Well, I'm trying to create a TabHostFragment inside a Fragment, the problem that I'm facing is that I can't implement it because I'm using already a drawer navigation. I was looking for some answers here in SO, but I didn't find the best way to do it.
I'm using this Navigation drawer example, but I've added more fragments and more items, the thing is that I tried to implement this code of this example, but it doesn't work. I know it can be possible because Google Play, YouTube, Play Music... all of those app have a drawer navigation with Tabs inside.
The problem is that one of the all things I've tried is create a TabHostFragment adapter like in the example of the answer and then at the time to do this :
private void displayView(int position) {
// update the main content by replacing fragments
Fragment fragment = null;
switch (position) {
case 0:
mTabHost = (FragmentTabHost)findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab1").setIndicator("Tab1"),
MisOfertasFragment.class, null);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab2").setIndicator("Tab2"),
RecomendacionesFragment.class, null);
break;
I don't know if it's the correct way to do this but I tried, this case it's where it controls what item of the navigation drawer is clicked, then when the user clicks on the first item it should show the TabHost.
LogCat error looks like :
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.widget.TabHost$TabSpec android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost.newTabSpec(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference
The line where is pointed this error is :
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab1").setIndicator("Tab1"),
and in displayView(0):
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
// on first time display view for first nav item
displayView(0);
}
I know this is not the best idea to go the FragmentTabHost (implement this on the switch case), but I tried also creating a new class like the exmaple of the answer and cann on this case fragment = new ClassWithTabs and it give to me the same error.
Please tell me what I'm missunderstanding or doing wrong, because I don't get what I'm doing wrong.
If you guys need more code you can ask to me and I'll post it as fast as I can.
EDIT
I've changed the import, I had import android.app.FragmentManager; and I changed to import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;, and only is giving me one error that is in this bunch of code :
if (fragment != null) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.frame_container, fragment).commit(); //here's the error
// update selected item and title, then close the drawer
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
mDrawerList.setSelection(position);
setTitle(navMenuTitles[position]);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
Error --> Error:(253, 37) error: incompatible types: android.app.Fragment cannot be converted to android.support.v4.app.Fragment
