java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #13

I'm new at learning Android. I'll be short. I'm receiving the error as mentioned at the bottom. I've added a fragment via XML. I've searched for solutions but none worked so far. Where am I going wrong?

If I can be pointed to a solution that's okay. May I get an explanation as to why this happens?

This error is basically because you have not give id to your fragment container.

Before DetailActivity.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout 
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".DetailActivity">

<fragment
    class="com.example.workout.WorkoutDetailFragment"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>

To Solve this give a unique identifier like this

After DetailActivity.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".DetailActivity">
    
<fragment
     android:id="@+id/uniqueid" //this was missing
     class="com.example.workout.WorkoutDetailFragment"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>

Please specify the unique id for your fragment and try.

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/fragId"
    class="com.example.workout.WorkoutDetailFragment"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
 />

Modify your DetailActivity.xml tag fragment as follow

  <fragment android:name="com.example.workout.WorkoutDetailFragment"
    android:id="@+id/frag"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

Implement your main activity with OnFragmentInteractionListener and change xml as per below code 

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements WorkoutDetailFragment.OnFragmentInteractionListener {

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

@Override
public void onFragmentInteraction(Uri uri) {

}}

And your XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/fragment"
    android:name="com.example.myapplication.WorkoutDetailFragment"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Share Fragment class file if you still can't execute

fix your detail_activity.xml replace class by android:name

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".DetailActivity">

    <fragment
        android:name="com.example.workout.WorkoutDetailFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
    />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
