Android - How to inflate xml in onCreate( )

I am just staring off with Android app development and have a question on inflating layout in onCreate() of MainActivity. May be I am not asking the right question. But basically I have 2 Tabs. I have a calculate button on the first tab that once clicked should populate a table on the 2nd tab

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        new MyTableFragment();

        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Details"));
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Discount"));
        tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);

        final ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
        final PagerAdapter adapter = new PagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), tabLayout.getTabCount());
        viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
        viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tabLayout));

        this.init();
    }
    public void onButtonClick(View view) {

        EditText text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.amount);
        _amount = Integer.parseInt(text.getText().toString());

        text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.rate);
        _rate = Integer.parseInt(text.getText().toString()) * 12;

        EditText discount = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.discount);
        discount.setText(Double.toString(_discount));

        this.init();
    }

    public void init(){
        TableLayout tableLayout = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.table_main);
        if(tableLayout == null)
            System.out.println("Table Layout is NULL");
        else
            System.out.println("Layout is not null");

        TableRow tbrow0 = new TableRow(this);
        TextView tv0 = new TextView(this);
        tv0.setText("Date");
        tv0.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
        tbrow0.addView(tv0);
        TextView tv1 = new TextView(this);
        tv1.setText(" Amount ");
        tv1.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
        tbrow0.addView(tv1);
        TextView tv2 = new TextView(this);
        tv2.setText(" Discount ");
        tv2.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
        tbrow0.addView(tv2);

        for (int i = 0; i < _loanTerm; ++i) {
            TableRow tbrow = new TableRow(this);
            TextView t1v = new TextView(this);
            t1v.setText("" + i);
            t1v.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
            t1v.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
            tbrow.addView(t1v);
            TextView t2v = new TextView(this);
            t2v.setText("Product " + i);
            t2v.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
            t2v.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
            tbrow.addView(t2v);
            tableLayout.addView(tbrow);
        }
    }
}

public class MyTableFragment extends Fragment {
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_table, container, false);
    }
}

public class PagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
    private int _numOfTabs;

    public PagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm, int NumOfTabs) {
        super(fm);
        this._numOfTabs = NumOfTabs;
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {

        switch (position) {
            case 0:
                TabFragment1 tab1 = new TabFragment1();
                return tab1;
            case 1:
                TabFragment2 tab2 = new TabFragment2();
                return tab2;
            default:
                return null;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return _numOfTabs;
    }

                </TableLayout>
            </RelativeLayout>
        </HorizontalScrollView>
    </ScrollView>

</LinearLayout>

In my init() when I try to access

TableLayout tableLayout = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.table_main);

it returns null

What am I missing?

Thanks

If you want to inflate a fragment you should first have a framelayout inside activity main, then replace the framelayout for the fragment choosed.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    //change content_frame for the id fiven to the frame layout inside activity_main
    getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.content_frame, new MyTableFragment()).commit();

    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Loan Details"));
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Amortization"));
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab 3"));
    tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);

    final ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
    final PagerAdapter adapter = new PagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), tabLayout.getTabCount());
    viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
    viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tabLayout));

    this.init();
}

}

public class MyTableFragment extends Fragment { @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { return inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_table, container, false); } }

public class MyTableFragment extends Fragment {
 View view;
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    view =  inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_table, container, false);
    //in here you find the table using the view
    TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout)view.findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);

    return view;
}

}

You have to consume your fragment in your activity first

Do as follows:

First define container in your main activity layout for hosting your fragment and assign it with id, suppose this id is "fragment_container", So after the line:

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

Add the following line:

getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.fragment_container, new MyTableFragment()).commit();
