How to convert this Activity to Fragment?

Question

I'm developing my first app and i have the following code in my Activity that now i want to convert to Fragment (to use a tabbed activity);

public class StatTab1 extends Activity {

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.stattab1);

        ListView lview = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview);
        populateList();
        ListViewAdapter adapter = new ListViewAdapter(this, list);
        lview.setAdapter(adapter);
    }
...

I changed the code in this way:

public class StatTab1 extends Fragment {

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        ListView lview = (ListView) getView().findViewById(R.id.listview);
        populateList();
        ListViewAdapter adapter = new ListViewAdapter(getActivity(), list);
        lview.setAdapter(adapter);
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {             
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.stattab1, container, false);
        return rootView;
    }
    ...

I get this error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo java.lang.NullPointerException.

Here is the LogCat:

Thanks. Which line is StatTab1.java line 31? It looks like that's where the error is. — Derek Kurth, Oct 03 '14 at 19:39
ListView lview = (ListView) getView().findViewById(R.id.listview); — smartmouse, Oct 03 '14 at 19:41

I finally figure out the problem and i solved. This do the trick:

public class StatTab1 extends Fragment
{    
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {             
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.stattab1, container, false);

        ListView lview = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.listview);
        populateList();
        ListViewAdapter adapter = new ListViewAdapter(getActivity(), list);
        lview.setAdapter(adapter);

        return rootView;
    }
...

Cool, I was about to suggest moving it to onCreateView. Here's a related post where that was the accepted answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9488595/getview-returning-null-when-fragment-has-been-created-from-an-activity – Derek Kurth Oct 03 '14 at 19:50
I figure out the problem by myself :P Thank you anyway for your support ;) – smartmouse Oct 03 '14 at 19:52
