I also encountered the same problem,Error exactly,Later I found out wrong here:menu->item->android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_camera",thisic_menu_camera header has vector only used in v21 or higher,so in system 5.0 or less useing can get the problems,than you can copy the following code in values folder and Named "drawables".code:<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item name="ic_menu_camera" type="drawable">@android:drawable/ic_menu_camera</item> <item name="ic_menu_gallery" type="drawable">@android:drawable/ic_menu_gallery</item> <item name="ic_menu_slideshow" type="drawable">@android:drawable/ic_menu_slideshow</item> <item name="ic_menu_manage" type="drawable">@android:drawable/ic_menu_manage</item> <item name="ic_menu_share" type="drawable">@android:drawable/ic_menu_share</item> <item name="ic_menu_send" type="drawable">@android:drawable/ic_menu_send</item> </resources>

Try replacing android:layout_gravity="start"with android:layout_gravity="right" inside NavigationView layout.

check your navigation view by removing one of these and check your code is working or not

  • app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header"
  • app:menu="@menu/drawer"

if your logcat says cause by resourcenotfoundexception with your above error. issue may be with a icon file/resource file in drawers. if it coming from menu/drawer try changing icons and add icons to drawer folder and to drawer-v21. hope this helps
