Question

I have been going through nested fragments documentation, best practices and all possible links here in StackOverflow. I have seen suggestions to avoid using fragment tag i

Don't call the transactions inside of onCreateView either use onActivityCteated or onCreate.

Also worth noting don't call, executePendingTransactions when you are inside a of the parent fragment, that is bound to break something.

Try to setup your parent fragment something like this:

public class MessageFragment extends Fragment {
  private EditText msgText;

  private Activity activity;

  TextView tvTitle, tvContent, tvIntro;
  Button bAction;

  public static MessageFragment newInstance() {
    MessageFragment f = new MessageFragment();
    return (f);
  }

  @Override
  public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.message, container, false);
    tvTitle = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.fragment_title);
    tvIntro = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.fragment_intro);
    tvContent = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.fragment_contents);
    bAction = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.fragment_action);
    return view;
  }

  @Override
  public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
    activity = getActivity();
    if (activity != null) {
        Fragment fragment = getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.sms_message);
        Log.d("MESSAGE_FRAGMENT", "onActivityCreated" + fragment);
        msgText = (EditText) ((MessageEditFragment)fragment).getView().findViewById(R.id.message_edit_text);
        bAction.setEnabled(!msgText.getText().toString().trim().equals(""));
        msgText.selectAll();
    }
    Fragment fragment = MessageEditFragment.newInstance();
    getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
      .replace(R.id.sms_message, fragment)
      .commit();
  }
}
