Load a Listview In a Fragment using Tabs (Actionbarsherlock) - android-listview

Question

I have a main activity (FragmentDemoActivity) which creates 2 tabs. Fragment A and Fragment B.
I have another class called CategoryList which loads a customlist from an sqlite database.
I am using this example which works great for the TAB parts.
I want to load the CategoryList into the Fragment A.
My CategoryList class is as follows
// All the imports
public class CategoryList extends BaseActivity{
ImageView imgFeedback;
ImageView imgAbout;
ListView listCategories;
ProgressBar prgLoading;
TextView txtAlert;
AdView ads;
static String[] CategoryName ;
ListAdapter la;
static int[] id;
List<String> catList;
static DBHelper dbhelper;
class ListAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private LayoutInflater inflater;
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
private Context ctx;
public ListAdapter(Context context) {
inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
ctx = context;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return CategoryName.length;
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return position;
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
if(convertView == null){
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row, null);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.imgPreview = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.imgPreview);
holder.txtRecipeName = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.txtRecipeName);
convertView.setTag(holder);
}else{
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
holder.imgPreview.setImageResource(getResources().
getIdentifier(CategoryName[position], "drawable", getPackageName()));
String categoryName = CategoryName[position];
categoryName = categoryName.toLowerCase();
categoryName = Character.toString(categoryName.charAt(0)).toUpperCase()+categoryName.substring(1);
holder.txtRecipeName.setText(categoryName);
return convertView;
}
class ViewHolder {
ImageView imgPreview;
TextView txtRecipeName;
}
}
final Context context = this ;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.categories_list);
AppRater.displayAsk2Rate(this, 1, 1, false);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
dbhelper = new DBHelper(this);
try {
dbhelper.createDataBase();
}catch(IOException ioe){
throw new Error("Unable to create database");
}
/** then, the database will be open to use */
try{
dbhelper.openDataBase();
}catch(SQLException sqle){
throw sqle;
}
CategoryName = dbhelper.getAllCategories();
dbhelper.close();
catList = Arrays.asList(CategoryName);
/* imgAbout = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imgAbout);
imgAbout.setOnClickListener(new ButtonListner(CategoryList.this));
imgFeedback = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imgFeedback);
imgFeedback.setOnClickListener(new ButtonListner(CategoryList.this));*/
listCategories = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listCategories);
la = new ListAdapter(CategoryList.this);
listCategories.setAdapter(la);
txtAlert = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtAlert);
ads = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.ads);
Ads.loadAds(ads);
listCategories.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapter, View view, int position, long id) {
String category = catList.get(position);
Intent i = new Intent(CategoryList.this, RecipesList.class);
i.putExtra("Category_Name", category);
startActivity(i);
}
});
}
}
My FragmentA is as follows
public class FragmentA extends Fragment {
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle saved)
{
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.categories_list, container, false);
ListView listCategories = (ListView) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.listCategories);
ListAdapter lav = new ListAdapter(CategoryList.this);
listCategories.setAdapter(lav);
return view;
}
#Override
public void onActivityCreated (Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
}
}
Any pointers ?
