ArrayList get method causes app to be crashed

I am inflating the menu from JSON which contain its name and id. I had written Fragment5 which is used to be calling an URL for JSON. In that url I want to call the id of the menu.
This is my code. The code is running fine if I am commenting the two line
String scat = menu_nms.get(0);
int cat = Integer.parseInt(scat);

Perhaps you get exception during JSON parsing. You may surround Integer.parseInt(scat); with try- catch catching ParsingException if Json has no such a field.
But more neat solution is to use GSON with Retrofit, so you can automatically parse you response to java objects, created by jsonschema2pojo.com

Regarding the Model-View-Controller approach, all you need to do is create a model with the data that matches your search and hand it tho the view (your list view) that will display it.

You probably want a setOnQueryTextListener which can filter your results when text is written in SearchView.
There is an existing post explaining this quite well, Implementing SearchView in action bar.

SearchFragment extends ListFragment. In a ListFragment, getListView() cannot be called in onCreateView(), because onCreateView() is creating the fragment's content view and has not yet completed. The call to getListView() in SearchFragment is the cause of the exception.
Move the the call to getListView() and related to code to one of the fragment lifecycle methods that is called after onCreateView(), such as onViewCreated() or onActivityCreate(). For example:
#Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
ListView lv = getListView();
// Listview on item click listener
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// getting values from selected ListItem
String name = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.name))
.getText().toString();
String code = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.code))
.getText().toString();
// Starting single contact activity
Intent in = new Intent(getActivity().getApplicationContext(),
Details.class);
in.putExtra(TAG_NAME, name);
in.putExtra(TAG_CODE, code);
startActivity(in);
}
});

ListView in Fragment not displayed in MainActivity

Un comment the onCreate method in searchFragment because your fragment is not inflating any layout

Fragments can be put into a layout using FragmentManager.
Add replace onCreate of your MainActivity with following.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fts = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
Fragment fragment = new SearchFragment();
String fragmentTag = "SearchFragment";
fts.add(R.id.main_container, fragment, fragmentTag);
fts.commit();
}
Change your layout_activity_main.xml to following. You don't need a listview here. Just make sure you have a layout container main_container to place your fragment in.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<FrameLayout android:id="#+id/main_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
</FrameLayout>
<!-- Main ListView
Always give id value as list(#android:id/list)
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:divider="#null"/>
-->
</LinearLayout>

I think your problem is caused by Jason parsing.
private static final String TAG_CODING_SYSTEM = "codingSystem";
Jason key is case sensitive. But please try to debug by yourself next time, it's the only way to become a better coder. Cheers!

I am trying to change the url for json parsing in my app on every click of option in settings menu

When the code is run it loads news only of india even after selecting another option in the Settings Menu. Can someone please tell me the error?

You should call update() in onResume instead onStart
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
update();
}
