NPE while loading webview

Question

I'm having a NullPointerException having this code. I guess the problem is with the getView() but I don't know another way to do it.

public class Seccion1 extends Fragment {

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

    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.seccion3, container, false);

    return rootView;
}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    WebView mWebView;

    mWebView = (WebView) getView().findViewById(R.id.lectura_webView);

    //Archivo de ejemplo. Cambiar por el adecuado.
    --> THIS IS THE LINE THAT GIVES THE ERROR mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/productividad/ejemplo1.html");

    mWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    mWebView.getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false);

    mWebView.setLongClickable(true);
    mWebView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
            return true;
        }
    });

}

}

The log:

Thank you!

P.D: I'm adding this text because it says that my post is mostly code. I think the question is clear and direct and I'm providing the data needed to identify properly the problem. Thank you again!

Edit 2:

Code Updated that returns the upper log:

public class Seccion1 extends Fragment {

WebView mWebView;

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

    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.seccion3, container, false);


    mWebView = (WebView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.lectura_webView);

    //Archivo de ejemplo. Cambiar por el adecuado.
    mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/productividad/ejemplo1.html");

    mWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    mWebView.getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false);

    mWebView.setLongClickable(true);
    mWebView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
            return true;
        }
    });

    return rootView;

}

Answer 1

public class Seccion1 extends Fragment 
{
 WebView mWebView;

 @Override
 public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                     Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.seccion3, container, false);
 mWebView = (WebView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.lectura_webView);
 //Archivo de ejemplo. Cambiar por el adecuado.
  --> THIS IS THE LINE THAT GIVES THE ERROR   
 mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/productividad/ejemplo1.html");

 mWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
 mWebView.getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false);

 mWebView.setLongClickable(true);
 mWebView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
        return true;
    }
 });
 return rootView;
}
}

Answer 2

Delete this code from onResume :

 mWebView = (WebView) getView().findViewById(R.id.lectura_webView);

And add this code in onCreateView :

mWebView = (WebView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.lectura_webView);

You need to do this because mWebView is in the inflated layout (rootView).

Answer 3

declare WebView mWebView; as class variable and initialize in onCreateView as

mWebView = (WebView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.lectura_webView);

and remove below lines from onResume

WebView mWebView;

mWebView = (WebView) getView().findViewById(R.id.lectura_webView);
