Error Inflating Activity from Fragment: InflateException
I have a fragment, and I want to click on a button in the fragment to open a corresponding Activity that also hosts a fragment.
I am trying to test how the Activity appears (after button click) and am receiving what appears to be an inflation error. Here is the first fragment containing the button to view the next fragment:
HomePollsFragment.Java
mLatestTestButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent latestActivity = new Intent(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), LatestActivity.class);
startActivity(latestActivity);
}
});
And then here is the code for the activity that is opened on button click:
public class LatestActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements LatestFragment.OnFragmentInteractionListener {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_latest);
// Check that the activity is using the layout version with
// the fragment_container FrameLayout
if (findViewById(R.id.latest_fragment_container) != null) {
// However, if we're being restored from a previous state,
// then we don't need to do anything and should return or else
// we could end up with overlapping fragments.
if (savedInstanceState != null) {
return;
}
// Create a new Fragment to be placed in the activity layout
LatestFragment latestFragment = new LatestFragment();
// In case this activity was started with special instructions from an
// Intent, pass the Intent's extras to the fragment as arguments
latestFragment.setArguments(getIntent().getExtras());
// Add the fragment to the 'fragment_container' FrameLayout
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.latest_fragment_container, latestFragment).commit();
}
}
@Override
public void onFragmentInteraction(Uri uri) {
}
}
The error I am receiving is below and appears to be related to the following line:
setContentView(R.layout.activity_latest);

That because you have a wrong on your activity_latest.xml. You tried to add your LatestFragment to Fragment. You can add fragment into ViewGroup like FrameLayout. Change your code like here.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/latest_fragment_container"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp" />

The error is telling you that you have no name attribute on the <fragment> element specifying its class.
NullPointerException: name == null
However, it looks like you mean to load the Fragment yourself, so you don't want a <fragment> element. Instead, you want a ViewGroup that will hold the Fragment after the dynamic FragmentTransaction. Change your <fragment> to a <FrameLayout>.
