I am getting "Null pointer exception for getResourceID()". If someone suggest me where i am going wrong in coding.
Error message:

I can't guess the exact problem. Would be grateful for any guidance.
You need to initialize your TypedArray inside your onCreate() method. You have a comment
// nav drawer icons from resources
but you don't have any code below it. For example:
