App crashes when I click the search button in my other fragments

My weather app works by searching cities on it's search panel and this works quite well. The only problem is that if i click the next tabs(hourly and daily section) on my bottom navigation view and click the search button there, it shows the following exception:

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.viz.lightweatherforecast.SecondFragment cannot be cast to com.viz.lightweatherforecast.FirstFragment
        at com.viz.lightweatherforecast.Activity.HomeActivity$2.onClick(HomeActivity.java:94)

        at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:912)

This error clearly indicates that the error is from this line on the activity:

FirstFragment firstFragment = (FirstFragment) navHostFragment.getChildFragmentManager().getFragments().get(0);
                firstFragment.getWeatherData(textfield.getText().toString().trim());

So I tried adding this:

SecondFragment secondFragment = (SecondFragment) navHostFragment.getChildFragmentManager().getFragments().get(0);
                secondFragment.getWeatherData(textfield.getText().toString().trim());

So that it can support my secondfragment, but it still gave the error. I have as well searched this site for an answer, but haven't found any solution.

To explain the app further, I have an activity that hosts 3 fragments(Firstfragment, Secondfragment, and Thirdfragment. The 1st is labeled Today, 2nd is Hourly and 3rd is Daily for the weather.

I'm not planning on using the hourly and daily tabs for now until later versions of the app. My other fragments are currently empty(no code written on them), I just want to stick to only the today tab for now. But fixing this error is necessary, just in case of users click it.

My Aim is just to ensure that it doesn't give such an error if I click the search button on those other tabs, please help.

My Activity code:
