FragmentTabHost - No tab known for tag null
Few days ago I implemented TabHostFramgent in a Fragment with a NavigationDrawer, and I faced with a problem that is the following error :
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No tab known for tag null
The thing is that all works perfectly since my first item list of my NavigationDrawer is my TabHostFragment, so it works perfect, but the problem is when I go in example to the second item and then I want to go back to the first item, every time that I try so it crashes.
I was searching everywhere, here in SO, code.google.com, etc... and I still don't get the proper answer.
My tab_host_test_2.xmllooks like :
<android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TabWidget
android:id="@android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/realtabcontent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost>
My activity_main.xml where I've got my NavigationDrawer looks like :
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- Framelayout to display Fragments -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/frame_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!-- Listview to display slider menu -->
<ListView
android:id="@+id/list_slidermenu"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="@color/list_divider"
android:dividerHeight="1dp"
android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector"
android:background="@color/list_background"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
My TabHostFragment.java:

EDIT
The answer of @Y.S., was kinda different about what I was asking for, but it could be a solution, but it didn't worked fine at all, and the NavigationDrawer is under the TabHostFragment, etc... I don't want to change anything of my layout.
Answer
As the error suggests
Java : illegal state exception : no tab known for tag null
you tried to initialise TabHost but TabHost was null.
Try the code that I have used to initialise the TabHost and it works fine. Keep you code in onCreateView(). This problem occurs when you try to setup your FragmentTabHost in onViewCreated(), which is called too late. Try to set it up in onCreateView(), and add at least one tab before returning the view Object.
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Create FragmentTabHost
mTabHost = new FragmentTabHost(getActivity());
// Locate fragment1.xml to create FragmentTabHost
mTabHost.setup(getActivity(), getChildFragmentManager(), R.layout.fragment1);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("groups").setIndicator("",getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tab_group_icon)),FragmentTab1.class, null);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("contacts").setIndicator("",getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tab_user_icon)),FragmentTab2.class, null);
MainActivity.fabButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
return mTabHost;
}
change Layout to:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost
android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0" />
</android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost>
</LinearLayout>
Hope it helps.
