java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No view found for id 0x7f090047 ("project name":id/content) for fragment FmMenu

Hello!

Just wanted to share an issue that I have with a project that I am doing for a client.

Been trying to find a solution to this problem:

if (fragment != null) {
            FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
            fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
                    .replace(R.id.linear, fragment).commit();

            // update selected item and title, then close the drawer
            mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
            mDrawerList.setSelection(position);
            setTitle(navMenuTitles[position]);
            mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
        } else {
            // error in creating fragment
            Log.e("BunBunUp", "MenuActivity - Error cuando se creo el fragment");

It would let me run the app and indeed it did. But whenever I enter to my IntroActivityand press the button to take me to MenuActivity, it crashes.

Here is the error log:

Thanks for the reply! I was able to find an alternative solution by replacing linearto containerand adding android:id="@+id/containerto the LinearLayoutof my activity_menu.xml.

Although its good to learn new stuff like doing a cleanup and rebuilding R.javawhich I didn't know about it. One thing I would ask, is it ok to do those procedures just to have a cleaner project or is it better to mess with it when there is only an issue that requires those type of procedures?
