I've got my `MainTabbedActivity.xml` which holds a `Fragment.xml`.
`Fragment.xml` holds a `ListView`.
`ListView` gets populated with an array of `CustomView.xml`.
`CustomView.xml` holds a `TextView` which I wanna pass a string to.

So it's like:

```
MainTabbedActivity.xml
-Fragment.xml
--CustomView.xml

```

I create the new CustomViews inside of `Fragment.java` and populate the `ListView` with them. This is working fine. But as soon as I try to find my `TextView` to set the Text, it crashes because it is `NULL`. I'm pretty new to Android, but after a day of googleing it looks like I'm passing the wrong context. I just don't know how to get the right one.

This is how I pass the context in `Fragment.java`:

```
customView newCV = new customView (getActivity.getApplicationContext());
newCV.setName("HELLO");

```

Here's what my `CustomView.java` looks like, including the line where it returns null:

```
public class customView extends FrameLayout{

    String name;
    //Views
    TextView userNameToSet;

    public String getName(){
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name){
        this.name = name;
    }

    public customView(Context context){
        super(context);

        userNameToSet = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.userName); //this always returns NULL...
        userNameToSet.setText(getName()); //...and this crashes because of it
    }

}

```

Thanks for any help :)

EDIT: Here is the `Fragment.java` which creates the CustomViews

```
    public class StatusFragment extends Fragment {
        ListView listView;
