[FIXED] Why do I get the android.view.InflateException when using FragmentContainerView

September 29, 2022 android, android-fragments, java

Issue

I am still pretty new to fragments and I am sure I do not understand things correctly. But I hope I can learn from this now.

I follow this guide for connecting my xml with the fragments: https://developer.android.com/guide/fragments/create. But when starting the app I get an error that says that some parts are not compatible.

Here are my files:

main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

For help and an explanation why it didn't work like that, would be nice

Solution

I think you might want to try loading a simple fragment into an activity.

Try this code. It's working for you.

For more info: click

Note: Always create a new object like this to load fragments new ProductDetailFragment() , and use setContentView(); inside of onCreate().

1. First of all, create the perfect activity to load a fragment.

MainActivity.class

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

String TAG = "MainActivity";

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

    getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                .setReorderingAllowed(true)
                .add(R.id.main, new ProductDetailFragment(), null)
                .commit();
    }
}

activity_main.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity"
    android:id="@+id/main"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    >
</RelativeLayout>

2. create fragment ProductDetailFragment.class

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.annotation.Nullable;
import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment;

public class ProductDetailFragment extends Fragment {
    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view =inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_product_details,container,false);
        System.out.println(view);
        return view;
    }
}

3. make diffrent layout for fragment fragment_product_details.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">

<FrameLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="30dp">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/brand" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/item"
        android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Headline"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:adjustViewBounds="true"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/gibson_1" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="right"
        android:text="@string/price" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="right"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <EditText
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
            android:inputType="phone" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/addCart"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:drawableLeft="@drawable/drawablestart"
            android:text="Add to cart" />
    </LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
