Android fragment creation without constructor params - android

I have a viewpager2 adapter
class SectionPager2(fragment: Fragment): FragmentStateAdapter(fragment) {
private val fragmentList = mutableListOf<Fragment>()
override fun getItemCount() = fragmentList.size
override fun createFragment(position: Int) = fragmentList[position]
fun addFragment(position: Int, fragment: Fragment) {
fragmentList.add(position, fragment)
}
}
I use it along with a Tablayout like this
val sectionPagerAdapter = SectionPager2(this)
for (item in gradeSectionMajorOrdered) {
var title = ""
fragment = HomeDetailTempFragment.newInstance(thisFragment, item.majors!!, item.gradeSectionId)
gradeSectionIds.add(item.gradeSectionId)
for (i in viewModel.gradeSections.value?.result!!) {
if (i.id == item.gradeSectionId) title = i.name
}
majorItems.add(item.majors)
gradeSectionId = item.gradeSectionId
sectionPagerAdapter.addFragment(gradeSectionMajorOrdered.indexOf(item), fragment)
fragmentTitleList.add(gradeSectionMajorOrdered.indexOf(item), title)
}
Here I get HomeDetailTempFragment data from a server, the problem is that when I use
HomeDetailTempFragment.newInstance(thisFragment, item.majors!!, item.gradeSectionId) the code for example generates 3 the same data HomeDetailTempFragment view in viewpager but if I change this and remove companion object newInstance from HomeDetailTempFragment it works correctly and we all know what's gonna happen sometimes on some devices we get unable to intantiate fatal error.
This class does not work correctly:
#SuppressLint("ValidFragment")
class HomeDetailTempFragment : BaseFragment(), MajorRecyclerViewAdapter.IMajorRV {
companion object {
private lateinit var listener: OnClick
private lateinit var items: List<MajorGrades>
private var gradeSectionId = 0
fun newInstance(
listener: HomeDetailFragment,
items: List<MajorGrades>,
gradeSectionId: Int,
) = HomeDetailTempFragment().also {
this.listener = listener
this.gradeSectionId = gradeSectionId
this.items = items
}
}
private lateinit var mContext : Context
private lateinit var binding: FragmentHomeDetailTempBinding
override fun onCreateView(inflater : LayoutInflater,
container : ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState : Bundle?) : View {
binding = FragmentHomeDetailTempBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
return binding.root
}
override fun onViewCreated(view : View, savedInstanceState : Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
mContext = requireContext()
binding.rvGradeMajor.adapter = MajorRecyclerViewAdapter(context = mContext,
majors = items,
gradeSectionId = gradeSectionId,
listener = this)
}
override fun onGradeMajorClick(majorItem : MajorGrades, gradeItem : MajorGrades) {
listener.onGradeMajorClick(gradeSectionId, majorItem, gradeItem)
}
}
If I change the class this way it works as expected
#SuppressLint("ValidFragment")
class HomeDetailTempFragment(private val listener : OnClick,
private val items : List<MajorGrades>,
private val gradeSectionId : Int)
: BaseFragment(), MajorRecyclerViewAdapter.IMajorRV {
private lateinit var mContext : Context
private lateinit var binding: FragmentHomeDetailTempBinding
override fun onCreateView(inflater : LayoutInflater,
container : ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState : Bundle?) : View {
binding = FragmentHomeDetailTempBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
return binding.root
}
override fun onViewCreated(view : View, savedInstanceState : Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
mContext = requireContext()
binding.rvGradeMajor.adapter = MajorRecyclerViewAdapter(context = mContext,
majors = items,
gradeSectionId = gradeSectionId,
listener = this)
}
override fun onGradeMajorClick(majorItem : MajorGrades, gradeItem : MajorGrades) {
listener.onGradeMajorClick(gradeSectionId, majorItem, gradeItem)
}
}

Both your approaches to creating fragments are wrong.
In the first case you write data to companion object of HomeDetailTempFragment. This is same as writing to a static variable in Java. So you get only the data you wrote last - for the last fragment.
The second case would fail as soon as Android system decided to recreate your fragment, for example on screen rotation, because it would call empty constructor. But I assume it just fails to compile.
The correct way is to use setArguments in newInstance and getArguments in onViewCreated (or onCreateView). See this question for more info, including Kotlin implementation.
However I suspect you won't be able to put List<MajorGrades> into the Bundle. Also Bundles have limited size. Instead I'd suggest using a shared ViewModel for the data and passing only fragment's position via the arguments.

Is there any simple solutions to pass non-empty Array to another class?

