null pointer on getListView()

Why am I getting a null pointer on lv = getListView();?

public class bListFragment extends ListFragment {
static public final String STATE_CHECKED="com.tyczj.bowling.STATE_CHECKED";
OnLongListClickListener mListener;
ListView lv;
String name;
long id;

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

    lv = getListView(); //NullPointerException
    lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);

    getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);
    getListView().setTextFilterEnabled(true);

    getListView().setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
                int arg2, long arg3) {

            Vibrator v = (Vibrator)getActivity().getSystemService(getActivity().VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
            v.vibrate(new long [] {0,20,0,0}, -1);
            TextView tv = (TextView)arg1.findViewById(R.id.bListTextView);
            name = tv.getText().toString();
            try{
                id = Integer.parseInt(getRow(name));
                mListener.OnLongListClick(id);
            }catch(CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException e){
                populateList();
            }
            return false;
        }

    });

}

logcat error

If you are using a ListFragment, you may want to change your onCreate to:

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

and then

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

    lv = getListView(); // here it is available
}

Check out the documentation for ListActivity.

First of you need a layout file (xml file) which contains a ListView with the id: android:id="@android:id/list".

Second you have forgotten to set the content view of your Activity:

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.setContent(R.layout.yourLayoutWithListView);

Did you put your com.tyczj.bowling/com.tyczj.bowling.Tabs activity in the manifest file??

May be it's not correct but did you miss setContent?

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
??? you must set content XML 
lv = getListView(); //NullPointerException

It's like a use TabActivity - you can call getTabHost but only after setting content XML layout definition. try

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
**this.setContent(R.layout.mylistviewlayout);**
lv = getListView(); //NullPointerException
