Fragment makes it out of onCreateView whenever I switch out the layout, leading me to believe the problem is within the xml file itself

the AddFragment.java:

    EditText activityName;
    Spinner priority;
    Button dateSelected;
    TextView date;
    View v;
    Context context;

    FloatingActionButton actionButton;
    String dateStrung = "";
    public static AddFragment newInstance(Entrada e) {
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putSerializable("entrada", e);
        AddFragment fragment = new AddFragment();
        fragment.setArguments(args);
        return fragment;
    }
    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.addfragment, container, false);
        return v;
    }
    @Override
    public void onAttach(Context context) {
        super.onAttach(context);
        this.context = context;
        backToMain = (CallBackToMain) context;
    }
    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
        instance();
        config();
        actions();
    }
    public void instance(){
        modify = (Entrada) getArguments().getSerializable("entrada");
        date = v.findViewById(R.id.fecha);
        dateSelected = v.findViewById(R.id.date_select);
        activityName = v.findViewById(R.id.activity_name);

        if(year < Calendar.YEAR || (year == Calendar.YEAR && month < Calendar.MONTH) || (year == Calendar.YEAR && month == Calendar.MONTH && dayOfMonth < Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)){
            new AlertDialog.Builder(context).setTitle("Fecha invalida").setMessage("Fecha anterior al día presente").show();
        }
        else{
            dateStrung = year + "" + month + "" + dayOfMonth;
            date.setText(dayOfMonth + "/" + month + "/" + year);
        }
    }
    public interface CallBackToMain{
        void backToMain(Entrada e);
    }
}
It simply comes to a dead halt in:
v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.addfragment, container, false);
with the error java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.lang.String.equals(java.lang.Object)' on a null object reference
I've revised the java and the xml code countless times, but I can't seem to find the root cause of this, and to top it off it's a string.equals that seems to be the biggest culprit here, so I simply don't understand what could be happening...
Can anyone lend me a hand? I'm a bit of a rookie, it that hasn't been made clear yet ^^;
