = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.plans_array);
    drawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
    drawerList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.layout.drawer_list_item, android.R.id.text1,layers));

where text1 is textview inside drawer_list_item layout and plans_array is array of strings of list items
