List fragment not appearing owing to No view found for ID error

Question

I'm trying to launch a list fragment but it only seems to be working on tablets. When I run my app on phones the app crashes. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Code are below.

Error

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No view found for id 0x7f0c0050 (com.apptacularapps.exitsexpertlondonlite:id/master_container) for fragment FragmentMainList{b76424 #1 id=0x7f0c0050}

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    private boolean mTwoPane;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        FragmentMainList newFragment = new FragmentMainList();
        FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        transaction.replace(R.id.master_container, newFragment);
        transaction.commit();

        if (findViewById(R.id.detail_container) != null) {
            mTwoPane = true;
        }
    }
}

FragmentMainList.java

public class FragmentMainList extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment {

    ListView list_main;

    String[] listContent = {
            "Item 1",
            "Item 2",
            "Item 3"
    };

    private boolean mTwoPane;

    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState){
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main_list, container, false);
        list_main = (ListView)v.findViewById(R.id.list_main);

        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,listContent);
        list_main.setAdapter(adapter);

        return v;
    }
}

Answer 1

it's because you have this line

transaction.replace(R.id.master_container, newFragment);

and you don't have any layout inside activity_main.xml that has the same id as master_container
