Problems trying to open the Navigationdrawer with the Home Button on the Toolbar

Question

I’m trying to open the Navigationdrawer of my application in my Main Activity through the home button available on Toolbar when using Actionbardrawertoggle, but when pressing the button my application stops working.

Image referring to the home button and the Navigationdrawer:

I don’t know if the problem is in the Navigationdrawer but you can only open it by sliding your finger on the left side of the device. As said before while using button to open it occurs error posted below.

Error found:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No drawer view found with gravity LEFT

Try using the Navigationview component of the new Material Design support library. It’s simpler and will solve your problem.

Follow this example:
