extending navigation drawer activity to other activities

In the main activity you have to call super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) after setContentView()

The problem appears that the base class is not aware of the layout. Not sure how or why it worked for others without having to do something like this.. but I am new to Android.

I was getting the same error and solved by passing my layout to the base via onCreate.

So in the base, I modified onCreate to be like this:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState, int resLayoutID)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(resLayoutID);

Then, from my new activity, I have this:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState, R.layout.my_activity);

This code in my base now works instead of staying null:

drawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);

btw, this result was suggested to me by a friend and it worked for me.

On the parent classBaseActivity:

  • declare a protected abstract int getLayoutId();

  • onCreate() I added the line

    setContentView(getLayoutId());
    

Now implement it on your subclass MainActivity something like:

 protected int getLayoutId() {
    return R.layout.activity_profile;
}

Please tell me if you know a better solution.

As suggested by oli, you need to call setContentView(R.layout.activity_view) in your main activity.

BaseActivity's onCreate must be called once content view in Main Activity has been set as shown below :

public class BaseActivity extends Activity {
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // REST Navigation drawer initialization
    }

}



public class MainActivity extends BaseActivity {

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

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

        // REST APPLICATION CODE
    }
}

Your xml file should look something like this, taken from the android website: http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <!-- The main content view -->
    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/content_frame"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" >
        <!-- Add content here -->
    </FrameLayout>

    <!-- The navigation drawer -->
    <ListView android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
        android:layout_width="240dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
        android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
        android:dividerHeight="0dp"
        android:background="#111"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

In you MainActivity just put set setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) before

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

like below:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_profile);
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
