8,534 PointsI don't understand the question
"We have a Button (mDeleteButton) in our Fragment class below. Set it to the button in the layout with the ID of 'deleteButton'."
What should I do instead of what I did? Please explain
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Button;
public class PhotoFragment extends Fragment {
public Button mDeleteButton;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mDeleteButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.deleteButton);
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_photo, container, false);
return rootView;
}
}
import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements ActionBar.TabListener {
public static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
@Override
public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
@Override
public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
@Override
public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
}

19,746 PointsDoes your onCreateView look like below?
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_photo, container, false);
mDeleteButton = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.deleteButton);
return rootView;

19,746 PointsYou need to call findViewById() from the View rootView. In your case you need to move the Button assignment below View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_photo, container, false); and then call mDeleteButton = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.deleteButton);
