Adding Gridview to fragment it's crashing - android-fragments

Question

I'm following a tutorial and trying to build in a grid view into my fragment and every time I launch the app it crashes. I opened up LogCat and it gives me nothing... Can someone help me find out what I can do to get this to display correctly and not crash the app? Thank you!!!
Below I've included my Main Activity, GridView Adapter and Fragment...
MainActivity

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mNavigationDrawerFragment = (NavigationDrawerFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.navigation_drawer);
// Set the first title
mTitle = "Inventory";
// Set up the drawer.
mNavigationDrawerFragment.setUp(
R.id.navigation_drawer,
(DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout));
// Remove shadow under actionbar
getSupportActionBar().setElevation(0);
}
#Override
public void onNavigationDrawerItemSelected(int position) {
Fragment objFragment = null;
switch (position) {
case 0:

if (!mNavigationDrawerFragment.isDrawerOpen()) {
// Only show items in the action bar relevant to this screen

getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
restoreActionBar();
return true;

return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);

Inventory_Fragment --- I Feel like the problem is in here but I'm not sure.
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.GridView;
/**
* Created by kenbarlow on 5/19/15.
*/
public class Inventory_Fragment extends Fragment {
View rootView;
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.inventory_layout, container, false);
GridView gridview = (GridView) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.gridview);
gridview.setAdapter(new GridViewAdapter(this));
return rootView;
}
}

Answer 1

I guess your are trying to find a gridview in the activity's layout, which is wrong because the gridview is in the Fragment's layout.
Please change in your fragment code:
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.inventory_layout, container, false);
GridView gridview = (GridView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.gridview);
if(gridview != null){
gridview.setAdapter(new GridViewAdapter(getActivity()));
}
return rootView;
}
If it's not the cause of the problem, please post a stacktrace when the crash happen (it should have already been done).

Answer 2

I have not looked at all the code yet. I reviewed GridViewAdapter and Inventory_Fragment.
Remove getItemId method in GridViewAdapter. You don't use it anyway. It is possible that the BaseAdapter is referencing it, and returning it null from that method may crash the adapter.
Code suggestion, return an item for this method:
#Override
public Object getItem(int position){
return icons[position];
}

Answer 3

LogCat and it gives me nothing...
if literally nothing, try to reset LogCat.
as i see in these lines
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.inventory_layout, container, false);
GridView gridview = (GridView) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.gridview);
you are inflating and makeing rootView to find your inner layouts. so instead of getActivity() in second line use your rootView.
and remember to put your gridView layout inside inventory_layout

Answer 4

I am not sure if it is the only issue or not, but this one looks a bit wrong.
In your Inventory_Fragment class:
gridview.setAdapter(new GridViewAdapter(this));
You should change it to this:
gridview.setAdapter(new GridViewAdapter(getActivity()));
Also please upload your layouts and/or logcat report here. It is hard to go through the code like this.
