Android App NullPointer Exception Help

harleyquin

The is the code for my android app it is a app that demonstrates how to communicate with multiple fragments in one activity. But the textview in the text fragment is not being updated after an item of the listview is selected. The textview should update when an item in the listview is selected but it is not updating, it is crashing now. I think it is a nullpointer exception after commenting out the if( !=null), the listener.OnFragmentInteraction does not get the index, it says that the listener points to null, I'm learning from an older video series and some things were depreciated, seeking help please thanks.
