Answer 1

Read about fragments Change your code,you can use onCreateView,onViewCreated and onActivityCreated.onCreate method is use initialize Variable,object or receiving Values or objects which from coming Acivity.

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_layout, container, false);

    tvTitle = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.tvTitle);
    ivLogo = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.ivLogo);

    // Each row in the list stores country name, currency and flag 
    List<HashMap<String,String>> aList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>();

    for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
        HashMap<String, String> hm = new HashMap<String,String>();
        hm.put("txt", "Country : " + countries[i]);
        hm.put("cur","Currency : " + currency[i]);
        hm.put("flag", Integer.toString(flags[i]) );
        aList.add(hm);
    } 

    // Keys used in Hashmap 
    String[] from = { "flag","txt","cur" };

    // Ids of views in listview_layout 
    int[] to = { R.id.flag,R.id.txt,R.id.cur};

    // Instantiating an adapter to store each items 
    // R.layout.listview_layout defines the layout of each item 
    SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(v.getContext(), aList, R.layout.listview_layout, from, to);

    // Getting a reference to listview of main.xml layout file 
    ListView listView = ( ListView ) v.findViewById(R.id.listview);

    // Setting the adapter to the listView 
    listView.setAdapter(adapter);

    return v;
}

Solution

This is not the good way to set your content in your fragment !

code

public final class YourFragment extends Fragment{

private TextView tvTitle;

private ImageView ivLogo;


/**
 * default and empty constructor
 * The constructor should stay empty
 */
public YourFragment()
{
}


@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_layout, container, false);

    this.tvTitle = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.tvTitle);
    this.ivLogo = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.ivLogo);
    return v;
}

// ... the rest of your fragment

It should do the job !

hope this help.

Answer 3

remove this code from onCreate:

getActivity().setContentView(R.layout.fragment_date);

and add this method:

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_date, container, false);
}

UPD

here is your modified code:

        // Each row in the list stores country name, currency and flag
        List<HashMap<String,String>> aList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>();

        for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
            HashMap<String, String> hm = new HashMap<String,String>();
            hm.put("txt", "Country : " + countries[i]);
            hm.put("cur","Currency : " + currency[i]);

        }

        String[] from = { "flag","txt","cur" };

        // Ids of views in listview_layout
        int[] to = { R.id.flag,R.id.txt,R.id.cur};

        // Instantiating an adapter to store each items
        // R.layout.listview_layout defines the layout of each item
        SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(getActivity().getBaseContext(), aList, R.layout.listview_layout, from, to);

        // Getting a reference to listview of main.xml layout file
        ListView listView = ( ListView ) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.listview);

        // Setting the adapter to the listView
        listView.setAdapter(adapter);
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_date, container, false);
    }
}
