UPDATE: This is my current code, however it breaks after I re-click the same button....
Cause: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fragment already active
I have a main_activity.xml split into Frame layouts.
The upper frame layout contains an edit text and 3 buttons (small, medium, large).
The lower frame layout contains a text view to populate the text of the edit text in either small, medium or large font.
I put the text into a bundle and am attempting to reopen that bundle in the corresponding fragment once the button is clicked.... however, the bundle does not contain any text information from the text according to my debugger.
Here is my code with the medium, large buttons removed
Any help, please?
MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView textView;
Button bSmall;
Small fSmall = new Small();
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if(findViewById(R.id.fragment)!=null){
if(savedInstanceState!=null){
return;
}
}
final EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.type_here);
final Button bSmall = (Button)findViewById(R.id.small);
Button bMedium = (Button)findViewById(R.id.medium);
bSmall.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
String message_small = editText.getText().toString();
small = message_small;
bundle.putString("message_small", message_small);
fSmall.setArguments(bundle);
FragmentManager fm =getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.fragment, fSmall).commit();
}
});
bMedium.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
String message_medium = editText.getText().toString();
bundle.putString("message_medium", message_medium);
fMedium.setArguments(bundle);
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.fragment, fMedium).commit();
}
});
}
public String getMyData(){
return small;
}
}
Small:
public class Small extends Fragment {
EditText editText;
View myView;
public Small() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
myView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_small, container, false);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle = getArguments();
MainActivity activity = (MainActivity)getActivity();
//String dataFromMainActivity = activity.getMyData();
String myString = bundle.getString("message_small");
TextView set = myView.findViewById(R.id.small_text);
set.setText(myString);
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return myView;
}
}
You forgot to add the bundle to the fragment.
You need to do something like this:
Small fSmall = new Small();
...
bundle.putString("message_small", message_small);
fSmall.setArguments(bundle);
FragmentManager fm =getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.fragment, fSmall);
I think you forgot to add your bundle to your Fragment before calling the fragment manager.
You should try something like this:
Small fSmall = new Small();
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("message_small", message_small); //parameters are (key, value).
fSmall.setArguments(bundle);
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment, fSmall).commit();
In your second fragment, you should check if myString is not null or empty.
String myString = getArguments().getString("message_small");
if (myString == null) {
Log.e("TAG", "Error: null argument");
}
EDIT I see another problem here. You are accessing varaibles that have not been instatiated. You should inflate your layout before calling findViewById() or it will return a NullPointerException.
Update your Small class like this :
public class Small extends Fragment {
private EditText editText;
View myView;
public Small() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
myView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_small, container, false);
String myString = getArguments().getString("message_small");
// Here, myView is != null
TextView editText = myView.findViewById(R.id.small_text);
// Here, editText is != null
editText.setText(myString);
return myView;
}
}

so my code is supposed to support both phone and tablet (tablet with fragments). I know how to inflate the fragment and set the necessary values in the MessageFragment class but I am supposed to do this in the MessageDetails class instead. I don't know how to do that.
ChatWindow class has my code that launches based on if I am on the phone or tablet:
myDisplay.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
if(isTablet){
MessageFragment mFragment = new MessageFragment();
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
String idString = String.valueOf(id);
bundle.putString("message_id", idString);
String message = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ChatDatabaseHelper.KEY_MESSAGE));
bundle.putString("message_value", message);
mFragment.setArguments(bundle);
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.add(R.id.frme, mFragment).addToBackStack(null) .commit();
} else { Intent intent = new Intent(ChatWindow.this, MessageDetails.class);
String idString = String.valueOf(id);
String message = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ChatDatabaseHelper.KEY_MESSAGE));
intent.putExtra("message_id", idString);
intent.putExtra("message_value", message);
startActivity(intent); } //for phone
}
});
Here is my onCreateView code for the MessageFragment Class:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup parent, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the xml file for the fragment
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_message_details, parent, false);
return rootView;
}
And Finally, this is my MessageDetails class where I am supposed to inflate the fragment for tablet and assign values (you can see the code for phone layout is already there).
public class MessageDetails extends Activity {
String id;
String message;
MessageFragment mfragment;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_message_details);
Bundle bundle;
TextView delMsg;
TextView delId;
Button delBtn;
bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
setId(bundle.getString("message_id"));
setMessage(bundle.getString("message_value"));
//Missing Fragment Inflater code
delMsg = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.delMsg);
delId = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.delId);
delBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.delBtn);
delMsg.setText(message);
delId.setText(id);
delBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MessageDetails.this, ChatWindow.class);
intent.putExtra ("delete_id", id);
setResult(RESULT_OK);
startActivityForResult(intent, 33);
finish();
}
}
);
}
public void setId(String delId) {
delId = id;
}
public void setMessage(String delMessage) {
delMessage = message;
}
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public String getMessage() {
return message;
}
}
If you want to embed the fragment based on some business logic, then you can try
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
ExampleFragment fragment = new ExampleFragment();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.fragment_container, fragment);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
or, If the fragment is already present in your activity's layout xml file, the fragment will be instantiated whenever the activity's layout is inflated by the system and the onCreateView method of the fragment will be called.
