you must use import android support v7 app ActionBarDrawerToggle   and use the constructor   public CustomActionBarDrawerToggle Activity mActivity DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout        super mActivity  mDrawerLayout  R string ns menu open  R string ns menu close       and if the drawer toggle button becomes dark then you must use the supportActionBar provided in the support library    You can implement supportActionbar from this link  http   developer android com training basics actionbar setting-up html

There s no need for you to use super-call of the ActionBarDrawerToggle which requires the Toolbar  This means instead of using the following constructor   ActionBarDrawerToggle Activity activity  DrawerLayout drawerLayout  Toolbar toolbar  int openDrawerContentDescRes  int closeDrawerContentDescRes    You should use this one   ActionBarDrawerToggle Activity activity  DrawerLayout drawerLayout  int openDrawerContentDescRes  int closeDrawerContentDescRes    So basically the only thing you have to do is to remove your custom drawable   super mActivity  mDrawerLayout  R string ns menu open  R string ns menu close     More about the  new  ActionBarDrawerToggle in the Docs  click

Adding only android-support-v7-appcompat jar to library dependencies is not enough  you have also to import in your project the module that you can find in your SDK at the path  android-sdk extras android support v7 appcompatand after that add module dependencies configuring the project structure in this way    otherwise are included only the class files of support library and the app is not able to load the other resources causing the error   In addition as reVerse suggested replace this  public CustomActionBarDrawerToggle Activity mActivity                                             DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout                super mActivity  mDrawerLayout new Toolbar MyActivity this                        R string ns menu open  R string ns menu close               with  public CustomActionBarDrawerToggle Activity mActivity                                             DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout                super mActivity  mDrawerLayout  R string ns menu open  R string ns menu close
