Error inflating class fragment: Line 10 xml

Question

I'm building an app with a sliding pane and im having trouble running it. I am keep having FCs. I am fairly new to android development.

package com.anshikka.datagushalpha;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.widget.SlidingPaneLayout;
import android.view.View;


public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

SlidingPaneLayout pane;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    pane = (SlidingPaneLayout) findViewById(R.id.sp);
    pane.setPanelSlideListener(new PaneListener());

    if (!pane.isSlideable()) {
        getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.leftpane).setHasOptionsMenu(false);
        getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.rightpane).setHasOptionsMenu(true);
    }
}

public class PaneListener extends FragmentActivity implements SlidingPaneLayout.PanelSlideListener {
    public PaneListener()
    {}

    @Override
    public void onPanelClosed(View view) {
        System.out.println("Panel closed");

        getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.leftpane);
        getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.rightpane);
    }

    @Override
    public void onPanelOpened(View view) {
        System.out.println("Panel opened"); 
        getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.leftpane).setHasOptionsMenu(true);
        getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.rightpane).setHasOptionsMenu(false);
    }

    @Override
    public void onPanelSlide(View view, float arg1) {
        System.out.println("Panel sliding");
    }

}
}

Here's my XML File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.SlidingPaneLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/sp">



<!-- Left side pane. (Master) -->
<fragment android:id="@+id/leftpane" android:name="com.anshikka.datagushalpha.MainActivity"
    android:layout_width="190dp" android:layout_height="match_parent"
    class:com.
    android:layout_gravity="left" />


<!-- Right side page. (Slave) -->
<fragment android:id="@+id/rightpane" android:name="com.anshikka.datagushalpha.MainActivity"
    android:layout_width="350dp" android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="right" android:layout_weight="1" />

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

Here is my Log

Is com.anshikka.datagushalpha.MainActivity a fragment or rather an activity (which it would seem from the name)? You cannot use activities as fragments. Activities contain fragments. — Oliver Jonas, Feb 22 '14 at 20:55
With that name attribute you are trying to tell both Fragments they are the MainActivity. As your Logcat tells you, MainActivity is no Fragment but a FragmentActivity. You need new Fragments, you wont be able to invoke MainActivity on itself. Also whats that class:com.? And have you closed the you opened? — tritop, Feb 22 '14 at 20:56

It looks like your XML layout file is malformed. Just remove the line with class:com. and see if it goes successfully.

<fragment android:id="@+id/leftpane" android:name="com.anshikka.datagushalpha.MainActivity"
    android:layout_width="190dp" android:layout_height="match_parent"
    class:com. <===== THIS LINE IS UNNECESSARY
    android:layout_gravity="left" />

I removed that. But i'm still getting the same FC error. Is there anything else? – user3238863 Feb 22 '14 at 20:56
I looked at your error message more closely and found `Trying to instantiate a class com.anshikka.datagushalpha.MainActivity that is not a Fragment`. Right, your MainActivity is an Activity and not a Fragment. You need to define a Fragment and refer that from XML. – Gaku Ueda Feb 26 '14 at 23:35

I solved this problem adding the fullname of the activity you are parsing to the fragment into the manifest, including the com. path, like:

    <activity
        android:name="com.example.mainproject.PaneTest"

        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

Before was:

    <activity
        android:name=".PaneTest"

        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

Hope this helps!!
