I am using `Navigation Drawer` to navigate between fragments they all use the MainActivity toolbar but each fragment has it's own `TabLayout` with 3 tabs and in each tab I am using `RecyclerView` to show different text and images.

I did this last time using actvities instead of fragments but now using the drawer it's beter to use fragments. 

I have got to a point where the tabs work but as soon as I put the `ViewPager` in and connect the adapters to the tabs and I open the new fragment from the drawer I get a Null Pointer what could be the problem here? 

MainActivity.java

```
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity

    implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {

@Override

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
            this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
    drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
    toggle.syncState();

    NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
    navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
}

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
        drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    int id = item.getItemId();
    return id == R.id.action_settings || super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);

}

@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    int id = item.getItemId();
    Fragment fragment;

    if (id == R.id.fragment_one) {
        fragment = new NewFragment();
        FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        ft.replace(R.id.container, fragment);
        ft.commit();

    } else if (id == R.id.fragment_two) {

        fragment = new NewFragment();
        FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        ft.replace(R.id.container, fragment);
        ft.commit();

    } else if (id == R.id.fragment_three) {

        fragment = new NewFragment();
        FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        ft.replace(R.id.container, fragment);
        ft.commit();

    }

    DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    return true;
}
