I am new to Android and trying to learn on my own. But I am having a tough time with Fragments. I am creating a simple application to learn fragments. I think it may seem silly but I really can't get this to work.
All I want to do is on the click of a button (buttonSayHi) in Fragment_One, Fragment_One should be replaced by Fragment_Two.
I am not sure when the Fragment code is called and where am I supposed to write my code to call the second fragment. I get the error: Unable to start Activity component.
However, the code works fine if I discard the listener for button and the fragment is displayed within the activity.
I have done considerable research, read the fragments tutorial on developer.android.com and also the tutorial by Lars Vogella. I think my concepts are not clear.
Any help will be appreciated.
The following is the code:
activity_main.xml
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/frameLayoutFragmentContainer"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
</FrameLayout>
fragment_one.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editTextPersonName"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPersonName" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="@+id/buttonSayHi"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Say Hi"
android:onClick="onButtonClicked"/>
</LinearLayout>
fragment_two.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textViewResult"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="I will say Hi!" />
</LinearLayout>
MainActivity.java
package com.example.fragmenttutorial;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
public class MainActivity extends Activity{
View view;
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Fragment fragmentOne = new FragmentOne();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.frameLayoutFragmentContainer, fragmentOne);
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
protected void onButtonClicked()
{
if(view.getId() == R.id.buttonSayHi){
Fragment fragmentTwo = new FragmentTwo();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.frameLayoutFragmentContainer, fragmentTwo);
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
}
}
FragmentOne.java
package com.example.fragmenttutorial;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public class FragmentOne extends Fragment{
View view;
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_one, container, false);
return view;
}
// protected void onButtonClicked()
// {
// if(view.getId() == R.id.buttonSayHi){
// Fragment fragmentTwo = new FragmentTwo();
//
// fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.frameLayoutFragmentContainer, fragmentTwo);
// fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
//
// fragmentTransaction.commit();
//
// }
//
// }
}
I have commented out the on click code in the fragment. I have also tried implementing the onClickListener in the fragment.
FragmentTwo.java
package com.example.fragmenttutorial;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public class FragmentTwo extends Fragment{
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_two, container, false);
return view;
}
}
EDIT: I have removed the line android:onClick="onButtonClicked" from my code in XML. And edited the following files but it still does not work. Can you guys provide me a working example without the android:onClick="onButtonClicked" line.
MainActivity.java
package com.example.fragmenttutorial;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
public class MainActivity extends Activity{
View view;
Fragment fragmentOne;
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
fragmentOne = new FragmentOne();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.frameLayoutFragmentContainer, fragmentOne);
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
}
FragmentOne.java
package com.example.fragmenttutorial;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Button;
public class FragmentOne extends Fragment implements OnClickListener{
View view;
Fragment fragmentTwo;
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_one, container, false);
Button buttonSayHi = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.buttonSayHi);
buttonSayHi.setOnClickListener(this);
return view;
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
fragmentTwo = new FragmentTwo();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.frameLayoutFragmentContainer, fragmentTwo);
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
}
Thank you for your valuable suggestions.

Your fragment class should implement OnClickListener
Then get view, link button and set onClickListener like in example below
And then add onClickListener method and do what you want.
This is my example of code, but I hope you understood
