When I have run into this error, it is because I am calling something on a fragment that no longer exists (e.g., destroyed in a configuration change). > According to the documentation I should use commitAllowingStateLoss due to > the onSaveInstanceState being called.

You should not need to do that, as you can call getActivity() from any Fragment. > From the activity I call getSupportFragmentManager in order to perform the > FragmentTransaction. How is the activity becoming null? Based on your description here, it is not becoming null. You would have a NullPointerException if it were null. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 4.0 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
