        mCursorAdapter.swapCursor(null);

    }
}

Fragment Java(it says im getting an error around here:

 if (mFragmentManager != null) {
        writer.print(prefix); writer.print("mFragmentManager=");
        writer.println(mFragmentManager);
    }
    if (mHost != null) {
        writer.print(prefix); writer.print("mHost=");
        writer.println(mHost);
    }
    if (mParentFragment != null) {
        writer.print(prefix); writer.print("mParentFragment=");
        writer.println(mParentFragment);

In conclusion I'm trying to run the app but everytime I go into a certain section, in this case being Events.java being nav_events.xml layout, I keep getting the error and don't know how to fix it

Your error is found on line 46 of your Events.java file.

You're inflating a view and declaring it a ListView in Java (on line 46) when it seems to be a LinearLayout in your XML file.

Also right after that you're using getView(). You can only use that function correctly after onCreateView() has returned a View, definitely not within it.

EDIT after comment: You haven't returned the View yet as you can't execute any code after a return statement. Now without your layout file I can only speculate but probably replace

eventListView = (ListView) inflater.inflate(R.layout.nav_events, container, false);

with

View rootView = (LinearLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.nav_events, container, false);

Then replace all occurrences of getView() in that code block with rootView. And at the very end

return rootView;

First what should I do then? and I already returned the view — DavidCoder, May 24 '18 at 18:20
