Hi I have been going crazy with this.

There are several questions out there but none have seems to fix my problem. I am getting an error when ever I try to style a drawer layout.

<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">

<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
     space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/content_frame"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
    android:layout_width="240dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" 
    android:gravity="start"
    >

    <TextView
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:text="test"
        android:background="@drawable/black"
        android:textColor="#94A1A1"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceListItemSmall"
        android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeightSmall"  
        android:layout_weight="1"      
    />  

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/left_drawer_child"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
        android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
        android:dividerHeight="0dp"
        android:background="#323232"
        android:layout_weight="1"
    />

 </LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

/**
 * This example illustrates a common usage of the DrawerLayout widget
 * in the Android support library.
 * <p/>
 * <p>When a navigation (left) drawer is present, the host activity should detect presses of
 * the action bar's Up affordance as a signal to open and close the navigation drawer. The
 * ActionBarDrawerToggle facilitates this behavior.
 * Items within the drawer should fall into one of two categories:</p>
 * <p/>
 * <ul>
 * <li><strong>View switches</strong>. A view switch follows the same basic policies as
 * list or tab navigation in that a view switch does not create navigation history.
 * This pattern should only be used at the root activity of a task, leaving some form
 * of Up navigation active for activities further down the navigation hierarchy.</li>
 * <li><strong>Selective Up</strong>. The drawer allows the user to choose an alternate
 * parent for Up navigation. This allows a user to jump across an app's navigation
 * hierarchy at will. The application should treat this as it treats Up navigation from
 * a different task, replacing the current task stack using TaskStackBuilder or similar.
 * This is the only form of navigation drawer that should be used outside of the root
 * activity of a task.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p/>
 * <p>Right side drawers should be used for actions, not navigation. This follows the pattern
 * established by the Action Bar that navigation should be to the left and actions to the right.
 * An action should be an operation performed on the current contents of the window,
 * for example enabling or disabling a data overlay on top of the current content.</p>

Any help would be great thanks in advance

Why that LinearLayout in your activityGaiety
I'm guessing you have tried cleaning and rebuilding your project?Dahle
If you can't figure it out, you could remove the LinearLayout as Ansar suggests. You can replace isDrawerOpen(linearLayout) with isDrawerOpen(Gravity.LEFT).Dahle

The view must have either Gravity.LEFT or Gravity.RIGHT to be recognized as a sliding drawer. You can replace

android:gravity="start"

with

android:gravity="left"

or, as suggested above alternatively replace

isDrawerOpen(linearLayout) 

with

isDrawerOpen(Gravity.LEFT)

in my case it was android:layout_gravity="left"Dubrovnik
android:layout_gravity="start" is more correct answerStrontia

I just added

android:layout_gravity="start"

and that worked for me.

I also had such an issue. After I added

android:layout_gravity="left"

everything worked out fine.
