Want to do
I want to get android:id = "@+id/drawer_layout2" at activity which is not linked with SetContentView because I want to open navigation? DrawerLayout? with a button. I already know that drawer.OpenDrawer(GravityCompat.Start) open it but drawer is null.
Relation
MainActivity.cs – activity_main.xml
NaviDrawer.cs – drawer.xml
Error Message
System.NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'
Code
MainActivity
public class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity, NavigationView.IOnNavigationItemSelectedListener, TabLayout.IOnTabSelectedListener
{
private Context context;
DrawerLayout m_drawer;
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.Init(this, savedInstanceState);
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.activity_main);
context = this;
m_drawer = FindViewById<DrawerLayout>(Resource.Id.drawer_layout2);
btn_drawer = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.btn_drawer);
btn_drawer.Click += Btn_Drawer_Click;
}
private void Btn_Drawer_Click(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
m_drawer.OpenDrawer(GravityCompat.Start);
}
Drawer.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout

Linked file
ActivityMain.cs - activity_main.xml
FragmentEvent.cs - fragment_event.xml
(At this time, I access to drawerlayout's ID in activity_main from FragmentEvent)

I change m_drawer from private to public
ActivityMain.cs
You may directly get the current drawer inside a view/fragment so that you won’t get a NullPointerException,such like this:
And then in your Button click event you may try to set like this:
These are just my suggestions and I hope they will help you. If there are follow-up questions, I may follow up.
