edit i split content of drawer separate xml file , tried add together content using <include> tag. when click on "hamburger" (open drawer) icon app crashes java.lang.illegalargumentexception: no drawer view found gravity left error. wrong layout?

the activity utilizes drawerlayout , includes new stand lone layout (drawer content):

<android.support.v4.widget.drawerlayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:id="@+id/drawer_layout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <!-- first kid in layout main activity ui--> <include layout="@layout/drawer_layout_and_content"/> <relativelayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingleft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingright="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingtop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingbottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".mainactivity" android:background="#ffffffff"> <listview android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/listviewchat" android:layout_centerhorizontal="true" android:choicemode="multiplechoice" /> </relativelayout> </android.support.v4.widget.drawerlayout>

here's custom layout used drawer in main activity: (drawer_layout_and_content.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <relativelayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="250dp" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@drawable/splash_background_blur" android:id="@+id/drawercontainer"> <view android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="#73000000" android:id="@+id/view1" android:layout_alignparenttop="true" android:layout_alignparentleft="true" android:layout_alignparentstart="true" android:focusableintouchmode="true"/> <button android:layout_width="220dp" android:layout_height="35dp" android:text="@string/buttonselectphoto" android:id="@+id/buttontakephoto" android:background="@drawable/splash_button" android:textcolor="#fff" android:layout_margintop="200dp" android:layout_marginleft="25dp" android:layout_marginstart="25dp"/> </relativelayout>

you can utilize include key word that. first, create layout file called drawer_content.xml, <include layout="@layout/drawer_content">. code drawer_content.xml layout file of activity or fragment. , if want know more details, check here.
