No view found for id for fragment when replacing from Adapter

Question

I'm trying to replace my current fragment with another one. I'm doing this from the Adapter, since I wanna do it when clicking on a Card. This is my code into the adapter:

itemView.setOnClickListener(v -> {
            if (mMovieCategory.getImageUrl() != null) {
                try {
                    //TODO
                    FragmentTransaction ft = ((AppCompatActivity) v.getContext()).getSupportFragmentManager()
                            .beginTransaction();
                    ft.replace(R.id.movie_container, new Fragment_Movie());
                    ft.addToBackStack(null);
                    ft.commit();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    Log.e(TAG, "onClick: Image url is not correct");
                }
            }
        });

In the replace function I used the id assigned to the fragment I want to invoke. This is the XML:

  <RelativeLayout 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:id="@+id/movie_container"
        tools:context=".MainActivity" >

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/list"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:divider="@color/list_divider"
            android:dividerHeight="1dp"
            android:listSelector="@drawable/list_row_selector"/>
    </RelativeLayout>

This is the fragment I want to invoke:

        });
        AppController.getInstance().addToRequestQueue(movieReq);
        return view;
    }
}

The error I get is:

No view found for id 0x7f0900ab (com.lab.movietime:id/movie_container) for fragment Fragment_Movie{1f8531a}

Why? Is the id: container_movie incorrect?

Answer 1

Assuming that movie_container is within the Fragment: You need to pass the ID of the container view in the Activity's layout, not the ID of the Fragment's view.

This will be the ID of the View containing the Fragment, as opposed to the View contained within the Fragment.
