    <p>I'm occasionally getting a <code>NullPointerException</code> in my ArrayAdapter that populates my ListFragment. It appears that <code>getActivity()</code> is returning null, but as far as I can tell it shouldn't do that.</p> <p>Adapter code <code>inflater = (LayoutInflater)...</code> is the exception line:</p> <pre><code>@Override public View getView( int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent ) { view = convertView; if ( view == null ) { /* Inflate a row */ inflater = (LayoutInflater)getActivity().getSystemService( Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE ); // THIS IS THE EXCEPTION LINE view = inflater.inflate( R.layout.pairing_list_row, parent, false ); } </code></pre> <p>I'm using a Loader to get the data, and I don't init that until the <code>onActivityCreated</code> method. The adapter isn't created until the loader is finished loading, so it should never happen prior to <code>onActivityCreated</code>.</p> <pre><code>@Override public void onActivityCreated( Bundle savedInstanceState ) { super.onActivityCreated( savedInstanceState ); getLoaderManager().initLoader( 0, null, this ); } @Override public void onLoadFinished( Loader&lt;Cursor&gt; loader, Cursor cursor ) { PairingArrayAdapter pairings = (PairingArrayAdapter)getListAdapter(); if ( pairings == null ) { pairings = new PairingArrayAdapter( getActivity(), R.layout.pairing_list_row ); setListAdapter( pairings ); } ... </code></pre> <p>Any ideas on what's causing the NullPointerException? It doesn't happen all the time, it happens once, I do the same thing again and it doesn't happen. I can't figure it out.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
