findViewById returns null in fragment

Question

I have problem using the findViewByID methond in a fragment.

The spinner in Spinner spinner = (Spinner) view.findViewById(R.id.tabsearchspinner_location);

Answer 1

Inflate your View without a ViewGroup, as it's simply inside your FragmentActivity:

View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_tab_suggestions, null);

And the way IDs are added inside the XML layout files is like this:

android:id="@+id/tabsearchspinner_location"

As you can see, you're missing the +
