Trouble in Nesting a fragment within a fragment

Question

I'm beginner to java and android, and i'm currently working on a project in which i have situation of using fragment within a fragment,and i have written a program (mentioned below) from which i am facing an app crash.

main fragment:

public class Register extends Fragment implements OnClickListener {
    FragmentManager manager = getChildFragmentManager();
    ImageButton newReg;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View register = inflater.inflate(R.layout.register, container, false);
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        newReg = (ImageButton) register.findViewById(R.id.newreg);
        newReg.setOnClickListener(this);
        return register;
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Fragment details = new Details();
        FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
        transaction.add(details, "adada");
        transaction.commit();
    }

}

nested fragment:

public class Details extends Fragment {
    EditText firstN,lastN,Phone,Email;
    Button Confirm;
 @Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    View details=inflater.inflate(R.layout.register_details, container, false);
    return details;
}
}

Logcat output:

Answer 1

Logcat shows the problematic Line:

newReg = (ImageButton) register.findViewById(R.id.newreg);

You have defined newreg as a Button in xml file register, and you are initializing it as a ImageButton.

Answer 2

Check your layout file register.xml. The view with the id newreg is a Button type but you are casting it to be an ImageButton when you try to get it in onCreateView.

Answer 3

put a FrameLayout in your register.xml file like this

 <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_above="@+id/anyView"
        android:layout_below="@+id/anyOtherView" 
/>

FrameLayout work as a container. Then modify your onClick( View v) method like this:

@Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Fragment details = new Details();
        FragmentManager fragmentManager = getActivity()
                .getSupportFragmentManager();
        FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager
                .beginTransaction();
        fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
        fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.container, details);
        fragmentTransaction.commit();
    }
