I am trying to retrieve images from SQLite database (I saved the images as String path ) to an ImageView, using this method:

Load method

public Bitmap Load(String path, BitmapSize bitmapSize) {

        BitmapFactory.Options options = SetBitmapOptions(bitmapSize);
        Context ctx = getContext();

        if (ctx == null) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Fragment " + this + " not attached to a 
                   context.");
        } else {
            Bitmap placeholder = decodeResource(ctx.getResources(),
                    R.drawable.placeholder, options);
            try {
                  if (path.isEmpty()) {
                    return placeholder;
                }
                 return decodeFile(path, options);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.e(TAG, "Exception: " + Log.getStackTraceString(e));
                return placeholder;
            }
        }
    }

This method is inside the Fragment FreezerUp, and I am calling this method from a ListViewAdapter implements ListAdapter class its method: getView

getView method

@SuppressLint("InflateParams")
    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        FreezerUpFragment fuf = new FreezerUpFragment();
        Product prd = mArrList.get(position);

        if (convertView == null) {
            LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(mContext);
            convertView = li.inflate(R.layout.list_row, null);

            convertView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                }
            });
            convertView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
                @Override
                public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
                    return true;
                }
            });

            TextView prdName = convertView.findViewById(R.id.productName);
            ImageView image = convertView.findViewById(R.id.img);
            TextView prdDesc = convertView.findViewById(R.id.productDesc);

            prdName.setText(prd.getProduktName());
            prdDesc.setText(prd.getProduktDesc());

            String s = FreezerUpFragment.imgPath;
            FreezerUpFragment.BitmapSize bs = FreezerUpFragment.BitmapSize.ListView;
            
            fuf.Load(s, bs);
            image.setImageBitmap(fuf.Load(s, bs));
        }
        return convertView;

I am using a TabLayout with PagerAdapter extends FragmentStateAdapter class for 2 fragments FreezerUpFragment and FreezerDownFragment.

My app starts showing FreezerUpFragment in the first tab containing a ListView (product names, product description and product images).

After a debug I noticed that ctx: null in Load method.

Any help to suggest or point me to why the Context is null is very appreciated.
