android 2.3.3 inflating error SlidePaneLayout

Question

I'm working on SlidingPaneLayout for android. I am trying to implement it in android 2.3.3. But the problem is it giving problem in inflating. I followed a tutorial for it. It has minSdk of 10. If I tried implementing the same with below version. It is giving error. The code goes like this.

package com.example.slidpanelayout;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.widget.SlidingPaneLayout;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

    SlidingPaneLayout Pane;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Pane = (SlidingPaneLayout) findViewById(R.id.sp);

        Pane.setPanelSlideListener(new PaneListener());

        if(!Pane.isSlideable()){
            getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.leftpane).setHasOptionsMenu(false);
            getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.rightpane).setHasOptionsMenu(true);  
        }
    }

    private class PaneListener implements SlidingPaneLayout.PanelSlideListener{

        @Override
        public void onPanelClosed(View arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            System.out.println("Panel closed");

            getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.leftpane).setHasOptionsMenu(false);
            getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.rightpane).setHasOptionsMenu(true);
        }

        @Override
        public void onPanelOpened(View arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            System.out.println("Panel Opened");
            getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.leftpane).setHasOptionsMenu(true);
            getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.rightpane).setHasOptionsMenu(false);
        }

        @Override
        public void onPanelSlide(View arg0, float arg1) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            System.out.println("Sliding");
        }

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

}

main.xml

<android.support.v4.widget.SlidingPaneLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/sp">

    <fragment 
        android:id="@+id/leftpane"
        android:layout_width="190dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="left"/>
    <fragment 
        android:id="@+id/rightpane"
        android:layout_width="350dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:layout_weight="1"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.SlidingPaneLayout>

You need to provide the class for fragment.

For Example :

<fragment class="com.example.android.apis.app.FragmentArguments$MyFragment"
    android:id="@+id/embedded"
    android:layout_width="0px" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:label="@string/fragment_arguments_embedded" />

When you add a fragment, besides of the id, you should also assign a name for it. That's why you have the error message name == null

The android:name attribute in the specifies the Fragment class to instantiate in the layout.

Check the Developers' Guide here:

I tried it. But after that, it is showing NullPointerException at getFragmentManager(). I already assigned and id to that fragment. Even after that it is showing like that. – user2955143 Nov 13 '13 at 09:41
