ViewPager Andorid:NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method

Question

I've got my Fragment where I have added two sliders in the xml file:

public class FilterSlider extends Fragment implements FragmentLifecycle {

    private static final String TAG = FilterSlider.class.getSimpleName();
    RelativeLayout relativeLayout;

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

        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.filter_slider, container, false);
        return view;
    }

and the xml file looks:

<?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">

    <SeekBar
        android:id="@+id/seekBarMin"
        android:layout_width="250dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:max="100"/>

    <SeekBar
        android:id="@+id/seekBarMax"
        android:layout_width="250dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
        android:max="100"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Now when I am trying to access any sliderbar from the main activity with the following codes:

Here is my main activity class:

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    pageAdapter = new MyPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
    final ViewPager pager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.myViewPager);
    pager.setAdapter(pageAdapter);

   seekbarMin = (SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.seekBarMin);
  seekbarMax = (SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.seekBarMax);
 sliderMaxTemp = seekbarMax.getProgress();

adn here is the MyPageAdapter class:

private List<Fragment> fragments;

    public MyPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
        this.fragments = new ArrayList<Fragment>();
        fragments.add(new FilterCheckBox());
        fragments.add(new FilterRadioButton());
        fragments.add(new FilterSlider());
    }

it shows following error:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int android.widget.SeekBar.getProgress()' on a null object reference.

I would highly appreciate any suggestions to solve the error.

I've tested on real device (API10) and it works. (Rewritten many parts.. Use diff with your source to check them.)

Need more information to find out the problem..
