Android Studio - Unable to choose declaration

I am trying to create an app with a navigation drawer and four fragments. So as I select the option from navigation drawer the view of the fragment gets displayed. Now, I have certain buttons created for the view, but whenever i am trying to initialize them in the code, i am getting runtime error which is pasted below.

When I did Command + Click on those ids R.id.bIndexOutOfBounds button, it showed me multiple declaration. I am unable to get how to choose a specific declaration, and why is android studio looking for 4 different fragment_crash.xml file ( layout file for the fragment) when only 1 file is present.

Please help me if anyone knows how to get only 1 layout_crash.xml file.

You should use "view" instead of "getView()" in bIndexOutOfBounds = (Button) getView().findViewById(R.id.bIndexOutOfBounds);

getView() will return the root view of a fragment which is returned by onCreateView() so you cannot get view by getView() inside of onCreateView()
