Android -replace running fragment

I am implementing a navigation drawer into my app, and navigation drawers recomend using fragments, and to just change the running fragment when the user selects something from the navigation drawer. When ever I try to replace the current fragment with a new fragment, my app crashes. here is the code I am using to replace the fragment.

Body newFragment = new Body();

            android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
            android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction transaction = fragmentManager
                    .beginTransaction();

            // Replace whatever is in the fragment_container view with this
            // fragment,
            // and add the transaction to the back stack
            transaction.replace(R.id.llhome, newFragment);
            transaction.addToBackStack(null);

            // Commit the transaction
            transaction.commit();

Edit: below is my logcat

Solution

  • I think you have a NPE at this line android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction transaction = fragmentManager .beginTransaction();

    Replace your android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager(); by the following one:

    android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();

    Let me know about your progress ;)
