android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #7: Error inflating class fragment

Question

I know similar questions like this has been answered but I seem to have done what the tutorial suggested and reading from other posts but still I get the Inflator error. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Please check the code. Thanks a lot.

Edit: I have two fragments in an activity. I have a button in one fragment and a textview in the other. I am trying to understand how fragments work so I made this code myself after reading the documentation. When the button is triggered in one fragment it sends a value to the other fragment in the activity. I am not able to get the fragment to inflate

MainActivity.java

        import com.transport.mbtalocpro.PredictedTimeFragment.ButtonClickListener;
        import android.os.Bundle;
        import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;


        public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements ButtonClickListener {

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


            @Override
            public void sendCounter(int count) {
                TestFrag testF = (TestFrag) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.bottomHalf);
                if(testF != null) testF.setCounter(String.valueOf(count));

            }

        }

PredictedTimeFragment.java

            import android.app.Activity;
            import android.os.Bundle;
            import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;

            public class PredictedTimeFragment extends Fragment {


            ButtonClickListener bListener;

                    button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                            test(v);

                        }
                    });
                } catch(InflateException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    System.out.println("Predicted Time Fragment");

                }


            public void test(View view) {
                bListener.sendCounter(23);
            }

        }

I am trying to support pre-honey comb versions too and I think I am importing all the support libraries.

Answer 1

Delete your import statement:

import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;

And import again with the pop-up import suggestion. I don´t know why but it always works for me.

import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
