    <p><strong>Edit: The problem is that the fragment is getting detached from the Activity. However, I don't know how to prevent this.</strong></p> <p>I have an application that uses a tab bar. When one of the tabs is clicked it loads a list of topics in the space below the tab bar. One of the topics is 'Directions'. Upon clicking this the space is now replaced with a layout that has another bar at the top (below the tab bar) that includes a 'Back' button and a 'Get Directions' button. Below that bar is a google map of the location. If I click 'Back' I am returned to the list as expected. Then if I click 'Directions' in the list I go back to the map as expected. Then if I click 'Back' again instead of returning me to the list again it crashes the app. It shows a NullPointerException that points to the line <code>FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();</code> inside the Back Button's setOnClickListener. Not sure why it's losing track of the fragmentManager.</p> <p>Here is the file for tab that initially loads the list:</p> <pre><code>package org.childrensmuseum.visittcmindy; import java.util.ArrayList;

    1. COpost the stack trace. since your using fragment from support library. and use `getSupportFragmentManager()` since you have `import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;`

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
