How to put Tablayout with ViewPager inside a fragment which is belong to a navigation drawer

I am trying to develop an app that has a navigation drawer and inside one of the fragments of that drawer I want to put a Tablayout with ViewPager in it. Everything seem to work fine but there is a problem. Here is my navigation drawer:
When I first start the app, it show me the home fragment with 3 tabs in it like this.
Each tab has only one text in it. The first tab has "search", 2nd tab has "cart" and 3rd tab has "history". When I switch to another fragment of the navigation and switch back to home, I realized the word "search" in 1st tab is not showing up.
I swiped to the 2nd tab and the same thing happened but the 3rd tab still show the word "history". I swiped back to 1st tab and the word "search" is shown but the word in 2nd tab is never shown again despite how many times I swipe back and forth.
So I decided to put Log.d() inside of the method onCreate and onCreateView for every tab fragment to see what is going on. When the app first open, it show home fragment with 3 tabs like I said before but only the onCreate and onCreateView of the 1st and 2nd tab was invoked. When I swipe to second tab, onCreate and onCreateView of 3rd tab is invoked. I swipe to 3rd tab and nothing happen, but when I swipe back to 2nd tab from 3rd tab, onCreateView of 1st tab is invoked.
After that I switch to another fragment of navigation drawer and switch back to home. None of the onCreate and onCreateView method of any tab is invoked so nothing show up. I swipe to 2nd tab, still nothing. But when I swipe to 3rd tab, method onCreate and onCreateView is invoked and the word "history" show up. I swipe back to 2nd tab, onCreateView of 1st tab is invoked instead of 2nd tab so there is nothing on 2nd tab then I swipe to 1st tab, the word "search" show up, no method is invoked. After that, each time I when I swipe from 1st tab to 2nd tab, onCreateView of 3rd tab is invoked and when I swipe from 3rd tab to 2nd tab, onCreateView of 1st tab is invoked. I don't know what cause this behaviour, please help me. Here are the codes:

I also had such a mistake.
Use getChildFragmentManager() instead of getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager()

getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById() returns null even though fragment exists

I have a fragment_main.xml inside an activity_main.xml.
The fragment is added inside a Tabbed Activity created from an Android Studio template.
I want to do a change in the Fragment's view from within the Activity. That's why I created an Interface that allows the Fragment to call the Activity during the Fragment's onStart, when I know that the Fragment's view is available for modifications.
I did get this to work if I pass the actual Fragment instance using my interface callback. But I'm still frustrated because I don't understand why this function returns null. Does this have anything to do with reusing fragments in different screen orientations?
I've looked over similar questions here on SO reported with this function returning null. Somebody mentioned that there might be an issue with using import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; as opposed to just android.app.Fragment. I don't think this is my case because getsupportFragmentManager seems to return the correct type of Fragment (v4.app). I have no idea why the v4.app is there, I'm kinda new to all this.
Anyway here's the code, all of it, including imports, because they might be relevant.

First of all, you're using findFragmentById wrong, passing id of root layout of your fragment as a parameter, when it expects an id of a layout that contains your fragment (not layout inside a fragment!)
FragmentPagerAdapter is kinda tricky and getting current fragment is not straightforward. Check this answer:
Getting the current Fragment instance in the viewpager
Replace your:
PlaceholderFragment fragment = (PlaceholderFragment)(getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.main_audio_view));
//FRAGMENT IS NULL!
with
PlaceholderFragment page = (PlaceholderFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("android:switcher:" +
R.id.container + ":" + mViewPager.getCurrentItem());

I would try the following, but I'm sure it's not the nicest solution.
I would pass the value of section_number instead of the PlaceholderFragment and get the fragment from the SectionPageAdapter. Something like this:
public void onFragmentReady(int position)
{
this.getIntent().putExtra(AUDIO_FILE_NAME,AUDIO_FILE_NAME);
audioFile = this.getIntent().getStringExtra(AUDIO_FILE_NAME);
PlaceholderFragment fragment = (PlaceholderFragment)mSectionsPagerAdapter.getItem(position);
fragment.setNowPlayingText(audioFile);
}

