I uploaded my first jetpack compose app and I’m getting a lot of crashes that I can’t reproduce on my devices.

```Caused by java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.view.View android.view.ViewGroup.getChildAt(int)' on a null object reference
at androidx.activity.compose.ComponentActivityKt.setContent (ComponentActivityKt.java:264)
  at com.censored.censored.presentation.MainActivity.onCreate (MainActivity.java:264)```
Full crash in thread -&gt;

MainActivity line 264 points to a DrawerItem: (first line is 264)
```DrawerItem(
    imageDrawable = R.drawable.gold,
    title = "Text"
) {
    uriHandler.openUri("<https://google.com>")

}```
Someone has an idea how I can fix it?

Could it be that the image is called “gold” which is also a color?
I renamed it to something else now

Can you file a bug for this (then post the link here)? I can see why it’s crashing, but not sure in what situations the content view would be null. Gonna do a bit more research
