Im am trying to create a drawer navigation into a gingerbread project using the android support library i have succcesfully installed the support library and am trying to pass a string array into the drawer list however i'm getting a null pointer exception in the array and not sure why. Does anyone know how to implement a drawer layout correctly within older versions of Android?
heres what i have done so far not sure if its the right way to do this.
mainpage.java
String[] mPlanetTitles = {
"Abundance",
"Anxiety",
"Bruxism",
"Discipline",
"Drug Addiction"
};
//mPlanetTitles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.menu_array);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
// Set the adapter for the list view
mDrawerList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
R.layout.drawer_list_item, android.R.id.text1, mPlanetTitles));
}
drawer_list_item
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="18dp"
android:text="Large Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
</RelativeLayout>
