Fragment returning Null context

Question

I've been trying to fix this for the past 2 hours. Tried a lot of things.

The Fragment seems to be passing a null context to my Adapter. I have tried to initialize the Context variable in onCreate and onCreateView and onActivityCreated. Same result.

Here is my fragment:

    public class ActiveBookingsFragment extends Fragment
{
    Context con;
    ArrayList<Booking> bookings;
    ListView activeBookings_lv;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

        con = this.getActivity();
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        View v =inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_activebookings,container,false);

        activeBookings_lv = (ListView) v.findViewById(R.id.lv_activebookings);
        bookings = new ArrayList<Booking>();

        Booking b1 = new Booking("Data");
        bookings.add(b1);

        activeBookings_lv.setAdapter(new BookingAdapter(con, bookings));

        return v;
    }
}

And here is the logcat error:

Initialize context in Fragment onAttach(.....) like

 @Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
    super.onAttach(activity);
    con = getActivity();
    }
}

you can call getActivity() at any time to get a context in a fragement

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        View v =inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_activebookings,container,false);

        ...

        activeBookings_lv.setAdapter(new BookingAdapter(getActivity(), bookings));

        return v;
    }
}

onActivityCreated() is called after onCreateView(). To get context just use getActivity(), don't create another field which references to activity (it may cause memory leak in future).

It you need this field anyway you may initialize it in onAttach().
