NullPointerException on Activity onCreate

I'm getting this error and I don't know why. This same code was working before; the problem started occuring after an update at some point.

Stack trace:

Here's the offending code in MainActivity.java: 

...

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    if (BuildConfig.DEBUG){ Log.d(TAG, "Created in debug mode"); }

    NavigationDrawerFragment mNavigationDrawerFragment = (NavigationDrawerFragment)
        getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.navigation_drawer);

    // Set up the drawer.
    Log.d(TAG, "Setting up drawer");
    mNavigationDrawerFragment.setUp( // Line 40
        R.id.navigation_drawer,
        (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout)
    );

...

I've found two questions that seem to have similar problems. (Here's the first and the second) The first doesn't seem relevant, and the second is unanswered.

I'm baffled. drawer_layout and navigation_drawer do not throw "symbol unresolved" errors. Like I said, this all used to work...

You are never calling Activity.setContentView(int). This is how it should be:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.layout_containing_drawer);

    // Rest.
}