Get numbers
class Base : Fragment() {
val time = ArrayList<Double>()
val amplitude = ArrayList<Double>()
var flag = 0
private fun readNumbersFromCSV(fileName: String) {
val textView: TextView = requireView().findViewById(R.id.result)
val timeTextView: TextView = requireView().findViewById(R.id.Time)
val amplitudeTextView: TextView = requireView().findViewById(R.id.Amplitude)
timeTextView.movementMethod = ScrollingMovementMethod()
amplitudeTextView.movementMethod = ScrollingMovementMethod()
try {
timeTextView.append("Time, s\n")
amplitudeTextView.append("Amplitude\n")
val file = File(fileName)
if(!file.exists()){
throw FileNotFoundException("File not found")
}
val reader = BufferedReader(FileReader(file))
var line = reader.readLine()
while (line != null) {
val parts = line.split(",")
if (parts.size == 2) {
time.add(parts[1].toDouble())
amplitude.add(parts[0].toDouble())
timeTextView.append(parts[1] + "\n")
amplitudeTextView.append(parts[0] + "\n")
}
line = reader.readLine()
}
flag = 1
reader.close()
} catch (e: FileNotFoundException) {
textView.text = "Error: File Not Found"
} catch (e: Exception) {
textView.text = "Error: ${e.message}"
}
}
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?

return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_base, container, false)
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
val path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS).toString()
val file = File(path, "data.csv").toString()
readNumbersFromCSV(file)
/*now im ready to pass data to another class*/
}
}
Do some calculations on those numbers
class Calculations : Fragment() {
private fun meanAmplitude(amplitudes: List<Double>): Double {
if(amplitudes.isEmpty()) return 3.5
return amplitudes.sum() / amplitudes.size
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View? {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_calculations, container, false)
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
val copiedList = Base().amplitude.toList() /* data from file passed to new array*/
val textViewAmp: TextView = view.findViewById(R.id.Camplitude)
val valueOfMean = meanAmplitude(copiedList).toString() /*calculate mean value*/
textViewAmp.text = valueOfMean /*display it*/
}
}

internal class MyAdapter (var context: Context, fm: FragmentManager, var totalTabs: Int): FragmentPagerAdapter(fm) {

Im new in Kotlin. I have a problem with initializing an array that is being filled with data from a .csv file in the Base class, and then its contents should be passed to the Calculations class. The problem is that the array instance is being passed before it is being filled with numbers. Two fragments are generated probably in the same time.
Loading from file and initializing an array in the first class works, elements are displayed on the screen without any problems. After passing the array to the second class, it is empty.
I tried to do a flag, but it doesnt work like I though. Im not using activities, just Fragments and ViewPager. I tried Bundles but its hard to apply new things in my messy project.
Here:
val copiedList = Base().amplitude.toList()
You are instantiating a new instance of Base by calling its constructor. This new instance shares nothing with any previous instance. It's a brand new Base that hasn't done anything yet so its lists are still empty.
To pass data between fragments, you should create an arguments Bundle and pass that to the new fragment. The reason you need to do it this way is that Android automatically destroys and recreates Fragment instances under various conditions, and only the arguments data is preserved for the new instance.
The conventional way to do this is to define a Fragment factory function named newInstance() in its companion object. Then the Fragment can unpack the new data in onViewCreated(). You have to convert to and from DoubleArrays because Bundle doesn't support Lists.
class Calculations private constructor(): Fragment(R.layout.fragment_calculations) {
companion object {
private const val TIME_LIST_KEY = "timeList"
private const val AMP_LIST_KEY = "ampList"
fun newInstance(timeList: List<Double>, ampList: List<Double>) =
Calculations().apply {
arguments = bundleOf(
TIME_LIST_KEY to timeList.toDoubleArray(),
AMP_LIST_KEY to ampList.toDoubleArray()
)
}
}
private fun meanAmplitude(amplitudes: List<Double>): Double {
if(amplitudes.isEmpty()) return 3.5
return amplitudes.sum() / amplitudes.size
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
val timeList = requireArguments().getDoubleArray(TIME_LIST_KEY).toList()
val ampList = requireArguments().getDoubleArray(AMP_LIST_KEY).toList()
val textViewAmp: TextView = view.findViewById(R.id.Camplitude)
val valueOfMean = meanAmplitude(ampList).toString() /*calculate mean value*/
textViewAmp.text = valueOfMean /*display it*/
}
}
Then in your first fragment, you use Calculations.newInstance() to create your second fragment before passing it to the transaction manager.
By the way, there's a major bug in your Base class. Since Fragment instances can be reused by the OS, the same fragment can go through multiple lifecycles. Since you are adding your data to the same ArrayLists every time onViewCreated() is called, they will get longer and longer as the user rotates the screen or navigates back and forth in the app. You should either remove those properties and use local variables instead, or you should clear those ArrayLists in onDestroyView().

