Hello,
I'm currently getting into the fragment API of the Android 3.0 Preview and have built the following minimal coding:
I have an Activty, which shall embed Fragment(s), which is currently implemented like this:
public class Cockpit extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.cockpit);
}
public static class InfoFragment extends Fragment {
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
ViewGroup infoFragmentRoot = (ViewGroup) getActivity().findViewById(
R.id.infoFragmentRoot) ;
return inflater.inflate(R.id.infoFragment, container, false);
}
}
}
The corresponding layout of the activity:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<fragment android:name="test.android.ui.cockpit.Cockpit$InfoFragment"
android:id="@+id/infoFragment"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="10dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" android:padding="12dp" android:id="@+id/infoFragmentRoot" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</fragment>
Now, I do not understand why the ViewGroup container in the onCreateView() in the internal class InfoFragment is a nullpointer, nor do I understand,
why
ViewGroup infoFragmentRoot = (ViewGroup) getActivity().findViewById(
R.id.infoFragmentRoot) ;
returns also null.
Thanks for feedback.