As per the official documentation,
When the system creates this activity layout, it instantiates each fragment specified in the layout and calls the onCreateView() method for each one, to retrieve each fragment's layout. The system inserts the View returned by the fragment directly in place of the element.
Please follow the official documentation from the below link for better understanding the Fragment lifecycle.
https://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html#Creating
Since MessageDetails is an Activity. You can try something like this:
getLayoutInflater().inflate(your_xml_layout)
So what i want to do is that from first.java Fragment pass the EditText data and ImageView to two.java. I manage to replace first.java with two.java when i click the button (transaction.replace(R.id.top,Two);). I am familiar with Intent but i am not sure how to pass EditText and Imageview in Fragments. Please refer to the screenshot.
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
FragmentManager manager=getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction=manager.beginTransaction();
first first=new first();
transaction.add(R.id.top,first);
transaction.commit();
}
}
first.java
public class first extends Fragment implements View.OnClickListener{
Button get_button;
EditText get_input_name;
ImageView get_image;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_first,container,false);
get_input_name=(EditText)rootView.findViewById(R.id.input_name);
get_button=(Button)rootView.findViewById(R.id.submit);
get_image=(ImageView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.img1);
get_button.setOnClickListener(this);
return rootView;
}
public void onClick(View v){
FragmentManager manager=getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction=manager.beginTransaction();
two Two=new two();
transaction.replace(R.id.top,Two);
transaction.commit();
}
}
two.java
public class two extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_two, container, false);
}
}
Anyone can help? thx
Put both values in Bundle.
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("edtValue", <EditText value>);
bundle.putString("image", <Image path/url>);
Pass Bundle in Fragment
Two.setArguments(bundle);
Fetch these value in second fragment
Bundle bundle = getArguments();
String edtValue = bundle.getString("edtValue");
Tip : You should use camel case while declaring class name, check Java Coding Style Guidelines or Google Java Style Guide
You cannot share data between two fragments if they are on different activities but you can declare a variable in activity and get the result in any of the two fragments.
If both fragment are on same activity you can use Bundle , putExtra method for sharing data.

RRR answer is right.
You can do this by using constructor too.
in second activity make on constructor with values you want to get.
String text;
String imagepath;
// or int imageid;
public Two(String text, String imagepath /* or int imageid*/) {
super();
this.text = text;
this.imagepath = imagepath;
//or
this.imageid = imageid;
}
and from first fragment do like this.
FragmentManager manager=getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction=manager.beginTransaction();
two Two=new two(get_input_name.getText().toString.Trim(),imagepath /*or R.drawable.Imageid*/);
transaction.replace(R.id.top,Two);
transaction.commit();
FragmentManager manager=getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction=manager.beginTransaction();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt("your_data",value);
two Two=new two();
two.setArguments(args);
transaction.replace(R.id.top,Two);
transaction.commit();
in two.java
Get these value and set in fragment
public class two extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
Bundle b = getArguments();
String s = b.getInt("your_data");
// Do Whatever you want
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_two, container, false);
}
}

How to pass values between Fragments
(18 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have Two Dynamic Fragments associated with one activity, I am trying to pass one Text from First Fragment to Second Fragment using Bundle, but I am getting Null Pointer Exception. Is it the right way to pass String between two fragments? Below is my code :
First Fragment
public class FirstFragment extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.content_main, container, false);
String text = "GetThisStringInSecondFragment";
TextView txtView = null;
txtView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.firstfragmenttext);
txtView.setText(text);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("HI", text);
return view;
}
}
Second Fragment
public class SecondFragment extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.content_secondmain,
container, false);
TextView txtView = null;
txtView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.secondfragmenttext);
Bundle bundle = this.getArguments();
String myInt = bundle.getString("HI");
txtView.setText(myInt);
return view;
}
}
Activity
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button btnLoad = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_load);
View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
FirstFragment hello = new FirstFragment();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.fragment_container, hello, "HELLO");
fragmentTransaction.commit();
FragmentManager fragmentManager2 = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction2 = fragmentManager2.beginTransaction();
SecondFragment hello2 = new SecondFragment();
fragmentTransaction2.add(R.id.fragment_container, hello2, "HELLO");
fragmentTransaction2.commit();
}
};
btnLoad.setOnClickListener(listener);
}
}
You are doing getArguments in second fragment but where are you sending those arguments from first fragment. You can use Interface here and define it in activity. From activity, you can use setArgument() method for second fragment.
check the following link for more detailed information and steps to do that.

