getActivity() returns null in Fragment function

Question

I have a fragment (F1) with a public method like this

public void asd() {
    if (getActivity() == null) {
        Log.d(\"yes\",\"it is null\");
    }
}

Since Android API level 23, onAttach(Activity activity) has been deprecated. You need to use onAttach(Context context). http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Fragment.html#onAttach(android.app.Activity)

Activity is a context so if you can simply check the context is an Activity and cast it if necessary.

@Override
public void onAttach(Context context) {
    super.onAttach(context);

    Activity a;

    if (context instanceof Activity){
        a=(Activity) context;
    }

}
