Your issue is here:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <FrameLayout
            android:id="@+id/fragmentContainer"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dip"
            />
    </LinearLayout>

Your FrameLayout has a height of 0! That means all the content inside it is hidden. Set the layout_height to something else such as match_parent.

Also, side note, fill_parent is deprecated now. You should use match_parent.
