I’m trying to use fragments to not burden my application with too many activities.
In my mainActivity there is a map, I then created a fragment where there are editText fields, I would like to use these editText to insert numbers to be used as parameters to pass to a function created in another class called navFun.
I tried to write the code but I don’t understand why I get these errors when using findViewById:
Unresolved reference: findViewById
this is my fragment code

You must create your view first and than call findViewById on that view.
