Thanks, for the answers!

`at wagner.com.meuartesanato.home.MainActivity.loadDrawer(MainActivity.java:59)` This tells you that the error occurs on line 59 of MainActivity.java. Start there. — Code-Apprentice, Feb 12 '17 at 02:05

The stack trace clearly says what is missing. You could have actually found out the programming error by carefully reviewing your code. Anyways modify the following line in your onCreate method. You were inflating the wrong layout

What it is now - setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

What you should change it to - setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
