I'm trying to develop an app that has a Navigation Drawer and a Fragment to display data. This is my app activity stack:
->Login(checks if it's logged in, it skips loading the view and proceeds to Timeline)
->Timeline
This is the way I get the error:
->I start the app
->It bypasses the Login screen because I'm already logged in
->Everything looks fine, then I click Log Out from the Menu Drawer or press Back Button
->I get back to the Login Screen
->Now if I press Login again and start the Timeline activity again, my app crashes...
Here are the codes. This is the logcat:

I've been searching for way too long and I still couldn't find a solution. Please take a look and post me what you think it's the problem!
Thanks a lot!
Okay I've fixed the bug. I've been using the wrong Flag for the intent. This is the fix:
I inserted this where I'm starting the Timeline activity, and on the Log Out button too. Now I don't get that NullPointerException error on setContentView.
