navigation drawer made from android studio : android.view.InflateException: Error inflating class fragment

I am a complete beginner in android studio with java and I have run across this error which seems to be very frequent here . I have seen solutions but nothing has helped so far . In my code I have created a navigation drawer using the already made one from android studio . When I try to run the app I get :
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.covidmobileapp/com.example.covidmobileapp.MainActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #15 in com.example.covidmobileapp:layout/activity_main: Binary XML file line #20 in com.example.covidmobileapp:layout/content_main: Error inflating class fragment
Which seems to spot errors in 2 xml files I have : activity_main.xml and content_main.xml
Goind down the stack trace it seems that the error hits when the app view is created
at com.example.covidmobileapp.MainActivity.onCreate(MainActivity.java:55)
This is my code for the files above :
MainActivity.java
package com.example.covidmobileapp;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Menu;
import com.google.android.material.snackbar.Snackbar;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private AppBarConfiguration mAppBarConfiguration;
private ActivityMainBinding binding;
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
setContentView(binding.getRoot());
setSupportActionBar(binding.appBarMain.toolbar);
binding.appBarMain.fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
.setAction("Action", null).show();
}
});
DrawerLayout drawer = binding.drawerLayout;
NavigationView navigationView = binding.navView;
// Passing each menu ID as a set of Ids because each
// menu should be considered as top level destinations.
mAppBarConfiguration = new AppBarConfiguration.Builder(
R.id.nav_home, R.id.nav_gallery, R.id.nav_slideshow , R.id.nav_homepage)
.setDrawerLayout(drawer)
.build();
NavController navController = Navigation.findNavController(this, R.id.nav_host_fragment_content_main);
NavigationUI.setupActionBarWithNavController(this, navController, mAppBarConfiguration);
NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(navigationView, navController);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onSupportNavigateUp() {
NavController navController = Navigation.findNavController(this, R.id.nav_host_fragment_content_main);
return NavigationUI.navigateUp(navController, mAppBarConfiguration)
|| super.onSupportNavigateUp();
}
}
content_main.xml I have commented the line where the fragment error hits

I would appreciate your help as this is really frustrating . If more info is needed I will upload it .

I think you should declare:
NavigationView leftNavigationView;
in your main activity and get you nav view in on create method:
leftNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
setLeftNavigationView();
Then you havae to use setNavigationItemSelectedListener. You can create a method like this:
private void setLeftNavigationView() {
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this,
drawerLayout,
toolbar,
R.string.navigation_drawer_open,
R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawerLayout.addDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
leftNavigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(item -> {
Fragment selectedFragment = null;
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.nav_yourFragment:
selectedFragment = new YourFragment();
drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
break;
}
getSupportFragmentManager()
.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.fragment_container, selectedFragment).addToBackStack("tag")
.commit();
return true;
});
and so on. R.id.nav_yourFragment is your item from your menu
Also you have to put a FrameLayout container in your xml file:
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/fragment_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
I hope this is useful for you

DrawerToggle Hamburger icon not showing

I am new to android. currently, I am making an android app with a navigation drawer. I managed to add the drawer. and when slid it works properly. but my problem is I cannot manage to add a hamburger icon.
my minimum sdk version is 17
I tried every solution given in the previous problems but didn't work.
My main activity code
package com.example.myapplication;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import androidx.appcompat.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar;
import androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar myToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(myToolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDefaultDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
DrawerLayout drawer =(DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, R.string.open, R.string.close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
toggle.syncState();
}
// Menu icons are inflated just as they were with actionbar
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
}
my xml code

Everything looks fine, You just need to pass the toolbar object into the ActionBarDrawerToggle constructer as a third argument.
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, myToolbar, R.string.open, R.string.close);
here

Check out the following example:
MainActivity.class
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();
private ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = null;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar myToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(myToolbar);
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
final ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
if (actionBar != null) {
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
actionBar.setDefaultDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, myToolbar, R.string.open, R.string.close) {
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
}
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
}
};
toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
if(toggle != null) {
toggle.syncState();
}
}
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
if (toggle != null) {
toggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
}
}

Need some help bottom menu

Hello guys so i'm watching a tutorial and not sure if i'm doing this right!
So i have an app like this picture
SideBar
and i want to add a bottom menu for my event fragment
Bottom menu
so what i made until now

app>res>menu
bottom_navigation.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item

How to use own layout for navigation drawer activity instead of auto generated layout?

I have a navigation drawer activity, that have automatically generated these activity_student_home2, app_bar_student_home, content_student_home, nav_header_student_home layout files. I have separately created activity_student_home layout.By default the activity java class has the acitivity_student_home2 layout as setContentView. But instead, I want to use the acitivity_student_home layout. If I try to change the setContentView to acitivity_student_home then my navigation drawer view does not work. How can I use the acitivity_student_home layout as setContentView?

Your activity_student_home does not include your DrawerLayout
This is missing
<include
layout="#layout/app_bar_student_home"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />

The correct way to do what you wish is (if I understand what you are asking for correctly) to use fragments
Inside your app_bar_student_home.xml replace
<include layout="#layout/content_student_home" />
with something like this
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
Then create fragments whose content you wish to show (let's say FragmentA, FragmentB) and set their contentview to the different layouts you wish to show
when you wish to change the content for your activity you can do something like
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content, new FragmentA()).commit();
there's a lot more to it than this,
for example when you wish to send a click event from the fragment to your activity you have to use getActivity() and cast it to the class of your MainActivity or use an interface (preferable)

How do I fix: No view found for id 0x7f0d00aa?

I've seen people with the same issue and they said that there is something wrong with the .replace() and the way I've constructed the way the fragment and container are written using the: fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace
(R.id.container, new Fragment()).commit();
And that I must do it some other way, which I implemented into my code but I still got the Error.
ERROR:
