How can I do a fragmentTransaction in other class?

Question

I want create a class whose funtion is only do a fragmentTransaction but I have an error. My class is the next:

package net.elinformaticoenganchado.sergio.crossfighters.common;

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;

import net.elinformaticoenganchado.sergio.crossfighters.R;
import net.elinformaticoenganchado.sergio.crossfighters.statics.Main;

/**
 * @author Sergio Herrero Cruz <[email protected]>
 * @package net.elinformaticoenganchado.sergio.crossfighters.common
 */
public class FragmentsGoTo extends FragmentActivity{


    public void goToMainFragment() {
        Fragment fragment = new Main();
        FragmentTransaction ftConfig = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        ftConfig.replace(R.id.main_frame, fragment);
        ftConfig.commit();
    }
}

And I call to this function here:

package net.elinformaticoenganchado.sergio.crossfighters.configuration;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import net.elinformaticoenganchado.sergio.crossfighters.R;
import net.elinformaticoenganchado.sergio.crossfighters.common.FragmentsGoTo;
import net.elinformaticoenganchado.sergio.crossfighters.entity.Configuration;

/**
 * @author Sergio Herrero Cruz <[email protected]>
 */
public class ConfigurationEdit extends Fragment implements View.OnClickListener{

    EditText name;

    /**
     * @param inflater           The LayoutInflater object that can be used to inflate
     *                           any views in the fragment,
     * @param container          If non-null, this is the parent view that the fragment's
     *                           UI should be attached to.  The fragment should not add the view itself,
     *                           but this can be used to generate the LayoutParams of the view.
     * @param savedInstanceState If non-null, this fragment is being re-constructed
     *                           from a previous saved state as given here.
     * @return Return the View for the fragment's UI, or null.
     */
    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.configuration_edit, container, false);

        name = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.configuration_edit_name);
        Button save = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.configuration_edit_button);

        save.setOnClickListener(this);

        return view;
    }

    /**
     * Called when a view has been clicked.
     *
     * @param v The view that was clicked.
     */
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if (v.getId() == R.id.configuration_edit_button) {
            Configuration config = new Configuration(name.getText().toString());
            config.save();
            FragmentsGoTo fragmentsGoTo = new FragmentsGoTo();
            fragmentsGoTo.goToMainFragment();
        }
    }

}

They are simple class. But I have an error:

Process: net.elinformaticoenganchado.sergio.crossfighters, PID: 5116 java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{net.elinformaticoenganchado.sergio.crossfighters/net.elinformaticoenganchado.sergio.crossfighters.MainActivity}: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity.getSupportFragmentManager()' on a null object reference at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2416) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2476) at android.app.ActivityThread.-wrap11(ActivityThread.java) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1344) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:102) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:148) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5417) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:726) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:616) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity.getSupportFragmentManager()' on a null object reference at net.elinformaticoenganchado.sergio.crossfighters.common.FragmentsGoTo.goToMainFragment(FragmentsGoTo.java:19) at net.elinformaticoenganchado.sergio.crossfighters.MainActivity.onCreate(MainActivity.java:42) at android.app.Activity.performCreate(Activity.java:6237) at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(Instrumentation.java:1107) at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2369) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2476) at android.app.ActivityThread.-wrap11(ActivityThread.java) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1344) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:102) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:148) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5417) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:726) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:616)

So how can i this in java without errors.

Thank you.

Edit: Add mainActivity class:

Please show the code for your MainActivity class - specially the onCreate method. This can help figure out why you are getting a NullPointerException. — ishmaelMakitla
In your goToMainFragment() - could you try and do: getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager() instead of just getSupportFragmentManager() - see if this helps. — ishmaelMakitla
This is not the way to instantiate the activity (calling new). Google a bit, use intents. You need an activity which HOLDS the fragments, and then to swap the fragments in it. — Vucko

Since my comment helped fix:

How can I do a fragmentTransaction in other class?