What I need to achieve
A screen displaying a ListView, which can be replaced by an error screen in case of problems (missing connection, server unavailable and the like).
I need to be able to switch (programmatically) back and forth between these two screens.
Requirements
The main screen must be a Fragment.
This is because my application is composed of several sections, each one accessible from the navigation drawer.
What I have done so far
The main fragment class is named AllQueuesFragment: its XML layout consists of a FrameLayout, which I use in combination with the FragmentManager to switch between ErrorFragment (containing the error message) and QueuesViewFragment (containing the ListView).
public class AllQueuesFragment extends Fragment
{
public AllQueuesFragment()
{
super();
}
#Override
public void onStart()
{
super.onStart();
// Show the right fragment based on connectivity status
checkConnection();
}
public void checkConnection()
{
final NetworkManager netManager = NetworkManager.getInstance(this.getActivity());
if (netManager.isConnected())
showQueues();
else
showNoConnection();
}
public void showNoConnection()
{
ErrorFragment fragNoConnection = new ErrorFragment();
displayFragment(fragNoConnection);
fragNoConnection.setTitle(R.string.text_no_connection);
fragNoConnection.setIcon(R.drawable.thatfeel);
fragNoConnection.setLoaderVisibility(false);
}
public void showQueues()
{
QueuesViewFragment fragQueuesView = new QueuesViewFragment();
displayFragment(fragQueuesView);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
// Inflate the view
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_allqueues, container, false);
return rootView;
}
// Displays a new fragment
public void displayFragment(Fragment fragment)
{
if (fragment != null)
{
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.frame_container, fragment).commit();
}
}
}
The error screen is the following:
public class ErrorFragment extends Fragment
{
private TextView textTitle;
public ErrorFragment()
{
super();
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
// Inflate the view
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_error, container, false);
// Get the widgets
textTitle = (TextView)rootView.findViewById( R.id.fragment_error_text );
return rootView;
}
// Set methods
public void setTitle(int id) { textTitle.setText(id); }
}
The problem
The setTitle() method gets called before the layout is ready, and as a result, a NullPointerException is thrown.
class AllQueuesFragment
{
....
public void displayFragment(Fragment fragment)
{
if (fragment != null)
{
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.frame_container, fragment).commit();
}
}
public void showNoConnection()
{
ErrorFragment fragNoConnection = new ErrorFragment();
displayFragment(fragNoConnection);
// PROBLEM HERE: Before calling setTitle(), I must be sure that ErrorFragment's
// layout is inflated!
fragNoConnection.setTitle(R.string.text_no_connection);
}
....
}
class ErrorFragment
{
....
public void setTitle(String value) { textTitle.setText(value); }
....
}
I can't call setTitle() directly from ErrorFragment::onCreateView(), because I don't know beforehand which message I need to show.
How can I ensure that fragNoConnection has completed its layouting?
Is there a better way to achieve my goal?
Unsatisfying workaround
The only workaround I can think of is to use a buffer to defer the actual call:
class ErrorFragment
{
// This string will hold the title until the layout is inflated
private String titleBuffer;
private TextView textTitle = null;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
// Inflate the view
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_error, container, false);
// Get the widgets
textTitle = (TextView)rootView.findViewById( R.id.fragment_error_text );
// Do the actual set
setTitle(titleBuffer);
return rootView;
}
....
public void setTitle(String value)
{
titleBuffer = value;
// If the layout is not inflated, defer the actual set
if (textTitle != null)
textTitle.setText(titleBuffer);
}
....
}
but I don't like this solution very much (the code above is simplified; ErrorFragment has more properties).
Advices?
Thanks in advance
This is exactly the type of thing arguments are supposed to be used for:
public void showNoConnection() {
ErrorFragment fragNoConnection = new ErrorFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
//you can also use putInt here if you'd rather pass a string resource id, along with anything else you can stick into a Bundle
args.putString("title", "some title");
fragNoConnection.setArguments(args);
displayFragment(fragNoConnection);
}
Then in ErrorFragment
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_error, container, false);
TextView textTitle = (TextView)rootView.findViewById( R.id.fragment_error_text );
//now retrieve the argument...
textTitle.setText(getArguments().getString("title"));
return rootView;
}
The Fragment will even remember it's arguments after an orientation change.
