I found a code to implement tab with fragment. I tried to put listview in the fragment, but the application is crashing with the following error. Could you please take a look on the code and guide me. Thank you.

TABFRAGMENT class – this is where i tried to put listview:
import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.ListFragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class Tab1Fragment extends ListFragment {
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
ListView lv = (ListView)getView().findViewById(R.id.listView1);
String android_array1[] = new String[50];
for(int i=0;i<50;i++)
{
android_array1[i]="ab"+i;
}
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity().getBaseContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android_array1);
lv.setAdapter(adapter);
return (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_frag1_layout, container, false);
}
}
This is the xml for the tabfragment class:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#FF0000"
>
<ListView
android:id="@+id/listView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" >
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
NOTE:
If you extends ListFragment in Your Tab1Fragment
then no need to use
ListView lv = (ListView) root.findViewById(R.id.listView1);just Remove it.
Finally Your
onCreateView(..)Method Look Like this:For More information Refer this Link
