Using getView().findViewById in fragment returns NullPointerException

Question

It does give me warning but I\'ve never used fragments so I\'m not sure how to fix it. I get the error on the third line of the code where I\'m trying to find the toolbar.

Answer 1

You're calling getView() inside onCreateView(). By that time, the view is not set, since you're right then constructing it.

The call to getView() will return non-null after onCreateView() and before onDestroyView().

Instead, just call view.findViewById in the View you have just inflated, which I assume is what you want.

LinearLayout mapsT = view.findViewById(R.id.locationT);
