Change Weight of a LinearLayout in a Fragment - Android Studio

Question

(First of all I must say that I have a regular English). Hi guys, I'm trying to change the weight of a LinearLayout from a Fragment. This is my code for that, but at the moment of clicking the fragment it crashes. The idea is that at the moment of clicking on the fragment it fills the mobile screen, and the same with the other fragments.

 public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    View v=inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_info1, container, false);
    v.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            LinearLayout XX = (LinearLayout) v.findViewById(R.id.LinearInfo1);
            XX.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,0));
        }
    });
    return v;
}

Here is the Error:

In the xml code I tried to put each fragment in a Linear Layout to be able to modify their weight more easily.

<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"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context="com.example.jhon.myapplication.Informacion">
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical">
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:id="@+id/LinearInfo1">
            <fragment
                android:id="@+id/fragment"

                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                tools:layout="@layout/fragment_info1" />
        </LinearLayout>
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:id="@+id/LinearInfo2"
            android:layout_weight="1">
            <fragment
                android:id="@+id/fragment2"
                android:name="com.example.jhon.myapplication.Info2"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                tools:layout="@layout/fragment_info2" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>

Try this in your code .

private LinearLayout XX;

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_info1, container, false);
    // add here 
    XX = (LinearLayout) v.findViewById(R.id.LinearInfo1);
    v.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            LinearLayout.LayoutParams param = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
            param.weight = 1;

            // edited here
            if (XX != null) {
                XX.setLayoutParams(param);
            }
        }
    });
    return v;
}

- Make the LinearLayout as global variable .

- Make LinearLayout final

final LinearLayout XX = (LinearLayout) v.findViewById(R.id.LinearInfo1);

Find the corresponding ID of LinearLayout
