Access to constructor not allowed

Hi I encountered this error when I created a custom backbone app for my application. What it does is to send to its parent constructor a target container where the fragment will be installed. The custom class is simply zero-arg constructor and supers an integer to its a parent which stores the targetContainer. But when I ran my application I get a runtime exception.

Here is my code:

Here is a custom class specific to the app I plan to build:

public class NoteActivity extends BackboneActivity 
{
    public NoteActivity()
    {
        super(R.id.fragmentContainer);
        addFragment(new NoteFragment());
    }

}

Now here is backbone app so I can add fragments at will. I want a dynamic control over the app and fragment using this class:

public class BackboneActivity extends ActionBarActivity
{
    private FragmentManager fragmentManager;
    private int targetContainer = -1;

    public BackboneActivity(int target)
    {
        super();
        targetContainer = target;
    }

    protected boolean addFragment(Fragment fragment)
    {
        if(fragment == null) return false;

        fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
            .add(targetContainer, fragment)
            .commit();

        return true;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(targetContainer);

        fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
    }
}

I am still in the learning process for Android and Java and I have a bit of programming experience so I am not quite sure what I have been missing.

The error I get is access to Constructor is not allowed. Is this technically different than other post here which describes access to class not allowed?

I admit I feel so &&(& dumb with this error.

Thanks.

Can you not do something like:

public NoteActivity()
{
    super();
    addFragment(new NoteFragment());
}

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(targetContainer);
    // you will have to put a getter/setter in BackboneActivity or change access modifiers
    this.setTargetContainer(R.id.fragmentContainer); 
    fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
}
