how to call a ListFragment fragment from a fragment class

Question

this the FragmentA calling another ListFragment class called FilesManage but this giving me error that f1 is incompatible type in transaction.replace(R.id.layout, f1); in FragmentA

public class FragmentA extends Fragment implements OnClickListener {

public FragmentA() {

}

//@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_fileexplorer, container, false);
}




@Override
  public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
    Button bt=(Button)getActivity().findViewById(R.id.skipButton);
    bt.setOnClickListener(this);
  }

@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    //Toast.makeText(getActivity(),"Turned on" ,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    FilesManage f1=new FilesManage();
    android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager manager =getFragmentManager();
    FragmentTransaction transaction=manager.beginTransaction();
    transaction.replace(R.id.layout, f1);
    transaction.commit();
    }
}

//ListFragment.

public class FilesManage extends ListFragment {

public FilesManage() {
    // Required empty public constructor
}

File currentDir;
FileArrayAdapter adapter;

@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
    fill();

}

public void fill() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

You have said :

this giving me error that f1 is incompatible type in transaction.replace(R.id.layout, f1); in FragmentA

Last time I had this problem, it was just due to my imports, please check them, if you use import android.app.ListFragment; into your FilesManage class it can leads to an incompatibility because your FragmentManager is part of android.support.v4.app.*. In this case just use import android.support.v4.app.ListFragment;.
