Question

This is my first time using fragments in general so bear with me. I dont really understand what I need to do to get the list to show correctly because as of right now nothing shows when I select a tab in my program. Currently I am getting a runtime error

this is part of my xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" 
android:orientation="horizontal">
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="400dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <fragment android:name="com.tyczj.bowling.BowlersList"
    android:id="@+id/bListFrag"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="400dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

this is my ListFragment

public class BowlersList extends ListFragment {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle state){
    super.onCreate(state);

    if(getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.bListFrag)==null){
        BowlersListFragment list = new BowlersListFragment();
        getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.bListFrag, list).commit();
    }
}

public class BowlersListFragment extends Fragment {
      static public final String STATE_CHECKED="com.tyczj.bowling.STATE_CHECKED";

      @Override
      public void onActivityCreated(Bundle state){
          super.onActivityCreated(state);
          BowlersDB db = new BowlersDB(BowlersList.this);
          db.open();
          Cursor c = db.getBowlers();
          startManagingCursor(c);
          String[] names = new String[c.getCount()];
          if(c != null && c.moveToFirst()){
              int i = 0;
              do{
                  names[i] = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(BowlersDB.NAME));
                i++;
              }while(c.moveToNext());
          }
      }

      @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.bowlers, container, false);
            return v;
        }
    }

Answer 1

You cannot do Fragment inside a Fragment. Nested Fragments are not supported.
