Please help me where am wrong

Answer 1

You first create a new activity but not empty activity and choose tabed activity ,then do as I did..

step 1 : create three fragment activity first delete everything from each fragment activity and write this code to each activity

package com.yourpakagename.tabedactivity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;


public class layout1 extends Fragment {
public layout1() {
// Required empty public constructor
}


@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                     Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_layout12, container, false);
//changes in each activity-->R.layout.fragment_layout_name<----
}
}

step 2 : and finally in your tabbed activity we dont need this two functions

  public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {

private static final String ARG_SECTION_NUMBER = "section_number";

public PlaceholderFragment() {
}


public static PlaceholderFragment newInstance(int sectionNumber) {
    PlaceholderFragment fragment = new PlaceholderFragment();
    Bundle args = new Bundle();
    args.putInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER, sectionNumber);
    fragment.setArguments(args);
    return fragment;
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
    TextView textView = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.section_label);
    textView.setText(getString(R.string.section_format, getArguments().getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER)));
    return rootView;
}
}

step 3: and finally change your sectionpageradapter function with this code thats it -->

public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
    super(fm);
}

@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
    // getItem is called to instantiate the fragment for the given page.
    // Return a PlaceholderFragment (defined as a static inner class below).
    //delete  return PlaceholderFragment.newInstance(position + 1);
    switch (position)
    {
        case 0:
            return new layout1();
        case 1:
            return new layout2();
        case 2:
            return new layout3();
        default:
            return  new layout1();
    }
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    // Show 3 total pages.
    return 3;
}

@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
    switch (position) {
        case 0:
            return "SECTION 1";
        case 1:
            return "SECTION 2";
        case 2:
            return "SECTION 3";
    }
    return null;
 }
 }

Answer 2

All support libs must have the same version. 23.2.1 or 23.1.1 or whatever but you can't mix versions.

ext.supportLibVersion = "23.2.1"
// design includes recyclerview-v7 and appcompat-v7, which includes support-v4
compile "com.android.support:design:$supportLibVersion"
compile "com.android.support:cardview-v7:$supportLibVersion"

Answer 3

changing dependencies did the trick , just added com.android.support:support-v4:23.2.0 and updated build tools version to 23.0.2

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.2.0'

I dont know why some people marked my question as negative, anyways this might help someone
