Android studio can't see id of layout inside class

I'm creating sliding menu, this is how looks like my activity_main.xml file


<androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/drawerLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".app.MainActivity">

   (...)

</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>

And inside MainActivity when I try to create ActionBarDrawToggle like that:

toggle = ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawerLayout , R.string.open, R.string.close)

but drawerLayout is not know, highlighted on red. I've try to change that by "androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout", invalidate cache, but without result.

You need to pass your DrawerLayout View Object after you inflate your activity in the onCreate method, the code would look like this:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.your_activity_layout)

        val drawerLayout = findViewById<DrawerLayout>(R.id.drawerLayout)
        toggle = ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawerLayout , R.string.open, R.string.close)

    }

}
