My application crashes as soon as I try to link my custom toolbar with ActionBarDrawerToggle. Following is my code:
package com.example.customnavdrawerapp;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.appcompat.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.core.view.GravityCompat;
import androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout;
import android.app.TaskStackBuilder;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.widget.Toolbar;
import com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
NavigationView navView;
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle;
DrawerLayout drawerLayout;
androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar toolbarr; //THIS AS SOON AS DEFINED WITH ID SHOWS ERROR
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
toolbarr = findViewById(R.id.toolbar); //REMOVE THIS LINE AND THE APP WORKS PERFECT, BUT DOESN'T OPEN THE NAVIGATION VIEW ON CLICKING THE TOOLBAR
navView = findViewById(R.id.navMenu);
drawerLayout = findViewById(R.id.drawer);
toggle= new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this,drawerLayout,toolbarr,R.string.open,R.string.close);
drawerLayout.addDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
navView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item)
{
switch (item.getItemId())
{
case R.id.menu_home:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Home panel is open",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
break;
case R.id.menu_call:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Call panel is open",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
break;
case R.id.menu_setting:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Setting panel is open",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
break;
}
return true;
}
});
}
}
I have added comments in the code to show what is causing the error.
The application keeps stopping if I define the toolbar.

Kindly help me resolve the issue. I have recently started android development so sorry if this question does not pass the site's standards.
Without see the XML you seem to be using two different libraries.
import android.widget.Toolbar; //you are using this in you code but using this androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar in your XML
They are not the same so when you are doing this
toolbarr = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
toolbarr = android.widget.Toolbar
findViewById(R.id.toolbar); = androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
Simple fix remove import android.widget.Toolbar;
and add
import androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
