    // url to get all subjects list
    private static String url_all_subjects = "http://192.168.1.12/android_project/get_subjects.php";

    // JSON Node names
    private static final String TAG_SUCCESS = "success";
    private static final String TAG_STUDENT = "student";

This is error log.

You go wrong over here

 myListView = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.textViewMatrix);

textViewMatrix is TextView id not a ListView id and also post your fragment_schedule.xml file

And change this

<ListView
  android:id="@android:id/list" ...../>

to

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/list"
    .......
    ......../>

And used in your Fragment like

myListView = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.list);

You have this

 myListView = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.textViewMatrix);

Probably id textViewMatrix is a TextView.

Confirmed by the fact you already initialize textview with the same id

TextView tvmatrix = (TextView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.textViewMatrix); 
// see the id textViewMatrix its a textview and you use the same to initialize listview

You need to have a ListView in your fragment_schedule.xml

<ListView
android:id="@+id/listView1

Then

myListView = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.listView1);

Edit :

Change this

<ListView
android:id="@android:id/list" 
//  you would use this id when you extend ListFragment and inflate a custom layout fro the fragment.

to

<ListView
android:id="@+id/list"

And then

myListView = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.list);
