How to move from one fragment to another

Question

I currently have a program that has multiple fragments, and I want a button in the home fragment to take me to a second fragment. I cannot figure out how to do this. I will include the code for my HomeFragment

HomeFragment.java

            Uri imageUri = data.getData();
            imageView.setImageURI(imageUri);
        }
    }
}

between the two lines of asterisks, I have attempted to write some code to make the button take me to the second fragment. If anyone can fix this code, or offer me a new solution towards answering my question, that would be greatly appreciated.

I had forgotten to add a commit statement in my code but even with that it still crashes. Here is the error message:

Answer 1

You are missing a call to FragmentTransaction.commit() .

*********************************************************************************************
public void onClick(View v) {
    DisplayFragment displayFragment = new DisplayFragment();
    FragmentManager fragmentManager =  getFragmentManager();
    fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
                    .replace(R.id.DisplayFragment, displayFragment, displayFragment.getTag())
                    .commit() // <- HELLO!;
*********************************************************************************************

Edit: Well, now you're just asking a completely new question, but OK.

Your error messages is pretty explicit: you are passing null to FirebaseVisionImage.fromBitmap in your call to detectTextFromImage in your HomeFragment at line 94:

java.lang.NullPointerException: null reference
    at com.google.android.gms.common.internal.Preconditions.checkNotNull(Unknown Source:7)
    at com.google.firebase.ml.vision.common.FirebaseVisionImage.<init>(Unknown Source:3)
    at com.google.firebase.ml.vision.common.FirebaseVisionImage.fromBitmap(Unknown Source:2)
    at com.mvsolutions.snap.ui.home.HomeFragment.detectTextFromImage(HomeFragment.java:94)

From your code I'm guessing it's imageBitmap so you should start there. Please use your debugger to determine why that is null then fix your logic so it's not null.
