ActivityMainWallet.java with error lines:

drawerToolbar = (Toolbar)findViewById(R.id.drawer_toolbar);
    drawerToolbar.setTitle(getString(R.string.app_name));
    drawerToolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha);
    drawerToolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

Main layout XML: http://pastebin.com/4UjqqZUk

Thanks a lot guys!

EDIT

I've got now in my java file:

  drawerToolbar = (Toolbar)findViewById(R.id.toolbarInner);
    drawerToolbar.setTitle(getString(R.string.app_name));
    drawerToolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha);
    drawerToolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            openAndCloseDrawer();
        }
    });

And also in toolbar.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/toolbar" >

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbarInner"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
            app:titleTextAppearance="@style/AppTheme.Widget.Toolbar.Title"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme.Widget.Toolbar"
            app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
            android:elevation="8dp"
            android:paddingBottom="0dp"
            android:layout_margin="0dp"/>


</RelativeLayout>

Also in main xml layout nothing changed. The same error. Help me!

Answer 1

drawerToolbar = (Toolbar)findViewById(R.id.toolbarInner);

should under the setContentView(R.layout.your_loayout);

because otherwise findViewById() don't know how to find R.id.toolbarInner or which file to find.

Answer 2

The error is clear enough :

Void android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar.setTitle(java.lang.CharSequence)' on a null object reference

The id drawer_toolbar isn't in your provided file : - toolbar.xml: pastebin.com/JrXBFbwy

The toolbar id in your java file ActivityMainWallet.java and the toolbar id in your xml file toolbar.xml need to be the same .

Answer 3

toolbar.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#344955"
        >
</androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar>

Now you have to include a layout in your XML file as follow

activity_user_data.xml

<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#356859"
    tools:context=".UserDataActivity">

    <include
        layout="@layout/toolbar"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Now, finally, in your java file, you have to simply follow some simple steps

        toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        toolbar.setTitle("User's Data");
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

Answer 4

I didn't find drawer_toolbar in your layout file. Try to inlude it and after you can set title on it.
