Question

package com.example.provafragment;

import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    Button firstFragment, secondFragment;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        // get the reference of Button's
        firstFragment=(Button) findViewById(R.id.firstFragment);
        secondFragment=(Button) findViewById(R.id.secondFragment);

        // perform setOnClickListener event on First Button
        firstFragment.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // load First Fragment
                loadFragment(new FirstFragment());
            }
        });
        // perform setOnClickListener event on Second Button
        secondFragment.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // load Second Fragment
                loadFragment(new SecondFragment());
            }
        });
    }

    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)

    private void loadFragment(Fragment fragment) {
        // create a FragmentManager
        FragmentManager fm=getFragmentManager();
        // create a FragmentTransaction to begin the transaction and replace the Fragment
        FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction=fm.beginTransaction();
        // replace the FrameLayout with new Fragment
        fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.frameLayout, fragment);
        fragmentTransaction.commit(); // save the changes
    }
}

This is the main activity

</LinearLayout>

This is the xml layout

This is the debug console. It crash in setcontenview but my xml seems correct. Into the other two file i set the view like a very simple oncreate function I use androidx and if you need more let me know. I'm trying everything to make it work. I already made "clean project" and "rebuild project" Thank you for your help

try to invalidate cache . from what I see at your xml, looks all fine. — Ticherhaz FreePalestine, Mar 30 '21 at 14:36
the error is not in your activity but maybe in the xml of your fragment — Shay Kin, Mar 30 '21 at 15:14
Nothing changed by invalidating cache. My other activity xml file haven't got red allert but if you want I can post the code — Ivan Vidussi, Mar 30 '21 at 19:56
