Error inflating ListFragment class


My app is crashing as soon as it starts. Im getting the following error:

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #34: Error inflating class

I've looked at several other similar questions but none of the solutions work for me. Why is this happening? Line #34 in the error refers to the

<fragment>..</fragment> 

in mainActivity.xml

MainActivity.java

import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.ListFragment;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;




public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{

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




}

public void FragmentOneClick(View v)
{
    ListFragment myFragment=new fragmentOne();
    FragmentManager fm= getSupportFragmentManager();//getFragmentManager();

    FragmentTransaction ft=fm.beginTransaction();
    ft.replace(R.id.fragment_switch,   myFragment );
    ft.commit();

}

public void FragmentTwoClick(View v)
{
    Fragment myFragment=new fragmentTwo();
    FragmentManager fm= getSupportFragmentManager();

    FragmentTransaction ft=fm.beginTransaction();
    ft.replace(R.id.fragment_switch,  myFragment);
    ft.commit();

}

}

Solution

  • Replace your FragmentOne.xml with this

     <FrameLayout 
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
    
        <!-- TODO: Update blank fragment layout -->
    
       <ListView
          android:id="@android:id/list"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent"
          android:layout_gravity="left|top" />
    
    
    </FrameLayout>
    

    Here you just needed to change the id of ListView to this

     android:id="@android:id/list"
