Load fragment inside DrawerLayout

I have created a DrawerLayout with first child as a FrameLayout and the second child as a ListView which will be the drawer.

Now in the activity, I have used the support fragment manager to load a fragment in the FrameLayout in the DrawerLayout.

The error code is 

IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. Use removeView() on the child

What can I do now?

First of all, consider to support source code because without it it's a matter of guessing.

As the crash log states - you are trying to add a view that already has a parent view to another parent view, you can't do that, a view may have just a single ViewGroup parent view.

I'm guessing that in the instantiation of the fragment, when you creates a FragmentTransaction you're adding an id of a container view and after that trying to add the fragment to the FrameLayout.

The id you adding to FragmentTransaction must be the one of the FrameLayout.

For example:

FragmentTransaction trans = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
trans.add(R.id.tabcontent, fragment);
trans.commitAllowingStateLoss();

the R.id.tabcontent should be the id of the intended fragment's container

How have you inflated your first fragment. It is usually caused by inflating wrong constructor so be sure to inflate the correct constructor.

View view= inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_first, container, false);
return view;
