I'm still very new to app development, so I'm trying to wrap my head around creating a basic soundboard that spans across 5 pages (or fragments I guess). I modeled my java code from the default 'Tabbed Activity' option when creating a project in Android Studio.
My issue is that when I make my MainActivity.java code reference multiple fragments, the app crashes when tested on the emulator. The first page loads and all soundbites work, however when I try to swipe / click a new tab the app just gives up. I've tried several workarounds, and found that if I make all 5 tabs reference the same fragment the code works fine, but my troubleshooting skills stop after that.
My code is as follows:
MainActivity.java
import java.util.Locale;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener {
SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;
ViewPager mViewPager;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);
mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
});
for (int i = 0; i < mSectionsPagerAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
actionBar.addTab(
actionBar.newTab()
.setText(mSectionsPagerAdapter.getPageTitle(i))
.setTabListener(this));
}
}
public void playSound (View v){
String tag = (String) v.getTag();
int resId = getResources().getIdentifier(tag, "raw", getPackageName());
Intent playSound = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SoundPlayerService.class);
playSound.putExtra("soundid", resId);
startService(playSound);

I've noticed that when I modify the SectionsPagerAdapter to return 5 copies of "new fragment_a()" it works fine. The error log seems to suggest a problem with my onCreateView, but I haven't found any solutions elsewhere that can help. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
edit: As requested, the code for fragment_c.java:
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public class fragment_c extends Fragment {
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_c, container, false);
return rootView;
}
}
