Hi i'm creating an android app that uses a TabActivity and has 5 tabs each tab has a FragmentActivity class when a tab is clicked the FragmentActivity loads a fragment and i can be able to replace the fragment with another I've used this approach since i'm creating an app that should be similar to an iphone app. I have two layout folders layout for the normal phone and layout-large for tablets. This app works okay except when it comes to the tablet layout where i get an error inflating class fragment on the onCreateView when inflating the layout. the layout-large xml files have a two pane layout
here's the code for the FragmentActivity
public class ManageTab3 extends FragmentActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.fragmentstackctivity);
// add initial fragment, do not add to back stack, no transition animation
addFragment(new MoreFragment(), false, FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_NONE);
}
void addFragment(Fragment fragment, boolean addToBackStack, int transition) {
FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.simple_fragment, fragment);
ft.setTransition(transition);
if (addToBackStack)
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();
}
}
and here is the fragment being added
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle
savedInstanceState) {
View fragmentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.more, container, false);
Button button1 = (Button) fragmentView.findViewById(R.id.button_abbreviations);
button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){ public void onClick(View v){
addAbbrevs();
}}
);
Button button2 = (Button) fragmentView.findViewById(R.id.button_info);
button2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){ public void onClick(View v){
addInfo();
}}
);
Button button3 = (Button) fragmentView.findViewById(R.id.button_help);
button3.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){ public void onClick(View v){
addHelp();
}}
);
Button button4 = (Button) fragmentView.findViewById(R.id.button_about);
button4.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){ public void onClick(View v){
addAbout();
}}
);
return fragmentView;
}
here is the xml file for layout more.xml
