Here is my code.

public class edit_profile_project_Fragment extends Fragment {
View rootview;


private  int year_P,month_P,day_P;
TextView txtfromdate;
TextView txttodate;
static final  int DIALOG_ID=0;
private SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter;
//private TextView txtfromdate;
static String value = "Hello";
int id = 0;

public void setTextViewText(String value){
    Log.d("kissu", value);
    TextView txtfromdate = (TextView) this.getView().findViewById(this.id);
    txtfromdate.setText(value);
    // this.value = value;
}
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    rootview = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_edit_profile_it_project, container, false);
    this.id = R.id.txtfromdate;
    //initializing textfield
    txtfromdate = (TextView) rootview.findViewById(R.id.txtfromdate);

    txtfromdate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            getActivity().showDialog(DIALOG_ID);
            Log.d("nnn666", value);
            txtfromdate.setText("pravin");
            Log.d("nnn777", value);
        }

    });

    txttodate = (TextView) rootview.findViewById(R.id.txttodate);

    txttodate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
         /*   ((afterlogin) getActivity()).showDialogOnClick(txttodate);*/
        }
    });

    return rootview;
}

}

This is my fragment_edit_profile_it_project.xml code

means txtfromdate is null,you should specify view id manally,

TextView txtfromdate = (TextView) this.getView().findViewById(this.id);

you set this.id=0,and you dont't have a TextView with id 0,so please check your view,maybe you want this:

TextView txtfromdate = (TextView) this.getView().findViewById(R.id.txtfromdate);

Try this:

public class edit_profile_project_Fragment extends Fragment {

private  int year_P,month_P,day_P;
TextView txtfromdate;
TextView txttodate;
static final  int DIALOG_ID=0;
private SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter;
private TextView txtfromdate;
static String value = "Hello";

public void setTextViewText(String value){
    Log.d("kissu", value);
    txtfromdate.setText(value);
    // this.value = value;
}

@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View rootview = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_edit_profile_it_project, container, false);
    //initializing textfield
    txtfromdate = (TextView) rootview.findViewById(R.id.txtfromdate);

    txtfromdate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            getActivity().showDialog(DIALOG_ID);
            Log.d("nnn666", value);
            txtfromdate.setText("pravin");
            Log.d("nnn777", value);
        }

    });

    txttodate = (TextView) rootview.findViewById(R.id.txttodate);

    txttodate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
         /*   ((afterlogin) getActivity()).showDialogOnClick(txttodate);*/
        }
    });

    return rootview;
}

I just removed this line from setTextViewText(String value) method: TextView txtfromdate = (TextView) this.getView().findViewById(this.id); — Blunderer, Jan 05 '16 at 10:52
Can you show us the R.layout.fragment_edit_profile_it_project file ? please :) — Blunderer, Jan 05 '16 at 11:03
The line 41 is this line, isn't it? txtfromdate.setText("pravin"); — Blunderer, Jan 05 '16 at 11:26
currently i am passing static text as pravin, actually i wanted to pass "string value", as-txtfromdate.setText(value); — Pravin Kadam, Jan 05 '16 at 11:42
