I'm guessing you are finding the id of the parent layout inside pro_ocr, hence you are getting an NPE. An include is used like any other view inside your layout. You need to give the include tag an id:

 <include
 android:id="@+id/proOcr"
 layout="@layout/pro_ocr" />

Then you can use it as View in your Fragment. Getting the ids of the views inside the included layout is similar to any other view.

I am trying to initialize a view inside a layout that is being included. – Muhammad Awais Nov 20 '20 at 15:52
Where are you initializing it? Can you add it to question along with the included xml layout? – private static Nov 20 '20 at 16:03
