Fragment error in android navigation drawer

Question

Hello I'm getting expression expected error multiple times and I don't know what i'm doing wrong, if someone can help me that will be great. Thanks.

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity
    implements NavigationDrawerFragment.NavigationDrawerCallbacks {

/**
 * Fragment managing the behaviors, interactions and presentation of the navigation drawer.
 */
private NavigationDrawerFragment mNavigationDrawerFragment;

/**
 * Used to store the last screen title. For use in {@link #restoreActionBar()}.
 */
private CharSequence mTitle;

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

    mNavigationDrawerFragment = (NavigationDrawerFragment)
            getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.navigation_drawer);
    mTitle = getTitle();

    // Set up the drawer.
    mNavigationDrawerFragment.setUp(
            R.id.navigation_drawer,
            (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout));
}

@Override
public void onNavigationDrawerItemSelected(int position) {
    // update the main content by replacing fragments

    fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
           .replace(R.id.container, Fragment) //expression expected error on "Fragment"
                .commit();
}

public void onSectionAttached(int position) {
    switch (position) {
        case 1:
            Fragment = new Welcome(); //expression expected error on "Fragment"
            break;

            Fragment = new Chat(); //expression expected error on "Fragment"
            break;
        case 6:
            Fragment = new Item_Search(); //expression expected error on "Fragment"
            break;
        case 7:
            Fragment = new Recipes(); //expression expected error on "Fragment"
            break;
        case 8:
            Fragment = new Wallpaper(); //expression expected error on "Fragment"
            break;
        case 9:
            Fragment = new Maps_Mods(); //expression expected error on "Fragment"
            break;
        default :
            break;

    }
}

        // decide what to show in the action bar.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        restoreActionBar();
        return true;
    }
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

@Override

    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.

    private static final String ARG_SECTION_NUMBER = "section_number";

    /**
     * Returns a new instance of this fragment for the given section
     * number.

    public static PlaceholderFragment newInstance(int sectionNumber) {
        PlaceholderFragment fragment = new PlaceholderFragment();
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER, sectionNumber);
        fragment.setArguments(args);
        return fragment;
    }

    public PlaceholderFragment() {
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
        TextView textView = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.section_label);
        textView.setText(Integer.toString(getArguments().getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER)));
        return rootView;
    }

    @Override
    public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
        super.onAttach(activity);
        ((MainActivity) activity).onSectionAttached(
                getArguments().getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER));
    }
}

}

The error is underlining "Fragment". I'm trying to have the navigation drawer stitch to different fragments.

Answer 1

It should be

fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
       .replace(R.id.container,new Welcome())

and

Welcome fragment = new Welcome(); 

Similarly for others.

Since you are using support based Fragment. You need to change this

public class MainActivity extends Activity

to

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity

if you need ActionBar . You also need to use AppCompat .

Check this

Answer 2

Fragment is a key word. What you need is a variable of type Fragment. So, for example, put this in the same section as mTitle:

Fragment mFragment = null; 

In your switch statement, put, for example:

mFragment = new Welcome();

Then, when you're setting up the transaction, you can put:

fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
   .replace(R.id.container, mFragment)

This may not solve all your problems, but should get you past these compilation errors.
