java.lang.IllegalStateException: No activity
I'm building an Android app for which I'd like my first activity to be composed of 2 tabs, one for the user's profile, and one for the friends' activity. For these tabs, I opted for a TabHost since my Sherlock Action Bar is already using list navigation to move to other activities so I can't use tab navigation from the action bar.
The app worked for a while, but now only one of my tabs works, as soon as I try to move to the second tab, I'm getting a java.lang.IllegalStateException: No activity
I added the Logcat output for this error, although I'm not sure it helps since there is no trace back to my code.
I tried replacing the TabHost with a FragmentTabHost, but the error persists...
Can anyone kindly point me to the origin/meaning of this error ? Thanks in advance !

Answer
Finally found out what this was about: the "no activity" crash was due to the fact that I was using a wrong FragmentManager to nest Fragments.
For nested fragments, the only valid FragmentManager is the one obtained in the containing Fragment, by calling getChildFragmentManager().