Starting new fragment from mainactivity

I read a lot of questions here, but I didn't get a proper solution for my problem. I have a MainActivity java class, and I have several activities in for my app. Now, I created a "Tabbed activity" automatically in Android Studio. I do have a Imagebutton which I use for opening a new fragment. This new fragment is called "Generaldiscription". I learned, that a fragment can't be started like an activity, I need to use FragmentManagener to get a fragment open. My app starts, but when I click on the imagebutton, where actually my fragment should start, the app crashes.
In the following, you can see my mainactivity.java, and the fragments as java and as xml. Thank you in anticipation.
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
final ImageButton generaldiscriptionbutton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageButton);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
checkFirstRun();
generaldiscriptionbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
Generaldiscription fragment = new Generaldiscription();
fm.beginTransaction().add(R.id.main_content, ); // don't know what to write here.
}
});

Start your fragment this way:
FragmentManager fragmentmanager = getFragmentManager();
fragmentmanager.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.main_content
, new Generaldiscription())
.commit();
EDIT
In your case you should start you Generaldiscription like this:
Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Generaldiscription.class);
MainActivity.this.startActivity(myIntent);
What is more, your GeneralDiscription should import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; instead of android.app.Fragment;

From the Documentation
FragmentTransaction add (int containerViewId,
Fragment fragment,
String tag)
Add a fragment to the activity state. This fragment may optionally
also have its view (if Fragment.onCreateView returns non-null)
inserted into a container view of the activity.
Parameters
containerViewId int: Optional identifier of the container this fragment is to be placed in. If 0, it will not be placed in a
container.
fragment Fragment: The fragment to be added. This fragment must not already be added to the activity.
tag String: Optional tag name for the fragment, to later retrieve the fragment with
FragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(String).
so in your code write:
FragmentManager manager = getSupportFragmentManager();
Generaldiscription fragment = new Generaldiscription();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.add(R.id.main_content,fragment,"Tag");
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit();
And in your Generaldiscription Fragment:
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; //make sure you import the support package
public class Generaldiscription extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.Your_layout, container, false);
return view;
}
}

Declare in your fragment like this
public interface OnClickListener {
void onClick();
}
private final OnClickListener listener;
In your button click listener add this
if(listener!=null){
listener.onclick();
}
In your Activity, implements this listener and add this to the fragment
than you can hide current fragment and show second fragment in onClick method in Activity

TABS Are not displayed in Fragment

I am not able to understand why the main fragment is not showing the tabs. My code does not have any errors, its just when I click a item in navigation drawer its not displaying the fragment with tabs.

BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THIS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR PROJECT AS I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS!!!
INSIDE COORDINATORLAYOUT
Before the fragment_container I want you to place a FrameLayout, make sure it's layout_height is wrap_content. I want you to make it's id equal to realtabcontent. I want you to add the attribute layout_weight to fragment_container and make it equal to 1.
I want you to delete fragment main layout, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF THIS PROJECT!!!
INSIDE MAINFRAGMENT
I want you to change onCreateView to:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mTabHost = new FragmentTabHost(getActivity());
mTabHost.setup(getActivity(), getChildFragmentManager(), R.id.realtabcontent);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("fragmentc").setIndicator("Fragment C"), MovieFragment.class, null);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("fragmentb").setIndicator("Fragment B"), GalleryFragment.class, null);

Android setText Causes Force Close

I'm developing Android app with fragment. If I add setText in MainActivity.java inside onCreateView method, I will get Force Close error when running the app.

How to add setText method correctly?

You are trying to access your fragment layout's textView R.id.result in the onCreate() of your activity, which at that point might not even exist. Try setting the value of your textView in the fragment class itself.
public class YourFragmentClass extends Fragment
{
TextView textView;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
textView =(TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.result);
textView.setText("weewoufzklfo");
return view;
}
}
Take a look at fragment lifecycle with respect to Activity lifecycle here.
