Question

I have a problem with ICS and the Actionbar. At start, when i changed the orientation, it worked, but now when i change the orientation, i have this error :

Caused by: android.support.v4.app.Fragment$InstantiationException: Unable to instantiate fragment 
com.descartes.application.MainActivity$DummySectionFragment: 
make sure class name exists, is public, and has an empty constructor that is public

Caused by: java.lang.InstantiationException: 
can't instantiate class com.descartes.application.MainActivity$DummySectionFragment; 
no empty constructor

Here is the main code :

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener {

/**
 * The {@link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter} that will provide fragments for each of the
 * sections. We use a {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter} derivative, which will
 * keep every loaded fragment in memory. If this becomes too memory intensive, it may be best
 * to switch to a {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter}.
 */
SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;

/**
 * The {@link ViewPager} that will host the section contents.
 */
ViewPager mViewPager;
private static int SCAN = 1;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    Loc lc = new LocImpl(this);
    Localisation loc = lc.localiser();
    System.out.println(loc.toString());
    // Create the adapter that will return a fragment for each of the three primary sections
    // of the app.
    mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());

    // Set up the action bar.
    final ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
    actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

    // Set up the ViewPager with the sections adapter.
    mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
    mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);

    // When swiping between different sections, select the corresponding tab.
    // We can also use ActionBar.Tab#select() to do this if we have a reference to the
    // Tab.
    mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPageSelected(int position) {
            actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
        }
    });

    // For each of the sections in the app, add a tab to the action bar.
    for (int i = 0; i < mSectionsPagerAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
        // Create a tab with text corresponding to the page title defined by the adapter.
        // Also specify this Activity object, which implements the TabListener interface, as the
        // listener for when this tab is selected.

                        .setText(mSectionsPagerAdapter.getPageTitle(i))

            break;

        }
        TextView textView = new TextView(getActivity());
        textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
        textView.setText(Integer.toString(args.getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER)));
        return textView;

    }
}

}

I don’t understand where is the error, so i ask to you, can you help me ?

Answer 1

Change

public class DummySectionFragment extends Fragment

to

public static class DummySectionFragment extends Fragment

(or move DummySectionFragment to a separate class file).
