WebViewFragment webView is null after doing a FragmentTransaction

Question

I currently have my application set up with a ListFragment on the left and a DetailsFragment on the right (similar to the layout on the tablet belo

WebViewFragment as is is not that straightforward to use. Try this simple extension (You can copy/paste):

public class UrlWebViewFragment extends WebViewFragment{

    private String url;

    public static UrlWebViewFragment newInstance(String url) {
        UrlWebViewFragment fragment = new UrlWebViewFragment();
        fragment.url = url;
        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        WebView webView = (WebView) super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
        webView.loadUrl(url);
        return webView;
    }         
  }

Call where you need using the factory method:

WebViewFragment fragment = UrlWebViewFragment.newInstance("http://ur-url.com");
