ListView doesn't work in Fragment

Question

List View doesn't work in Fragment.

Fragment.java

public class Fragment_Main extends Fragment{
ArrayAdapter<String> categoryAdapter;
ArrayList<String> categoryList = new ArrayList<String>();

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}

@Override
 public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
   Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     View View = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
     ListView list = (ListView) getView().findViewById(R.id.listView1);
     categoryAdapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, categoryList);
    list.setAdapter(categoryAdapter);
    showCategoryTask task=new showCategoryTask();
    task.execute();
        return View;
 }

 class showCategoryTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
            try {
                URL url = new URL("http://garyhui86.er-webs.com/index.xml");
                HttpURLConnection urlConn = 
                                     (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
                if (urlConn.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
                    DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory
                            .newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
                    Document document = builder.parse(urlConn.getInputStream());
                    NodeList nodeList = document.getElementsByTagName("Info");
                    for (int i = 0; i < nodeList.getLength(); i++) {
                        NamedNodeMap attributes=nodeList.item(i).getAttributes();
                        String category=attributes.getNamedItem("categoryName").getNodeValue();
                        Log.i("ttt", category);
                        categoryList.add(category);
                    }
                }
                urlConn.disconnect();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return null;
        }
        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
            super.onPostExecute(result);
            categoryAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

This lines causes trouble I guess:

 View View = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
 ListView list = (ListView) getView().findViewById(R.id.listView1);

Don't use the getView() method to find Views by Id. Use the inflated layout instead:

 View root = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
 ListView list = (ListView) root.findViewById(R.id.listView1);

The reason for this is getView() only returns the Fragments View if onCreateView has returned.

Answer 2

Use the inflated object to find the 'ListView'.

Do it like this:

'ListView list = (ListView) inflated_layout_object.findViewById(R.id.listView1);'

Here for you inflated_layout_object is View (which you have created).
