Adding a Sliding Menu to a Tab Layout

up This is my first time I implement a Sliding Menu in Android. I downloaded a sample


vote0do code which works perfectly. Then I tried to merge it with a Tab layout but the app keeps
wn votefavorite
force closing when I press the tab which contains the Sliding Menu. Each code works
1 alone perfectly.TabLayout Code:

public class AndroidTabLayoutActivity extends TabActivity {


/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.tab_main);
TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
// Tab for Photos
TabSpec photospec = tabHost.newTabSpec("Photos");
// setting Title and Icon for the Tab
photospec.setIndicator("Photos");
Intent photosIntent = new Intent(this, PhotosActivity.class);
photospec.setContent(photosIntent);
// Tab for Songs
TabSpec songspec = tabHost.newTabSpec("Songs");
songspec
.setIndicator("Songs");
Intent songsIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
songspec.setContent(songsIntent);
// Tab for Videos
TabSpec videospec = tabHost.newTabSpec("Videos");
videospec.setIndicator("Videos");
Intent videosIntent = new Intent(this, VideosActivity.class);
videospec.setContent(videosIntent);

// Adding all TabSpec to TabHost


tabHost.addTab(photospec); // Adding photos tab
tabHost.addTab(songspec); // Adding songs tab
tabHost.addTab(videospec); // Adding videos tab
}
}
Main Activity Code which contains the Sling Menu:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {


private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
private ListView mDrawerList;
private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;

// nav drawer title


private CharSequence mDrawerTitle;

// used to store app title


private CharSequence mTitle;

// slide menu items

mTitle = mDrawerTitle = getTitle();

// load slide menu items


navMenuTitles =
getResources().getStringArray(R.array.nav_drawer_items);

// nav drawer icons from resources


navMenuIcons = getResources()
.obtainTypedArray(R.array.nav_drawer_icons);

mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);


mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_slidermenu);

navDrawerItems = new ArrayList<NavDrawerItem>();

// adding nav drawer items to array


// Home
navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[0],
navMenuIcons.getResourceId(0, -1)));

navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[1],
navMenuIcons.getResourceId(1, -1)));

// Communities, Will add a counter here
navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[3],
navMenuIcons.getResourceId(3, -1), true, "22"));

// What's hot, We will add a counter here
navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[5],
navMenuIcons.getResourceId(5, -1), true, "50+"));

// Recycle the typed array


navMenuIcons.recycle();

mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new SlideMenuClickListener());
