This is my MainActivty.java

public class SlidingMenuAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

    private Context context;
    private ArrayList<SlidingMenuItem> items;

    public SlidingMenuAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<SlidingMenuItem> items) {
        this.context = context;
        this.items = items;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return items.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int index) {
        return items.get(index);
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int index) {
        return index;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int index, View view, ViewGroup arg2) {
        if (view == null) {
            LayoutInflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater)
                    context.getSystemService(Activity.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.iv_item_sliding_menu, null);
        }

        ImageView imgIcon = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.img_sliding_menu_item);
        TextView txtTitle = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tv_sliding_menu_item);

        SlidingMenuItem item = items.get(index);

        imgIcon.setImageResource(item.getIcon());
        txtTitle.setText(item.getTitle());

        return view;
    }

}

This is my adapter.java file

public class SlidingMenuItem {
    String title;
    int icon;

    public SlidingMenuItem(String title, int icon) {
        this.title = title;
        this.icon = icon;
    }

    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }

    public void setTitle(String title) {
        this.title = title;
    }

    public int getIcon() {
        return icon;
    }

    public void setIcon(int icon) {
        this.icon = icon;
    }

}

And this is my menu item

<resources>
    <string name="app_name" translatable="false">Fb slid</string>

    <string name="hello_world" translatable="false">Hello world!</string>
    <string name="action_settings" translatable="false">Settings</string>
    <string name="title_activity_main" translatable="false">MainActivity
    </string>


        <!-- Sliding Menu items -->
 <string-array name="nav_drawer_items">
    <item >Home</item>
    <item >Notifications</item>
    <item >Settings</item>
    <item >About</item>
</string-array>

        <!-- Sliding Menu item icons -->
        <array name="nav_drawer_icons">
            <item>@drawable/home</item>
            <item>@drawable/notifications</item>
            <item>@drawable/settings</item>
            <item>@drawable/about</item>
        </array>

    </resources>

And this s my string.xml file

You Haven't defined nav_drawer_items in Your String File.. — V-rund Puro-hit
– V-rund Puro-hit, Commented Oct 3, 2015 at 5:50
before i have defined but it throws duplicate resource value — M.YOGE
– M.YOGE, Commented Oct 3, 2015 at 5:52
give different name and try again.. its because you have used that name somewhere else. — V-rund Puro-hit

I think is the

<!-- Sliding Menu items -->

that its empty, and then when you try to read the menu item array it fails

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

I would define as an array the items name, and then , define the icons for the items on the code Array of strings: stackoverflow.com/questions/5013632/… Array of drawables: stackoverflow.com/questions/3355220/…

Armando SM Over a year ago

I think the problem is trying to define an array of drawables on a strings resource. Define there just the array of item names, and define on the java class which drawable corresponds to each item
