I am having an issue binding my JSON data Object to a listView fragment. I'm getting an NPE at line 100 where I bind to my Simple Adapter. I have tried various ways about doing this but have been unsuccessful. According to the docs:

You must use ListFragment.setListAdapter() to associate the list with an adapter. Do not directly call ListView.setAdapter() or else important initialization will be skipped.

I'm sure that is my issue but I don't know how to go about correcting my code. Below is the NPE and my activity. Please any help will be appreciated, esp some code example because I'm learning as I go....

Unless you are omitting code you never assign the value of c or context.

When calling

SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(c, mList, R.layout.list_item, from, to);

You are passing in "c" which will always be null.

switch "c" to getActivity() and the problem should go away

Additionaly,

final AQuery aq = new AQuery(c);

You should initialize this once you know you have access to getActivity(). When a fragment is created it will not immediately have access to the activity until attach(..) is called.
