How to call a fragment from a Fragment using in a Navigation Drawer project

I have a Navigation Drawer project with several fragment. In one case I need to call a fragment from another fragment. But I am getting the error below.

How can I remove the default button of a fragment?

I'm developing an app with many fragments and each fragment has a button by default in the top-left corner. When I press that small button nothing happens. How can I remove it?
Thanks!
I didn't try anything, but I was thinking that I have to remove the onButtonPressed method, but I'm not sure

Here is the error. As you can see, the word BlankFragment is in red

You're missing the newInstance() method in the ShooksFragment,
Add this method and please report back.
// TODO: Rename and change types and number of parameters
public static ShooksFragment newInstance() {
ShooksFragment fragment = new ShooksFragment();
return fragment;

EDIT :
Since you want to load ShooksFragment inside MainActivity, you can simply make an object of the ShooksFragment and load that fragment using the fragment manager.

Static created fragment in FrameLayout

I trying to load a static created fragment (right mause, add, fragment, blank fragment) in a framelayout. The app allways crashes....
When i do Fragment fr = new Fragment; and load the fr into the FrameLayout the app don't crash.....
The created Fragment is still default.
The code i use to load the fragment into the Framelayout is:
BlankFragment foo= new BlankFragment();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.fr_overview, foo).commit();
This is my framelayout:
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="380dp"
android:layout_below="#id/ll_overview"
android:id="#+id/fr_overview">
</FrameLayout>
I know there are a lot of questions simular like this but i cant find a question which uses "static created fragments" (maybee better described by a Fragment Activity ?)

How to use Android FragmentPagerAdapter with MapView

I'm pretty new to Android programming so pardon my noobness.

Your advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

You should use a MapFragment, rather than a subclass of regular Fragment. If you'd like, you can have your BasicMapFragment class extend MapFragment so that you can customize it's behavior.
