I have the following code in my MainActivity.java class:
private NavigationView nvDrawer;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Set a Toolbar to replace the ActionBar.
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
// Find our drawer view
mDrawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
// Setup drawer view
setupDrawerContent(nvDrawer);
}
private void setupDrawerContent(NavigationView navigationView) {
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(
new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {
selectDrawerItem(menuItem);
return true;
}
});
}
The output of the LogCat states the following:
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.support.design.widget.NavigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(android.support.design.widget.NavigationView$OnNavigationItemSelectedListener)' on a null object reference

So, the navigationView argument passed to the setupDrawerContent() method is a null object and calling the listener method on it causes this exception. Any suggestions how I could fix this problem?
