Answer 1

Error:

Illegal Argument Exception - DrawerLayout must be measured with MeasureSpec.EXACTLY

From error log i can suggest to create custom class that extends DrawerLayout and forcing the correct Measure_Specs:

public class MyDrawerLayout extends DrawerLayout {

    public MyDrawerLayout(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public MyDrawerLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public MyDrawerLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
        widthMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(
                MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec), MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);
        heightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(
                MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec), MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);
        super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
    }

}

or As a temporary workaround try to set layout_width and/or layout_height to a specific size (e.g. 500dp) instead of match_parent.

EDIT:

BaseActivity.java

import com.steve.database.MyDrawerLayout;

private MyDrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
private ListView mDrawerList;


LayoutInflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater) getApplicationContext()
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

View mCustomView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_actionbar, null);

mDrawerLayout = (MyDrawerLayout)mCustomView.findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView)mCustomView.findViewById(R.id.list_menu);
