Application Is Stopped In Android Emulator

I'm completely new to java, so i have started making an app to find the TOTAL by presing add and subtract buttons. I have defined buttons and the text view in FRAGMENT_MAIN.XML, an

Solution 1:

The problem is that you are mixing up Fragments and Activities, and as such, handling events in the Activity, even though these Views are displayed in the Fragment. Basically you are meant to have a FrameLayout in the Activity, and that's it - the logic is handled in the Fragment.

An example is the following:

public class ContainerActivity extends ActionBarActivity
{
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle saveInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(saveInstanceState);
        this.setContentView(R.layout.activity_container);
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
        if (saveInstanceState == null)
        {               
             getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                .add(R.id.activity_container_container, new ExampleFragment())
                .addToBackStack(null)
             .commit();
        }
        getSupportFragmentManager().addOnBackStackChangedListener(new OnBackStackChangedListener()
        {
            public void onBackStackChanged()
            {
                int backCount = getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount();
                if (backCount == 0)
                {
                    finish();
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

activity_container.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/activity_container_container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</RelativeLayout>

ExampleFragment:

public class ExampleFragment extends Fragment implements View.OnClickListener
{
    private Button btnOne;
    private Button btnTwo;
    private Button btnThree;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_example, container, false);

        btnOne = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.example_button_one);
        btnTwo = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.example_button_two);
        btnThree = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.example_button_three);

        btnOne.setOnClickListener(this);
        btnTwo.setOnClickListener(this);
        btnThree.setOnClickListener(this);
        return rootView;
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v)
    {
        if (btnOne == v)
        {
            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "One.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
        else if (btnTwo == v)
        {
            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Two.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
        else if (btnThree == v)
        {
            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Three.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }
}

        <activity

And that should be a valid example, it shows how you can use an Activity to display a Fragment, and handle events in that Fragment. It currently doesn't show how the Fragment communicates with the Activity to change to another Fragment, which is by the way done by an interface, which you would make a variable to and store in the onAttach() callback method.

But I did include that as well in the "mildly refined" edition on NullPointerException accessing views in onCreate()
