Android DrawerLayout component

I have some problems with the DrawerLayout component. I'm using the android-support-v4 jar and when I'm launching the app I have this exception :

I don't understand why do I have this exception, I included the jar in project properties...

Here is my xml file :

<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" />

    <!-- 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>

If you have any idea about where is the problem, you're welcome... Thanks :)

I had the same problem with using Android Studio. I had a number of build dependencies, among them the support-v4 library. Everything worked well until I integrated the DrawerLayout - that's where the above error occurred.

I resolved it by simply removing the support-v4 library from the dependencies. It was already included by another dependency (in my case the Facebook SDK), and it seems that this was causing the trouble (maybe due to different versions). Maybe this helps someone in a similar position :)

Add android-support-v4 to your build path
