please help to solve his NullpointerException in ActionBarDrawerToggle.

This question not just about NullpointerException exception as tell me duplicate like: NullpointerException

Answer 1

in above code you have pass toolbar as a null thats why its gives you java.lang.NullPointerException

Here is Sample code

toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);

ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
            this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
    drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
    toggle.syncState();
