Struggling with Youtube Player Support Fragment

Question

Im trying to use the Youtube Player Support Fragment in a fragment but the app always crash (NullPointerException) and I have not been able to find any similar post to fix it. I have import import android.support.v4.app.Fragment so that should not be the problem. This is how my fragment class looks like: ``` package com.example.activitydetector; import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubeBaseActivity; import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubeInitializationResult; import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayer; import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener; import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayer.Provider; import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerFragment; import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerSupportFragment; import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView; import systemManager.SystemManager; import android.app.Activity; import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter; import android.os…

I ran into this problem before and I believe the issue stemmed from trying to inflate the `YouTubePlayerSupportFragment` layout. I solved my issue by creating a fragment like this:

```
public class PlayerYouTubeFrag extends YouTubePlayerSupportFragment {
    private String currentVideoID = "video_id";
    private YouTubePlayer activePlayer;

public static PlayerYouTubeFrag newInstance(String url) {
        PlayerYouTubeFrag playerYouTubeFrag = new PlayerYouTubeFrag();

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
        bundle.putString("url", url);

playerYouTubeFrag.setArguments(bundle);

return playerYouTubeFrag;
    }

private void init() {
        initialize(DeveloperKey.DEVELOPER_KEY, new OnInitializedListener() {

@Override
            public void onInitializationFailure(Provider arg0, YouTubeInitializationResult arg1) { 
            }

@Override
            public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubePlayer player, boolean wasRestored) {
                activePlayer = player;
                activePlayer.setPlayerStyle(YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle.DEFAULT);
                if (!wasRestored) {
                    activePlayer.loadVideo(getArguments().getString("url"), 0);

}
            }
        });
    }

@Override
    public void onYouTubeVideoPaused() {
        activePlayer.pause();
    }
}
```

And then call an instance of the fragment like this:

```
PlayerYouTubeFrag myFragment = PlayerYouTubeFrag.newInstance("video_id");
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.video_container, myFragment).commit();
```

Where `video_container` in my case was an empty frame layout.
