Add image ABOVE item list in navigation drawer

I am trying to add image above itemss in navigation drawer to represent avatar. Following layout gaves me class cast exception as framelayout cannot be casted to 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"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" >

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/content_frame"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" >

        <include
            android:id="@+id/loader"
            layout="@layout/loading_view" />

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/listView1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" >
        </ListView>
    </FrameLayout>

     <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/drawer_frame"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" >


        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/im_avatar"
            android:layout_width="200dip"
            android:layout_height="200dip"
            android:background="#000000" />

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
            android:layout_width="240dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_gravity="start"
            android:background="#111"
            android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
            android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
            android:dividerHeight="0dp" />
    </FrameLayout>

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

What will be a work around?

Move the layout_gravity=start up to the FrameLayout tag which is the container of the ListView where you currently have it assigned (id = drawer_frame). The start gravity attribute value is special for the DrawerLayout and is meant for the top level container of the sliding drawer on the left.
