cannot resolve symbol 'toolbar' r.id.toolbar

Question

i'm trying to create a sliding drawer. I spent forever getting my imports to match my code, in terms of getSupportActionBar vs getActionBar etc., I suspect the issue is somewhere in the activity_main.xml but I'm at a loss for what to put there.

MainActivity.java

package me.paxana.alerta;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;

Answer 1

Why are you using android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar for your main_layout root tag? That's not what android says.

You should use that Toolbar just for using Toolbar with your activity.

See: setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

That won't work at all.

Use it like this:

<?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"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="me.paxana.alerta.MainActivity">

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="@color/ColorPrimary"
        app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
        app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
        app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/lv_sliding_menu"
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:background="#FFFFFF"
        android:choiceMode="singleChoice" />
</RelativeLayout>

I'd rather to use CoordinatorLayout with AppCompat or this Toolbar implementation too.

Also,

//display icon to open/close slider
        mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);

Here you were using toolbar as that Toolbar id.

Use it like this in your xml:

android:id="@+id/toolbar"

Above code should work now.Also, you've many not used in your imports like:

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;

and etc.

Read the docs please.

Answer 2

Use this

R.id.drawer_layout

Instead of

R.id.toolbar
