ActionBar with Tabs and Fragments

Question

Okay, so i'm extremely frustrated by logcat. I created an Application that uses a main activity to host two tabs with fragments.

I can't seem to figure out what my problem is. I am following a tutorial and it doesn't work.

UPDATE- Solution posted below. I had the wrong code in the Tab Interface methods. I was calling detach in onTabSelected() therefore the Fragment Manager Back Stack was always null on initialization, and in my onTabReselected method I was attempting to add the intial fragments. Very dumb mistake. -- Thanks for the help in pushing me to find this simple mistake.

Here is my MainActivity:

package com.example.tabs;

import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.app.ActionBar.TabListener;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends Activity{

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

    ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
    actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

    // Create the Tabs and Add them to the ActionBar
    ActionBar.Tab tab1 = actionBar.newTab();
    TabListener tab1Listener = new SimpleTabListener(this, Fragment1.class.getName());
    tab1.setText("Fragment 1");
    tab1.setTabListener(tab1Listener);
    actionBar.addTab(tab1);

    ActionBar.Tab tab2 = actionBar.newTab();
    TabListener tab2Listener = new SimpleTabListener(this, Fragment2.class.getName());
    tab2.setText("Fragment 2");
    tab2.setTabListener(tab2Listener);
    actionBar.addTab(tab2);

}

}

Here are my Fragments: package com.example.tabs;

import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

public class Fragment1 extends Fragment {

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState){
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_1, container, false);
}

} package com.example.tabs;

import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;


public class Fragment2 extends Fragment {

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState){
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment2, container, false);

}

}

And here is my SimpleTabListener:

package com.example.tabs;

import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.app.ActionBar.TabListener;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.content.Context;

  public class SimpleTabListener implements ActionBar.TabListener {


Context m_context;
String m_fragmentClassName ;
Fragment m_fragment = null;


public  SimpleTabListener(Context context, String tabFragmentClassName)
{
    m_context = context;
    m_fragmentClassName = tabFragmentClassName;
}

@Override
public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) 
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    if(m_fragment == null)
    {
        m_fragment = Fragment.instantiate(m_context, m_fragmentClassName);
        ft.add(R.id.contentContainer, m_fragment);
    }else
    {
        ft.attach(m_fragment);
    }

}
@Override
public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft)
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    ft.detach(m_fragment);

}
@Override
public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) 
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

}

Can someone please help me figure out Why the Fragment.instantiate Method will not build my fragments?

This is so frustrating. . .

Answer 1

Wow i feel dumb for this one. so the solution was that I had the Wrong Tab Selection Code. I was implementing my tab code in the onTabReselected Method instead of onTabSelected

@Override
public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) 
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub


}
@Override
public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft)
{
    if(m_fragment == null)
    {
        m_fragment = Fragment.instantiate(m_context, m_fragmentClassName);
        ft.add(android.R.id.content, m_fragment);
    }else
    {
        ft.attach(m_fragment);
    }

}
@Override
public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) 
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    if(m_fragment != null){
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        ft.detach(m_fragment);
    }
}
