Very strange problem! I created a new project through new project wizard in android studio. I chose to include support libraries for GridLayout, Fragments, NavigationDrawer and ActionBar. In next step I chose BlankActivity Template with NavigationDrawer navigation. Wizard nicely created my project and build it without any problem.
Problem is this, when you try to run it, it works fine on Android 4.3, 4.2 and 2.3.3 but it crashes on 4.0 and 4.1.

This is the onCreateOptionsMenu in fragment
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
// If the drawer is open, show the global app actions in the action bar. See also
// showGlobalContextActionBar, which controls the top-left area of the action bar.
if (mDrawerLayout != null && isDrawerOpen()) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.global, menu);
showGlobalContextActionBar();
}
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
This one is in the MainActivity
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
if (!mNavigationDrawerFragment.isDrawerOpen()) {
// Only show items in the action bar relevant to this screen
// if the drawer is not showing. Otherwise, let the drawer
// decide what to show in the action bar.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
restoreActionBar();
return true;
}
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
