    Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=8; index=8 at java.util.Arrays$ArrayList.get(Arrays.java:3769) at me.solo_team.futureleader.ui.news.NewsFragment.onCreateView(NewsFragment.java:62)
    Here’s the real reason for the crash ^

    It seems to me that your

    for(int i =0;i<9;i++){
            addElement(uris.get(i),names.get(i));
        }

    tries to get an item that is out of bounds.
    It should be i<8, because while your list seems to have 8 entries (length = 8 in the exception), they start at 0 (0,1,2…6,7 for a total of 8 entries), so i=8 and i=9 will be out of bounds.

    You could also set i<uris.size(), that should also prevent crashing if the length of your uris and names lists are the same

    Crashes of this type are often misleading, as you’re only seeing the most recent (or least recent) exception in LogCat.

    Whenever I encounter a bug that causes an app crash, I INTENTIONALLY ignore the first crash and repeat the previous behavior to trigger a second crash. Then suddenly, LogCat reports the exception completely differently, typically pointed at the correct source of the error. Yes, it’s the very definition of insanity, as you’re repeating the same behavior, but getting different results. But this is Android. Insanity comes baked in.
