Fragment tab not attached to a context

I'm currently making a soundboard app on android studio which has a ton of fragments. The first page on my tab layout is just a normal button view, but my second tabView has another fragmentView within it. The goal is for the first page to just show some normal sounds, and the second tab to have multiple operators to choose specific soundboards for.
Anyways, the app seems to work fine. I can switch from the main tab to the operator tab, and even select operator soundboard pages and be moved to their fragments. However as soon as I try to switch fragments (through my tabview) my app crashes and I get the error:
"Fragment operatorTab{4623fc9} (312d4e58-458c-4f47-8fa3-794fe15f0536)} not attached to a context."**

Try to remove the ViewTreeObserver.OnScrollChangedListener when the fragment is destroyed this will avoid any listener that can be attached to a destroyed fragment context not to be triggered whenever you leave and come back to this fragment.
First: make a global field for the listener
public class operatorTab extends Fragment {
...
ViewTreeObserver.OnScrollChangedListener mScrollListener = new ViewTreeObserver.OnScrollChangedListener() {
#Override
public void onScrollChanged() {
resetAllButtons();
}
};
Then set the listener wit the created field
private void scrollResetListener(){
scrollView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnScrollChangedListener(mScrollListener);
}
Then remove the listener.. I believe it's typically should be in onDestroyView() >> but also try it in onStop() or onPause if it didn't work
This also will solve memory leak of this listener whenever its callback is triggered after the Fragment's view is destroyed
#Override
public void onDestroyView() {
super.onDestroyView();
scrollView.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnScrollChangedListener(mScrollListener);
}
UPDATE
onStop()/onPause() worked for me
The reason that it didn't work with onDestroyView() because the OperatorTab fragment is a part of one of the ViewPager pages; and by default ViewPager loads a number of close pages in the background to be ready for the next page scroll; loading this pages include some of the fragment lifecycle callbacks like onCreateView, onStart, but not onResume.
When you leave the OperatorTab by scrolling the ViewPager to the next tab/page; onDestroyView() won't be created if the ViewPager decides that OperatorTab is a part of the cached/close pages that the user might return back to it later; and therefore the listener still there and after a few swipes of the pager, the OperatorTab fragment can be detached from the context leaving the listener there with memory leaks...
So, the best way in ViewPager fragment (or any View that loads its fragments in advance) is to stop any listeners once you leave the page, i.e. in onPause or onStop callbacks and not waiting until they are destroyed.

A possible reason for this error is that you are calling getResources() NOT in an Activity without using a context. So, you need to use context.getResources() instead where context may be one of these here . In you instance, I think getContext() will work.
So, I think you should search for all the times you are calling getResources and see if you are using a context or not.
The explanation for this error in a simple way is that you are trying to access the context required in getResources() before the fragment is instantiated.

Fragment Does Not Appear In Android

I recently learned about Fragments in Android and was building a notepad application to practice them.
Idea: The idea behind the app is simple. I press the button to add a new note. A CardView Viewgroup turns visible. The fragment will be housed within this CardView.
Problem: When I press the button to add a new note, the fragment does not pop up.

Could anyone check why the fragment isn't popping up? Thanks for the help, guys.
P.S.: I think that the application might become a little bloated because of all the ViewGroups that I'm using. If you guys have a better way to design this, by all means, I would love any input.

When I press the button to add a new note, the fragment does not pop up.
This is expected since your button doesn't know what to do when pressed.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
setActionBar();
newNoteButton = findViewById(R.id.new_note_button);
// Button will call activity's onClick whenever it's clicked
newNoteButton.setOnClickListener(this);
fragmentCardView = findViewById(R.id.fragment_cardView);
}

Fragment transaction from activity not working

So i have a main activity that commits the transaction of a fragment that inflates the activity with an image view just like a main cover, and with the button "Sign up" that takes you to the signUp activity. However, all of that does work like it shoulds, the transaction works and the inflater does too, but the problem comes when:
I am trying to call a fragment (signUpForm) from the activity (signUp). The root of the problem is that the fragment transaction to signUpForm is not working because the toast programmed on it is not showing, so it does not even get to the inflater.
signUp class:
package com.example.joshumberto.workcon;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class signUp extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_sign_up);
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.sign_up_container, new signUpForm(), "signUpForm").commit();
}
}

Ideas? Thanks.

You should try replace() method instead of add(). like this.
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.sign_up_container, new signUpForm(), "signUpForm").commit();

OnItemClick redirects to blank screen?

The issue I am running into is that when I click the specific listview item to go to the specific animal, all it shows is a blank page. I'm not really sure why though, but I have a strong feeling it has something to do with the way I am writing the OnItemClickListener and OnItemClick or how it is passing the intent to the specific.java class? I've done just about everything I can think of (I've been working in android for about three weeks) to resolve this, outside of trying to rewrite the OnItemClickListener section. Any tips in the right direction are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
I get the following messages repeatedly when clicking the listitem
W/ViewRootImpl: Cancelling event due to no window focus: MotionEvent...
E/Surface: getSlotFromBufferLocked: unknown buffer: 0xb40d53a0

Try to define some textview with random text in spesific class.. or something like Toast, to prove that spesific class is running or not.

Android Studio - App Crashes

How can I change or add more code to make this app to stop crashing? This activity is called "WhatBin", I simply wanted to make a button listen to when a person would click and change a text view. (VIEW PICTURES BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.)

public class WhatBin extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_what_bin);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
final TextView txt_answer = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt_answer);
Button btn_go = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_go);
btn_go.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
txt_answer.setText("Marker - Recycle Bin");
}
});
};
}

UPDATE
You are currently using abc_dialog_material_background_dark as textcolor. As you can see in the source of this resource, it is basically a shape. And, shape cannot be used for textcolor.
In your XML file at line 17 you have used a color. That color is of wrong type. My guess, you have used a drawable instead of a color.
Post your activity_what_bin.xml for further explanation.
