  1. POgetActivity returning null from fragment
    text
    copied!<p>For school I am making an android app. For this app I have a fragment, which shows a gridview with just strings, from a database. For this I need a fragment. When I call getActivity(), it returns null. The onAttach method, as suggested <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6215239/getactivity-returns-null-in-fragment-function">here</a> doesn't get called before the app crashes. How should I solve this?<br> weekFragmetn.xml:</p> <pre><code>package nl.siebeh.schoolmate; import java.util.ArrayList; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Context; import android.os.Bundle; import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; import android.util.Log; import android.view.ContextMenu; import android.view.ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo; import

db; Context mContext; @Override public void onAttach(Activity activity) { mContext = getActivity(); Log.i("Schoolmate","onAttach called"); super.onAttach(activity); } public weekFragment
