CalendarView does not work in fragments? Android

So if I create a new project and throw a calanderView into the xml file for the main activity. Then write some code in the main activity

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private CalendarView mCalendarView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        mCalendarView = findViewById(R.id.calendarView);
        mCalendarView.setOnDateChangeListener(new CalendarView.OnDateChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onSelectedDayChange(CalendarView view, int year, int month, int dayOfMonth) {
                String date =  year + "/" + month + "/" + dayOfMonth;
                Log.wtf("wtf","onSelectedDayChange" + date);
            }
        });
    }
}

The setOnDateChangeListener will work as expected and Log.wtf will execute.

If I try to throw a calanderView into a xml file for a fragment. The calendar will appear in the fragment and I can click on dates. But for some reason the setOnDateChangeListener does not work. Here is my code for my fragment. Sorry its the default code so there is kind of a lot. I am new to using fragments so I am not sure whats all important. I implemented the setOnDateChangeListener in the onCreateView method.

public class ThirdFragment extends Fragment {
    // TODO: Rename parameter arguments, choose names that match
    // the fragment initialization parameters, e.g. ARG_ITEM_NUMBER
    private static final String ARG_PARAM1 = "param1";
    private static final String ARG_PARAM2 = "param2";

    // TODO: Rename and change types of parameters
    private String mParam1;
    private String mParam2;

    private OnFragmentInteractionListener mListener;

    public ThirdFragment() {
        // Required empty public constructor
    }

    
    // TODO: Rename and change types and number of parameters
    public static ThirdFragment newInstance(String param1, String param2) {
        ThirdFragment fragment = new ThirdFragment();
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putString(ARG_PARAM1, param1);
        args.putString(ARG_PARAM2, param2);
        fragment.setArguments(args);
        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        if (getArguments() != null) {
            mParam1 = getArguments().getString(ARG_PARAM1);
            mParam2 = getArguments().getString(ARG_PARAM2);
        }
    }

    private CalendarView mCalendarView;
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_third, container, false);
        mCalendarView = (CalendarView) view.findViewById(R.id.calendarView);
        mCalendarView.setOnDateChangeListener(new CalendarView.OnDateChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onSelectedDayChange(CalendarView view, int year, int month, int dayOfMonth) {
                String date =  year + "/" + month + "/" + dayOfMonth;
                Log.wtf("wtf","onSelectedDayChange" + date);
            }
        });

        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_third, container, false);
    }

    // TODO: Rename method, update argument and hook method into UI event
    public void onButtonPressed(Uri uri) {
        if (mListener != null) {
            mListener.onFragmentInteraction(uri);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onAttach(Context context) {
        super.onAttach(context);
        if (context instanceof OnFragmentInteractionListener) {
            mListener = (OnFragmentInteractionListener) context;
        } else {
            throw new RuntimeException(context.toString()
                    + " must implement OnFragmentInteractionListener");
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onDetach() {
        super.onDetach();
        mListener = null;
    }

    /**
     * This interface must be implemented by activities that contain this
     * fragment to allow an interaction in this fragment to be communicated
     * to the activity and potentially other fragments contained in that
     * activity.
     * <p>
     * See the Android Training lesson <a href=
     * "http://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/communicating.html"
     * >Communicating with Other Fragments</a> for more information.
     */
    public interface OnFragmentInteractionListener {
        // TODO: Update argument type and name
        void onFragmentInteraction(Uri uri);
    }
}

I honestly have no idea why this does not work because I have other fragments in my project where I have buttons where the button click event works and I implemented those like this:

private OnFragmentInteractionListener mListener;
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_login, container, false);
        button2 = view.findViewById(R.id.btn_register);
        button2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
           @Override
           public void onClick(View v) {
               // IMPORTANT this interface can send stuff back to the main activity
               mListener.register();
           }
        });
        return view;
}

If anyone could give me some insight it would be much appreciated!

In Fragments, if you're not using binding then in onCreateView method you should only inflate and return the view.. And do your code stuff in onViewCreated as it makes sure that your get the inflated view and the view is not null.

You should also look for Fragment Lifecycle Methods.
That way you'll understand how Fragments works along with Activity.

You need to return the same view object which you have inflated in onCreateView method. Modify your onCreateView method like this:

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_third, container, false);
        mCalendarView = (CalendarView) view.findViewById(R.id.calendarView);
        mCalendarView.setOnDateChangeListener(new CalendarView.OnDateChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onSelectedDayChange(CalendarView view, int year, int month, int dayOfMonth) {
                String date =  year + "/" + month + "/" + dayOfMonth;
                Log.wtf("wtf","onSelectedDayChange" + date);
            }
        });

        return view;  //instead of inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_third, container, false);
    }
