        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        recyclerView =(RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.recyclerview);

}

Trying to achieve Expandable Recyclerview

Error:(34, 37) error: cannot find symbol method findViewById(int)


Solution

  • findViewById is not a Fragment method so it cannot be resolved in its onCreate. You cannot do like in an Activity.

    You have to use it in your onCreateView or onViewCreated methods, and you have to call it on the view you inflated.

    For example:

    @Override
    public void onViewCreated(View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
        //you can set the title for your toolbar here for different fragments different titles
        getActivity().setTitle("Syllabus");
    
        recyclerView =(RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.recyclerview);
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity()));
    
        adapter adapter =new adapter(getActivity(),initData());
        adapter.setParentClickableViewAnimationDefaultDuration();
        adapter.setParentAndIconExpandOnClick(true);
    
        recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter)
    }
    

    Or..

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        //returning our layout file
        //change R.layout.yourlayoutfilename for each of your fragments
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_sy, container, false);
    
        recyclerView =(RecyclerView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.recyclerview);
    
         ...
        return rootView;
    }
