Android - Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.support.v4.app.Fragment.setMenuVisibility(boolean)' on a null object reference
Here is the full stack trace of the error: http://pastebin.com/5dQHkUw3
The error started to appear only after I started using fragments in the project, because I want to give JSON feeds. It was fine before when I was creating Tabs, NavigationDrawer etc.
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements MaterialTabListener{
private Toolbar mToolbar;
private NavigationDrawerFragment mDrawerFragment;
private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
private MaterialTabHost mTabHost;
private ViewPager mViewPager;
public static final int SERVICES_ALL = 1;
public static final int SERVICES_FEATURED = 2;
public static final int SERVICES_NEW = 3;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_appbar);
mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.app_bar);
setSupportActionBar(mToolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerFragment = (NavigationDrawerFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragment_navigation_drawer);
mDrawerFragment.setUp(R.id.fragment_navigation_drawer, mDrawerLayout, mToolbar);
mTabHost = (MaterialTabHost) findViewById(R.id.materialTabHost);
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewPager);
MyPagerAdapter adapter = new MyPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
mViewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener(){
@Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
mTabHost.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
});
for(int i=0; i<adapter.getCount(); i++ ){
mTabHost.addTab(
mTabHost.newTab().
setText(adapter.getPageTitle(i)).
setTabListener(this)
);
}
}
@Override
public void onTabSelected(MaterialTab materialTab) {
mViewPager.setCurrentItem(materialTab.getPosition());
}
@Override
public void onTabReselected(MaterialTab materialTab) {
}
@Override
public void onTabUnselected(MaterialTab materialTab) {
}
private class MyPagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter{
FragmentManager fragmentManager;
public MyPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
fragmentManager = fm;
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int num) {
Fragment fragment = null;
switch (num){
case SERVICES_ALL:
fragment = FragmentAll.newInstance("","");
break;
case SERVICES_FEATURED:
fragment = FragmentFeatured.newInstance("","");
break;
case SERVICES_NEW:
fragment = FragmentNew.newInstance("","");
break;
}
return fragment;
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return 3;
}
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position){
return getResources().getStringArray(R.array.tabs)[position];
}
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Hey you just hit " + item.getTitle(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return true;
}
if (id == R.id.action_next) {
startActivity(new Intent(this, DetailActivity.class));
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
FragmentAll.java (The other 2 fragments are similar to FragmentAll.)
public class FragmentAll extends Fragment {
private static final String ARG_PARAM1 = "param1";
private static final String ARG_PARAM2 = "param2";
private String mParam1;
private String mParam2;
public static FragmentAll newInstance(String param1, String param2) {
FragmentAll fragment = new FragmentAll();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putString(ARG_PARAM1, param1);
args.putString(ARG_PARAM2, param2);
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
public FragmentAll() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (getArguments() != null) {
mParam1 = getArguments().getString(ARG_PARAM1);
mParam2 = getArguments().getString(ARG_PARAM2);
}
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_all, container, false);
}
}

Answer
public static final int SERVICES_ALL = 1;
public static final int SERVICES_FEATURED = 2;
public static final int SERVICES_NEW = 3;
should be
public static final int SERVICES_ALL = 0;
public static final int SERVICES_FEATURED = 1;
public static final int SERVICES_NEW = 2;
getItem is 0-based-index, which means that in your code, the case 0 of your Adapter never matches one, and in that case you are returning a null fragment causing the exception
