I am to develop Android NavigationDrawer using ActionBarSherlock. My Manifest API Level is 8. I have used all the packages from Sherlock but still i am facing some annoying errors.

JAVA Code-:

package com.example.android.navigationdrawerexample;

import java.util.Locale;

import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockActivity;
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragment;
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragmentActivity;

public class MainActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mTitle = mDrawerTitle = getTitle();
    mPlanetTitles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.planets_array);
    mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);

    // set a custom shadow that overlays the main content when the drawer opens
    mDrawerLayout.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, GravityCompat.START);
    // set up the drawer's list view with items and click listener
    mDrawerList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
            R.layout.drawer_list_item, mPlanetTitles));
    mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());

    // enable ActionBar app icon to behave as action to toggle nav drawer


      getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

This is the above error I am facing in my error. The error in the Logcat is also not clear. Please give some solution so that I can develop a NavigationDrawer for API Level 8 or for older Android versions.

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.example.android.navigationdrawerexample.MainActivity in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/data/app/com.example.android.navigationdrawerexample-2.apk]

It might the problem of your manifest. Please add your MainActivity to the AndroidManifest.xml. Check for package name and other attributes if it's already added.

And then clean your project. Go to Project tab in Eclipse menu and click on clean.

  • I have already added the MainActivity in Manifest.... please let me know if any more things i need to add in the manifest... – Anshuman Pattnaik Mar 05 '14 at 17:47
  • You are missing first line in Manifest. Add this: – VipulKumar Mar 05 '14 at 17:53
  • Sometimes giving full path of activity in manifest also works for it. Try changing your ".MainActivity" to "package_name.MainActivity". Also, this is caused by using third party libraries which use android support library. so check your libraries under java build path if you're using a third party library. Don't forget to clean project every time. – VipulKumar Mar 05 '14 at 18:05
  • Yaa Man , i have added the .MainActitvity with package name but still i am getting the same error , i am getting confused now whether NavigationDrawer is possible in Android API Level 8 or not.... – Anshuman Pattnaik Mar 05 '14 at 18:08
  • It is. I am currently on a project with this. Actually this error is occurred by so many causes. Most of them are silly mistakes. See here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4688277/java-lang-runtimeexception-unable-to-instantiate-activity-componentinfo – VipulKumar Mar 05 '14 at 18:11
  • No man , i have followed all your instruction , but still i am getting the same error ... – Anshuman Pattnaik Mar 05 '14 at 18:22
  • If you followed all the instructions on given link (there are too many) then i guess we are out of luck friend. You will have to keep looking and figure it out. However there are a few more similar questions. check this too http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6147241/android-app-classnotfoundexception-for-main-activity – VipulKumar Mar 05 '14 at 18:31
