I'm having an issue to where I'm trying to call a method in my main activity which saves my data to a database on a button click to my fragment. The issue is that I am unsure of what to put in the brackets of the method.
Here is my main activity class

Here is my Fragment class

public class AddScoutDataFragment extends Fragment {

// Required empty public constructor
} //End of AddScoutDataFragment
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
final View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_add_scout_data, container, false);
view.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
//Adds data to ScoutFragment
addDataButton = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.buttonDataAdd);
addDataButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
//Saves data to database
MainActivity mainActivity = ((MainActivity)getActivity()).addScoutInfo();
//Returns to ScoutFragment
ScoutFragment fragment = new ScoutFragment();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.enter_from_left, R.anim.exit_to_right, R.anim.enter_from_right, R.anim.exit_to_left);
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, fragment);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
} //End of onClick
}); //End of setOnClickListener
//Returns to ScoutFragment without adding any data
cancelButton = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.buttonCancel);
cancelButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
//Returns to ScoutFragment
ScoutFragment fragment = new ScoutFragment();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();

fragmentTransaction.commit();
} //End of onClick
}); //End of setOnClickListener
// Inflates the layout for this fragment
return view;
} //End of onCreateView
} //End of class
The issue happens in the fragment class in the onCreateView method MainActivity mainActivity = ((MainActivity)getActivity()).addScoutInfo(Need to insert something here);
