setArguments(args) is not resolvable when I creating a MainActivity newInstance method in AndroidStudio

Question

I am creating a newInstance method under Android's Activity class.

However, it will not recognize the setArgument method that accompanies the fragment. Have you seen this before?

private static final String ARG_OPTION = "argument_option";

public static MainActivity newInstance (int option){
    MainActivity fragment = new MainActivity();
    Bundle args = new Bundle();
    args.putInt(ARG_OPTION, option);
    fragment.setArgument(args);
    return  fragment;

}

Answer 1

You need to use

fragment.setArguments(args);

instead of

fragment.setArgument(args);
