            case 0:
                return new InboxFragment();
            case 1:
                return new FriendsFragment();
        }
        return null;

Hey Alejandro!

This means that you haven't gave your ListView its ListView name!

Open up your Inbox Fragment xml file and make sure its android:id is set to android.R.id.list and you should be good to go!

I don't know where you are up to in the course but, if your Friends Fragment is also using a ListView (and not a GridView), you should also make the same change in the corresponding Friends Fragment xml file.

Hope it helps!

I had this same issue. Mine was caused by a typo:

android:id="@android:id/list"

I had left off the android:id portion.

Thank you for posting this answer.
