Answer 1

The Fragment is not a Activity which means you can not use activity methods or it's lifecycle. This means you cant find views in the onCreate() method of a Fragment and you can not use findViewById on it either.

This is the Android lifecycle https://stackoverflow.com/a/36340059/4467208

and to adjust your code according to that, move your findViews into onCreateView() like this

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragmentLayout, container, false);
    nome = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.nome);
    return view;
}

And so on.
