Android unfortunately has stopped when I want to push fragment

Question

If I want to change fragment when user has selected some elements of menu (android navigation drawer) my app crashing.

Here is my fragment class code

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public class InboxActivity extends Fragment
{
    @Override

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

    }

}

It's very simple code.

Here what i do on my main class with drawer:

private void selectItem(int position) {


    Fragment f;
    if(position == 1)
    {
        f = new InboxActivity();
        FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
        FragmentTransaction ft = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
        ft.replace(R.id.content_frame, f);
        ft.commit();

        Intent activity = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), InboxActivity.class);
        startActivity(activity);                
    }
}

It is very simple code too. And here is my errors:

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

As stated in your logcat output

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.example.android.navigationdrawerexample.InboxActivity cannot be cast to android.app.Activity

You're trying to start your fragment as an activity

Intent activity = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), InboxActivity.class);
startActivity(activity);

You should remove those two lines as your fragment has already been added using a FragmentTransaction .

Answer 2

You're doing a bit of overkill here. First, you create the fragment and replace it through a transaction, which is all correct. However after that, you're trying to start your fragment class as an activity. A fragment is not an activity, so that's why you get this in your error log:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.example.android.navigationdrawerexample.InboxActivity cannot be cast to android.app.Activity

The solution is fairly simple, just remove these two lines:

    Intent activity = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), InboxActivity.class);
    startActivity(activity);

Protip: rename InboxActivity to InboxFragment . Confusing names are the worst. ;-)

Answer 3

public class InboxActivity extends Fragment

您的InboxActivity应该扩展Activity以便以您尝试的方式启动它
