I'm getting this error while trying to launch a Fragment from a first Fragment :
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.app.FragmentTransaction android.app.FragmentManager.beginTransaction()' on a null object reference
Here's the method where I'm getting the error :
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Fragment fragment = new PropertyFragment();
if (fragment != null) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = fragment.getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
// Replace whatever is in the fragment_container view with this fragment,
// and add the transaction to the back stack so the user can navigate back
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.rent_viewer, fragment);
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
// Commit the transaction
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
}
Precisely, the following code instruction is causing the error :
fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
Here's how the class and the nested class look like :
public class RentFragment extends Fragment {
...
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
private OnRentFragmentInteractionListener mListener;
public RentFragment() {
}
@Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
super.onAttach(activity);
try {
mListener = (OnRentFragmentInteractionListener) activity;
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString()
+ " must implement OnRentFragmentInteractionListener");
}
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_rent, container, false);
myOnClickListener = new RentOnClickListener(getActivity());
return rootView;
}
@Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
public void onDetach() {
super.onDetach();
mListener = null;
}
public interface OnRentFragmentInteractionListener {
public void onRentFragmentInteraction(Uri uri);
}
private static class RentOnClickListener implements View.OnClickListener {
private final Context context;
private RentOnClickListener(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Fragment fragment = new PropertyFragment();
if (fragment != null) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = fragment.getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
// Replace whatever is in the fragment_container view with this fragment,
// and add the transaction to the back stack so the user can navigate back
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.rent_viewer, fragment);
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
// Commit the transaction
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
}
}
}
FragmentManager
will be null until it is attached to the activity.So use below code ,
If it is a nested Fragment use this.getChildFragmentManager()
for your fragment class else use getActivity().getFragmentManager()
or getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager()
.
