ListFragment and Fragment

Question

I have three tabs in my app. First and third are just fragments and second is a listfragment. But I'm getting the below error when referencing listfragment in main class.

Error: Type mismatch: cannot convert from ItemFragment to Fragment

Code: mainactivity.java

import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.app.ActionBar.Tab;
import android.app.ActionBar.TabListener;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.app.ListFragment;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements TabListener {

ViewPager viewpager;
ActionBar actionbar;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle arg0) {
    super.onCreate(arg0);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    actionbar=getActionBar();
    actionbar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
    viewpager=(ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
    viewpager.setAdapter(new MyAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager()));
    viewpager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {

        @Override
        public void onPageSelected(int arg0) {
            actionbar.setSelectedNavigationItem(arg0);

        }

        @Override
        public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }

        @Override
        public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }
    });
    ActionBar.Tab tab1=actionbar.newTab();
    tab1.setText("Home");
    tab1.setTabListener(this);

    ActionBar.Tab tab2=actionbar.newTab();
    tab2.setText("Tracker");
    tab2.setTabListener(this);

    ActionBar.Tab tab3=actionbar.newTab();
    tab3.setText("Progress");
    tab3.setTabListener(this);

    actionbar.addTab(tab1);
    actionbar.addTab(tab2);
    actionbar.addTab(tab3);
}
@Override
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {

    viewpager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
}
@Override
public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {


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


}

}

class MyAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter{



public MyAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
    super(fm);
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

@Override
public Fragment getItem(int arg0) {
    Fragment fragment=null;
    if(arg0==0){
        fragment=new Fragment_Home();
    }
    if(arg0==1){
        fragment=new ItemFragment();
    }
    if(arg0==2){
        fragment=new Fragment_Progress();
    }
    return fragment;

}

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

}

Code: TestFragment.java

    }
}

@Override
public void onDetach() {
    super.onDetach();
    mListener = null;
}

@Override
public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);

    if (null != mListener) {

        // fragment is attached to one) that an item has been selected.
        mListener
                .onFragmentInteraction(DummyContent.ITEMS.get(position).id);
    }
}

public interface OnFragmentInteractionListener {
    // TODO: Update argument type and name
    public void onFragmentInteraction(String id);
}

}

EDIT: Put it as instance....getting the same error.

if(arg0==1){
        String param1;
        String param2;
        fragment=ItemFragment.newInstance(param1, param2);
    }

Answer 1

ItemFragment must be an instance of Fragment
