SwipeRefreshLayout -Attempt to invoke virtual method on a null object reference

Question

I try to realize a ListFragment with refresh his content by pulldown with the SwipeRefreshLayout

My Code is

 public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);

    SwipeRefreshLayout srl = (SwipeRefreshLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.srl);
    srl.setOnRefreshListener(this);
}

My XML is

<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/srl"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="#ffffff" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listview"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>

But i always get the Error

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout.setOnRefreshListener(android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout$OnRefreshListener)' on a null object reference

        at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:811)

it looks view.findViewById(R.id.srl) returns null.

Someone has a Idea whats wrong?

Edit:

My OnCrateView

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {


    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.pulldown, container, false);


    return rootView;
}

Now i get this Error

Do not use SwipeRefreshLayout as the parent layout. It will work. Use it like this

  <LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/srl"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="#ffffff" >

  <android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
    android:id="@+id/srl"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listview"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>

</LinearLayout>

It works for me. Happy coding :)
