What is ViewPager used for?

Layout manager that allows the user to flip left and right through pages of data. You supply an implementation of a PagerAdapter to generate the pages that the view shows. ViewPager is most often used in conjunction with android.

Is ViewPager deprecated?

This method may be called by the ViewPager to obtain a title string to describe the specified page. This method is deprecated.

Just in case anyone doesn't read the comments of passsy's answer, here is a summary of the useful answers:

1) Examine your getItem(int index) method very closely and look for any logic, scenarios or missing 'break' statements which might cause you to end up with a null fragment.

2) Check that the count returned by getCount() matches the number of fragments returned in getItem(int index).

3) Examine your imports and ensure you aren't mixing android.app.Fragment with android.support.v4.app.Fragment

If getItem() in your Adapter returns null that can cause a null pointer exception.

It's a simple solution. I mixed android.app.Fragment and android.support.v4.app.Fragment
