Question

I’ve used the basic layout created from the Eclipse “Master/Detail” layout. I’ve modified it out and added external pages. However, when I now try to load just ContactListActivity.java, it fails to load giving me the logcat error below. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?

ContactListActivity.java

/**
 * An activity representing a list of Contacts. This activity
 * has different presentations for handset and tablet-size devices. On
 * handsets, the activity presents a list of items, which when touched,
 * lead to a {@link ContactChatActivity} representing
 * item details. On tablets, the activity presents the list of items and
 * item details side-by-side using two vertical panes.
 * <p>
 * The activity makes heavy use of fragments. The list of items is a
 * {@link ContactListFragment} and the item details
 * (if present) is a {@link ContactChatFragment}.
 * <p>
 * This activity also implements the required
 * {@link ContactListFragment.Callbacks} interface
 * to listen for item selections.

Answer 1

You have declared the Fragment in your XML file for the class:

 com.cyphrd.chirp.ContactListFragment

but it looks like it is in the package:

 package com.cyphrd.chirpd
