Problems Inflating Fragment on Android

Question

I'm trying to load a fragment in my Main Activity which will become one of my navigation tabs later. the problem is that the app crashes and says that the fragment cannot be inflated. I found other similar questions but none of the solutions could help me

Here's my code

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }    
}

activity_main.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.projecttabs.MainActivity">

    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/fragment1"
        android:name="com.example.projecttabs.FragmentAbout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_height="0dp" />

</LinearLayout>

FrgagmentAbout.java

public class FragmentAbout extends Fragment {

    public View OnCreateView(LayoutInflater l, ViewGroup v, Bundle savedInstanceState){

        return l.inflate(R.layout.fragment_about,v,false);
    }

}

fragment_about.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"
    android:background="#000">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="182dp"
        android:text="ButtonTest" />

</RelativeLayout>

For what I understand, MainActivity class sets the contentView to main_activity layout, then, in main_activity.xml file, FragmentAbout class is called to replace the fragment by fragment_about layout. am I right?

please, help me!

thanks!

Answer 1

It should be onCreateView() with a lowercase 'o' in FragmentAbout

In the future, try using the java annotation @Override to avoid this stupid bugs