Why return function in variable is null? Kotlin + Android

I am missing some basic coding knowledge here I think, I want to present value to the fragment by assigning the function to the variable in a viewModel. When I call the function directly, I get correct value. When I assign function to variable and pass the variable to the fragment it is always null, why?
View Model
class CartFragmentViewModel : ViewModel() {
private val repository = FirebaseCloud()
private val user = repository.getUserData()
val userCart = user?.switchMap {
repository.getProductsFromCart(it.cart)
}
private fun calculateCartValue(): Long? {
val list = userCart?.value
return list?.map { it.price!! }?.sum()
}
//val cartValue = userCart?.value?.sumOf { it.price!! } <- THIS will be null
val cartValue = calculateCartValue() <- THIS will be null
val cartSize = userCart?.value?.size <- THIS will be null
}
Fragment
class CartFragment : RootFragment(), OnProductClick, View.OnClickListener {
private lateinit var cartViewModel: CartFragmentViewModel
private lateinit var binding: FragmentCartBinding
private val cartAdapter = CartAdapter(this)
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View {
binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(
inflater,
R.layout.fragment_cart,
container,
false
)
setAnimation()
cartViewModel = CartFragmentViewModel()
binding.buttonToCheckout.setOnClickListener(this)
return binding.root
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
binding.recyclerCart.apply {
layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(requireContext())
adapter = cartAdapter
}
cartViewModel.userCart?.observe(viewLifecycleOwner, { list ->
cartAdapter.setCartProducts(list)
updateCart()
})
}
override fun onClick(view: View?) {
when (view) {
binding.buttonToCheckout -> {
navigateToCheckout(cartViewModel.cartValue.toString())
cartViewModel.sendProductEvent(
cartAdapter.cartList,
ProductEventType.CHECKOUT
)
}
}
}
override fun onProductClick(product: Product, position: Int) {
cartViewModel.removeFromCart(product)
cartAdapter.removeFromCart(product, position)
updateCart()
}
private fun updateCart() {
binding.textCartTotalValue.text = cartViewModel.cartValue.toString() <- NULL
binding.textCartQuantityValue.text = cartViewModel.cartSize.toString() <- NULL
}
}
Thanks!
It looks like userCart is some sort of observable variable which initially holds a null value and then gets populated with the data from your repository after the network call (or something similar) completes.
The reason that all your variables are null are because you are declaring their value immediately, so by the time those statements get executed, the network call hasn't yet completed and userCart?.value is null. However calling the calculateCartValue() function later on in the code might yield a value if the fetch is complete.

Android: Variable gets uninitialized in ViewModel after being initialized in the Fragment

