MapFragment inside a fragment NullPointerException

Question

I'm trying to show a mapfragment inside another fragment with a include tag, when I execute the project I get NullPointerException, could someone tell me what am I doing wrong? Here is the code:

main drawer class:

public class DrawerPrincipal extends AppCompatActivity
        implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener,FragmentoPrincipalUsuario.OnFragmentInteractionListener {


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_drawer_principal);
        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        
        //cargar fragment principal usuario

        Fragment fragmento= null;
        fragmento = new FragmentoPrincipalUsuario();
       getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
               .replace(R.id.content_main, fragmento)
               .commit();


        DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
        ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
                this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
        drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
        toggle.syncState();

        NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
        navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);

Answer 1

Declare this as a class variable, there is no need to initialise it to null, java does this automatically:

Fragment fragmento;

Remove every line where you declare:

Fragment fragmento= null;

In your oncreate start with add not replace as there may not be anything to replace:

getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
           .add(R.id.content_main, fragmento)
           .commit();

And whatever you do, don't use this twice within oncreate (I see it is commented out)

getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
           .replace(R.id.content_main, fragmento)
           .commit();
