Also theme I am using is appcompact no action bar.

Main activity:

    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/container">

    <!-- Your normal content view -->
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:id = "@+id/toolbar_container">

        <!-- We use a Toolbar so that our drawer can be displayed
             in front of the action bar -->
        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

You should use only two layouts within a DrawerLayout. One layout for the main content, another layout for the drawer(i.e., NavigationView). Currently you have three layouts. Try removing the Framelayout and running the code.

I removed frame layout still its throwing same exception.@Srijith N – Sid Sep 23 '16 at 12:01
let me check your xml – Srijith Sep 23 '16 at 12:03
checked your xml code. It works fine. Try removing the menu and header layout from the NavigationView. Also remove the LinearLayout inside NavigationView and check. – Srijith Sep 23 '16 at 12:11
but I need it header. @Srijith N – Sid Sep 23 '16 at 12:14