I have a callback method in my fragment which gets called from it's ViewModel. It initializes the variable in the OnCreateView() method of the fragment, but when the ViewModel calls it to use it, its null.
I am thinking that it has something to do with maybe the VM getting recreated somehow? I just can't seem to figure it out.
I am following this answer's of how the VM drives the UI. They provide Google's sample of a callback interface being created (TasksNavigator.java), Overriding the method in the View (TasksActivity.java), and then calling that method from the VM (TasksViewModel.java) but it doesn't seem to work for me.
Fragment
class SearchMovieFragment : Fragment(), SearchNavigator {
companion object {
fun newInstance() = SearchMovieFragment()
}
private lateinit var searchMovieFragmentViewModel: SearchMovieFragmentViewModel
private lateinit var binding: SearchMovieFragmentBinding
private lateinit var movieRecyclerView: RecyclerView
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
searchMovieFragmentViewModel = ViewModelProvider(this).get(SearchMovieFragmentViewModel::class.java)
binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(inflater, R.layout.search_movie_fragment, container, false)
binding.viewmodel = searchMovieFragmentViewModel
searchMovieFragmentViewModel.setNavigator(this)
setUpRecyclerView(container!!.context)
return binding.root
}
private fun setUpRecyclerView(context: Context) {
movieRecyclerView = binding.searchMovieFragmentRecyclerView.apply {
this.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(context, LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL, false)
}
val adapter = MovieListAdapter()
binding.searchMovieFragmentRecyclerView.adapter = adapter
searchMovieFragmentViewModel.movieList.observe(viewLifecycleOwner, Observer {
adapter.submitList(it)
})
}
override fun openDetails() {
Log.d("TEST", "opening details")
}
}
ViewModel
class SearchMovieFragmentViewModel : ViewModel(), MovieSearchItemViewModel {
private lateinit var searchNavigator: SearchNavigator
val editTextContent = MutableLiveData<String>()
var movieList = Repository.getMovieList("batman")
fun setNavigator(_searchNavigator: SearchNavigator) {
this.searchNavigator = _searchNavigator
if (searchNavigator != null) {
Log.d("TEST", "its not null $searchNavigator") // Here it is not null
}
}
private fun getMovieDetail(movieId: String) {
val movie = Repository.getMovieDetail(movieId)
Log.d("TEST", "checking ${this.searchNavigator}") // Here is where I call it but it is null
// searchNavigator.openDetails()
}
private fun getMovieList(movieSearch: String): MutableLiveData<List<Movie>> = Repository.getMovieList(movieSearch)
override fun displayMovieDetailsButton(movieId: String) {
Log.d("TEST", "button clicked $movieId")
getMovieDetail(movieId)
}
}
CallBack Interface
interface SearchNavigator {
fun openDetails()
}
Initiate ViewModel in below method of fragment
override onActivityCreated(#Nullable final Bundle savedInstanceState){
searchMovieFragmentViewModel = ViewModelProvider(this).get(SearchMovieFragmentViewModel::class.java)
}
I will recommend use live data to create connection between ViewModel and and Fragment it will be safer and correct approach.
Trigger openDetails based on the trigger's from your live data.It's forbidden to send your view(context) instance to ViewModel even if you wrap it as there is high probability of memory leaks.
But if you still want to follow this approach then you should Register and unregister fragment instance in your ViewModel (keep a list of SearchNavigator) it onStop() and onStart() .
and loop through them to call openDetails

How to manipulate fragment dynamically in view pager when data returned by fragment is empty

In my activity I am setting ViewPager,TabLayout and adding two fragment instance in a list. Then i am passing that list to ViewPagerAdapter .Responsibility of fragment is to fetch data from api call and show it in a list .
I am taking two instance of fragment because api returns two list of data that need to be show in tab fashion(One list in one tab and one in another). But when viewpager adapter returns fragment , if one data list is empty then I am getting empty screen in Tab-0 .
How to dynamically detect data size (here confused , because need to call fragment) and populate tab based on that.
ActivityOne.kt
class ActivityOne : BaseActivity() {
lateinit var item: ArrayList<HistoryTabItem>

val HistoryTabItemBuyer = HistoryTabItem()

}
}

}
override fun getCount(): Int {

}
}

isTickerShow = it.tickerMessageIsshow
tickerMessage = it.tickerMessageId
}
infoAdapter.list.clear()
infoAdapter.list.addAll(resultList)
infoAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged()
}
fun combinedTransactionList(arrayList: ArrayList<SellerDataItem>, arrayList1: ArrayList<BuyerDataItem>): ArrayList<Any> {
allTransactionList = ArrayList()
allTransactionList.clear()
allTransactionList.addAll(arrayList)
allTransactionList.addAll(arrayList1)
return allTransactionList
}
}
The best option is to fetch data in the activity and then show that tab layout with 2 tabs or just one tab. You would use it with a shared view model, but I see you don't use view models here.
You can also just set the list in createInstance() method in Fragment when it isn't empty.
The third option is to fetch data in Fragment and then send information to activity that the list is empty and hide the specific tab.

Fragments and Activities using Kotlin

I have the following activity with two integers
class ComplexActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
var clubs : Int = 0
var diamonds : Int = 0
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_complex)
val fragment = ClubsFragment()
val transaction = supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction()
transaction.replace(R.id.main_frame, fragment)
transaction.commit()
}
}
I want to change the value of the integer clubs from the fragment ClubsFragment when isScored is true
class ClubsFragment : Fragment(), SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener{
private var isScored = false
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater?, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
val v = inflater!!.inflate(R.layout.fragment_clubs, container, false)
v.image_clubs.setOnClickListener {
if(isScored){
activity.clubs = 4
}
}
}
}
I tried to use activity.clubs but It's not working. How can I access the activity constants from a fragment.
You would create an interface, let's say FragmentListener for your Activity that contains a function like fun updateClubs(count: Int). Your Activity should implement this interface.
Then, in your Fragment, add a fragmentListener property and override onAttach(context: Context):
private var fragmentListener: FragmentListener? = null
override fun onAttach(context: Context) {
this.listener = context as? FragmentListener
}
Then, in your OnClickListener, you can simply call fragmentListener?.updateClubs(4).
