Resource cannot be found, No identifier for missing item

Question

I looked at this question however, it did not help solve my problem:

• Resources$NotFoundException: Resource is not a Drawable

I'm using ActionBarSherlock (version 4.4) within my app for compatibility in older versions. My app runs perfect on 4.1.2 but it crashes on 2.3.3. The app runs all the way up to the point of mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList); then it crashes after that. I cannot figure out what is causing it to crash on older versions. I have a feeling that it is because it is trying to use something that doesn't exist in that version however, I cannot pinpoint what it is using. Does anyone see any code that seems wrong?

The error in the logcat: Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource is not a Drawable (color or path): TypedValue{t=0x2/d=0x10102fd a=-1}

Logcat Error

EDIT/UPDATE

I went through and commented out all the parts that involved the listview mDrawerList and the application fired right up with a working actionbar just no listview in the drawer.

Answer 1

The problem was that the compiler did not tell me that I was using items that were not part of the compatiabiliy and were not avaliable in 2.3.3

Look at the lines I had to remove:

drawer_list_item.xml

<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@android:id/text1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceListItemSmall" <-Removed
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:paddingLeft="16dp"
    android:paddingRight="16dp"
    android:textColor="#fff"
    android:background="?android:attr/activatedBackgroundIndicator" <-Removed
    android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeightSmall"/> <-Removed
