By clicking on package name related error in Logcat, It show me these error.

First in MainActivity1.java
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map, container, false);

Second in Topratedfragment.java
viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());

This is MainActivity1.java file

package com.example.image_changer;

import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.app.ActionBar.Tab;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.drawable.ColorDrawable;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;

public class MainActivity1 extends FragmentActivity implements
    ActionBar.TabListener {

private ViewPager viewPager;
private TabsPagerAdapter mAdapter;
private ActionBar actionBar;
// Tab titles
private String[] tabs = { "Map", "Games", "Image flipper" };

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    //this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main1);
        /*MainActivity1.this.getWindow().setFlags(
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);*/
    getActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(
            new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#ee7b35")));


    System.out.println("you are in oncreate in mainactivity1");

    // Initilization
    viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
    actionBar = getActionBar();
    mAdapter = new TabsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());

    viewPager.setAdapter(mAdapter);
    actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(false);
    actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

    // Adding Tabs
    for (String tab_name : tabs) {
        actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText(tab_name)
                .setTabListener(this));
    }

    /**
     * on swiping the viewpager make respective tab selected
     * */
    viewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {

        @Override
        public void onPageSelected(int position) {
            // on changing the page
            // make respected tab selected
            actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2) {
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0) {
        }
    });
}

@Override
public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
}

@Override
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
    // on tab selected
    // show respected fragment view
    viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
    System.out.println("you are in onTabreselected");
}

@Override
public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
    System.out.println("you are in onTabunselected");
}

}

This is my TopRatedfragment.java file

package com.example.image_changer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;


public class TopRatedFragment extends Fragment {

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map, container, false);

    return rootView;
}
}

I tried this solution-

When I change extends Fragment to FragmentActivity in Topratedfragment.java then it give me error- The method onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) of type TopRatedFragment must override or implement a supertype method. Remove override notation as quick fix.
When I remove override notation it give a error in Tabspageradapter.java class and error says - Type mismatch: cannot convert from TopRatedFragment to Fragment and change method return type to TopRatedFragment and may be this is not useful to me.

package com.example.image_changer;

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;

public class TabsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

public TabsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm){
 super(fm);
}

@Override
public Fragment getItem(int index) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    switch (index) {
    case 0:
        return new TopRatedFragment();


    case 1: 
        return new GamesFragment();

    case 2:
        return new MoviesFragment();

    }

    return null;
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return 3;
}
}

This is GameFragment.java class

package com.example.image_changer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;


public class GamesFragment extends Fragment {

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    //return super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_games,container,false );


    return rootView;
}


}

Then how to solve this problem. Thanks for your help

Answer 1

Use of this code in TopRatedfragment.java solve this problem:

private static View view;

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
if (view != null) {
    ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup) view.getParent();
    if (parent != null)
        parent.removeView(view);
}
try {
    view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map, container, false);
} catch (InflateException e) {
    /* map is already there, just return view as it is */
}
return view;
}

Answer 2

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Binary XML file line #10: Duplicate id 0x7f050010, tag null, or parent id 0x0 with another fragment for com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment

you are absolutely right about the error bieng the xml, but only because you are creating a new fragment that android is already holding on the stack.

instead of creating a new fragemtn you want to use a FragmentManager

FragmentManager fman=getFragmentManager();

fman.popBackStack();

itll be something along these lines.... for more exact code....

Fragment fragment = (Fragment) getFragmentManager().
                    .findFragmentById(R.your id here);
                if (fragment != null && fragment.isInLayout()) {

                  fman.beginTransaction().show(fragment)
                } else {
                  Fragment fragment = (Fragment) getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(your container-the file the error is coming from that holds all you fragments, fragment)
                      fman.beginTransaction().show(fragment)

                }
