I got this error message state android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #9: Error inflating class fragment. Is it because of i'm not extending it into fragment in MessagesFragment? By the way, my app using TabHost.

FirstFragment.java

package com.xxxxx.yyyyy.match;

import com.xxxxx.yyyyy.R;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;

public class FirstFragment extends Fragment {

    public FirstFragment() {
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View v = LayoutInflater.from(getActivity()).inflate(R.layout.first_fragment,
                null);
    return v;
    }
}

first_fragment.xml

I see this lines in your layout code :

  android:layout_height="0dip"
  android:layout_weight="1"

RelativeLayout does not support weight attribute. Your MessageFragment's height will always be 0. So you should set layout_height to match_parent.

Also if possible, post stack trace of your error.

Also you have used Fragment from support library in FirstFragment but not in MessageFragment. It must be a typo which need to be fixed or it will give you an error on devices with API less than 11.

Edit : It seems your HomeActivity is not implementing OnFragmentInteractionListener, which is throwing ClassCastException in onAttach callback.

So how to implement OnFragmentInteractionListener ? Do you have any idea? –  Dato' Mohammad Nurdin Mar 11 at 9:19

call your setListAdapter(adapter); in onActivityCreated()

check the lifecycle methodes

http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html

onCreate() calls before initializing the fragment;

also chenge this

 View v = LayoutInflater.from(getActivity()).inflate(R.layout.first_fragment,
            false);

In your MessagesFragment's onAttach, your com.xxxxx.yyyyy.HomeActivity is passed in as activity.

Then, in the following code, you expect HomeActivity is also OnFragmentInteractionListener

mListener = (OnFragmentInteractionListener) activity;

To solve this, you need to make your HomeActivity

public class HomeActivity extends Activity implements OnFragmentInteractionListener
