title: SherlockListFragment Error Inflating Class Fragment Android API 8 - 10
body: <p>Often the issue when inflating a fragment in API 8 - 10 is that the API 11+ import is used instead of utilizing the Android Support V4 import.</p>
  
  <p>In my case, I'm utilizing a SherlockListFragment that my class extends. It's my understanding that ABS (Action Bar Sherlock) includes the V4 support library, and therefore, you simply import ABS and it should be backwards compatible to API 8 - 10.</p>
  
  <p>I have found however that I continually get an "Error Inflating Class Fragment" on API 8 - 10, when the app works flawlessly on API 11+ emulators and devices.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an obvious explanation I might be overlooking here? Any ideas would be appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>*EDIT: FIXED - the Error Inflating Class Fragment was caused by a NullPointerException, this was not the main error, but a secondary cause of the null value. Oops.</p>
