inflate exception after swiping between tab views a few times

Question

I am using a TabLayout set to work with a ViewPager to swipe between 3 Fragments. The app is able to inialize an switch between tabs but after a few times it crashes and gives me an Inflate Exception in the onCreateView() method of my 1st fragment. Here is the error code:

Here's the piece of code that is giving the error:

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_2, container, false);
}

My Fragment class extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment. It only gives the error after a few swipes, not when I run the app at first. I use the same method as above in the other Fragment classes.

Here's how I am setting up the TabLayout and the View Pager on my MainActivity:

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

    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    // ViewPager
    ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewPager);
    setupViewPager(viewPager);

    TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
    tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);

    tabLayout.getTabAt(0).setIcon(tabIcons[0]);
    tabLayout.getTabAt(1).setIcon(tabIcons[1]);
    tabLayout.getTabAt(2).setIcon(tabIcons[2]);

}

private void setupViewPager(ViewPager viewPager)
{
    Fragment2 f2 = new Fragment2();

    Fragment1 f1= new Fragment1();

    Fragment3 f3 = new Fragment3();

    ViewPagerAdapter adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
    adapter.addFragment(f2, "ONE");
    adapter.addFragment(f3, "TWO");
    adapter.addFragment(f1, "THREE");
    viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
}

And here's my ViewPagerAdapter class:

public class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
private final List<android.support.v4.app.Fragment> mFragmentList = new ArrayList<>();
private final List<String> mFragmentTitleList = new ArrayList<>();

public ViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager manager)
{
    super(manager);
}

@Override
public android.support.v4.app.Fragment getItem(int position)
{
    return mFragmentList.get(position);
}

@Override
public int getCount()
{
    return mFragmentList.size();
}

public void addFragment(android.support.v4.app.Fragment fragment, String title) {
    mFragmentList.add(fragment);
    mFragmentTitleList.add(title);
}

@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position)
{
    return null;
}

}

I have no idea what's wrong and have looked everywhere about this error but no case I found is similar to mine. Thank you for the help in advance.

Please edit your question and provide the entire Java stack trace. We cannot really help you with just "android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #9: Error". — CommonsWare, Jun 16 '16 at 00:24
That is still not the entire Java stack trace. It cuts off part-way through a line, for example. More importantly, there should be 1+ "Caused by" stanzas showing wrapped exceptions, and it is in there that the real problem will show up. — CommonsWare, Jun 16 '16 at 11:10
Yes, that's better. There are a number of possible causes for that particular error. Search on `Duplicate id, tag null, or parent id 0xffffffff with another fragment` using your favorite search engine and you'll come up lots of Stack Overflow discussions like [this](http://stackoverflow.com/q/22702967/115145), [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/14695397/115145), [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15562416/error-inflating-class-fragment-duplicate-id-illegalargumentexception), and so on. Hopefully, one will match your situation. — CommonsWare, Jun 16 '16 at 13:47

Try adding viewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(2);

This will prevent your view pager from destroying previous fragments.. So I hope you will not get that error.

Adding this line apparently solved the issue, thanks a lot. – Gabriel Schneider Jun 16 '16 at 13:53

inflate exception after swiping between tab views a few times
