Adding a linear layout to Navigation drawer (ends up crashing with a ClassCastException)

android, navigation-drawer

Solution

I got the solution using your answers, thanks :). Actually the issue was with the list view. I was getting the linear layout on the left drawer, however it wasnt displayed properly as I added a scroll View to my linear layout and I also had a list in the same view which displayed only the first item in the list leaving the entire screen space blank. I checked few links to get the answer but it didn't work. At the end, since the list data is known to me and it will not change dynamically I added RadioButtons, customized them and replaced the list.

My code looks like below now.

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/app_background" >

<!-- The main context view -->

<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/fragment_holder"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

<!-- The navigation drawer -->

<ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/leftDrawer"
    android:layout_width="240dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    android:background="#fff" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
            android:paddingBottom="3dp"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"

        <View

I know this might not be the best possibility but at least its working for me. If any one has a better solution, then please let me know.
