Communicating between Dynamically Created Fragment giving Null Pointer Exception

Question

I have created One ListFragment and ononItemClick of each Item I trying to open the Value of the List into other Fragment .

I have Sucessfully created that by having two fragmentsand Communicated them through interface via activity as Described in google docs.

But When I m trying to create a new Fragment on each Item Click of List and communicating through interface I getting a Null Pointer Exception on that View

public class Details extends Fragment {

    ViewGroup view_details;

    static int count;

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

        view_details = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate( R.layout.details, container , false);

        return view_details;

    }

    public void setTextView(String details_string){

        Log.d("TAG", ""+details_string.toString());

        TextView txt_view_details = (TextView) view_details.findViewById(R.id.txt_details);

           //Getting Null POinter Here

        txt_view_details.setText(details_string.toString());

    }
}

My interface Method where I m inserting new Fragment into FrameLayout is:

@Override
    public void connectIt(String time) {

        Details details = new Details();

        FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();

        fragmentTransaction.replace( R.id.frameLayout , details );

        fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);

        if (details != null ) {

            details.setTextView(time);

        }

        fragmentTransaction.commit();

    }

Any Help is Truly Appreciated...

i think onCreateView if called after you call commit on the fragmentmanager. try to switch your if clause and fragmentTransaction.commit(); — andreasg, Dec 17 '13 at 13:03

It's because at time when you call details.setTextView(time); fragment's view was not created yet. You should pass time as argument into fragment. In your detail fragment class create this method

 public static Detail newInstance(String time) {
        Detail fragment = new Detail();
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putString("time", time);
        fragment.setArguments(args);
        return fragment;
 }

and then you can get time and set it in onCreateView:

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

        view_details = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate( R.layout.details, container , false);
        TextView txt_view_details = (TextView) view_details.findViewById(R.id.txt_details);
        txt_view_details.setText(getArguments().getString("title"));
        return view_details;

    }

Then in your activity create fragment like this:

@Override
    public void connectIt(String time) {

        Details details = Details.newInstance(time);

        FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();

        fragmentTransaction.replace( R.id.frameLayout , details );

        fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);

        fragmentTransaction.commit();

    }