If you feel like being pedantic, you can create a static factory method within ErrorFragment that takes the title as an argument and then creates the Fragment and adds the argument, that way you can achieve proper encapsulation :)
You need to have a callback method in your ErrorFragment and when the view is inflated you then call the method in your callback interface in the onViewCreated and set the title.
sample:
in ErroFragment
public class ErroFragment extends Fragment
{
static interface ErrorDone{
public void doneInflating();
}
private TextView textTitle;
private ErrorDone ed;
public ErroFragment()
{
super();
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
// Inflate the view
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_error, container, false);
// Get the widgets
textTitle = (TextView)rootView.findViewById( R.id.fragment_error_text );
return rootView;
}
// Set methods
public void setTitle(int id) { textTitle.setText(id); }
public void setInterFace(ErrorDone er){ this.ed = er; }
}
Then you implement the interface in your AllQueuesFragment
public class AllQueuesFragment extends Fragment implements ErroFragment.ErrorDone
It will generate method doneInflating
and you need to set the interface:
public void showNoConnection()
{
ErrorFragment fragNoConnection = new ErrorFragment();
displayFragment(fragNoConnection);
fragNoConnection.setInterFace(this);
}
And in the generated method(doneInflating) of the AllQueuesFragment you then set the title in there:
public void doneInflating(){
fragNoConnection.setTitle(R.string.text_no_connection);
fragNoConnection.setIcon(R.drawable.thatfeel);
fragNoConnection.setLoaderVisibility(false);
}
If you want to be sure that the FragmentTransaction is commited and effective, you can use the executePendingTransactions method:
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.frame_container, fragment).commit();
fragmentManager.executePendingTransactions();
But, the right way to do it is to send the title value to the Fragment when instantiating it. This is the default pattern when you create a Fragment from your IDE (eclipse or Android Studio)
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements MainMenuFragment.OnMainMenuItemSelectedListener {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager
.beginTransaction();
// add menu fragment
MainMenuFragment myFragment = new MainMenuFragment();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.menu_fragment, myFragment);
//add content
DetailPart1 content1= new DetailPart1 ();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.content_fragment, content1);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
public void onMainMenuSelected(String tag) {
//next menu is selected replace existing fragment
}
I have a need to display two list views side by side, menu on left and its content on right side. By default, the first menu is selected and its content is displayed on right side. The Fragment that displays content is as below:
public class DetailPart1 extends Fragment {
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> myList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
ListAdapter adap;
ListView listview;
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
if(savedInstanceState!=null){
myList = (ArrayList)savedInstanceState.getSerializable("MYLIST_obj");
adap = new LoadImageFromArrayListAdapter(getActivity(),myList );
listview.setAdapter(adap);
}else{
//get list and load in list view
getlistTask = new GetALLListTasks().execute();
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.skyview_fragment, container,false);
return v;
}
#Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
outState.putSerializable("MYLIST_obj", myList );
}
}
The onActivityCreated and onCreateView are called twice. There are many examples out there using fragments. Since I am beginner in this subject, I am unable relate the example with my problem. I need a fool proof way to handle orientation change. I have NOT declared android:configChanges in manifest file. I need the activity destroy and recreate so that I can use different layout in landscape mode.
You are creating a new fragment every time you turn the screen in your activity onCreate(); But you are also maintaining the old ones with super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);. So maybe set tag and find the fragment if it exists, or pass null bundle to super.
This took me a while to learn and it can really be a pain when you are working with stuff like viewpager.
I'd recommend you to read about fragments an extra time as this exact topic is covered.
Here is an example of how to handle fragments on a regular orientation change:
Activity:
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
TestFragment test = new TestFragment();
test.setArguments(getIntent().getExtras());
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(android.R.id.content, test, "your_fragment_tag").commit();
} else {
TestFragment test = (TestFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("your_fragment_tag");
}
}
}
Fragment:
public class TestFragment extends Fragment {
public static final String KEY_ITEM = "unique_key";
public static final String KEY_INDEX = "index_key";
private String mTime;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_layout, container, false);
if (savedInstanceState != null) {
// Restore last state
mTime = savedInstanceState.getString("time_key");
} else {
mTime = "" + Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();
}
TextView title = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.fragment_test);
title.setText(mTime);
return view;
}
#Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
outState.putString("time_key", mTime);
}
}
A good guideline about how to retain data between orientation changes and activity recreation can be found in android guidelines.
Summary:
make your fragment retainable:
setRetainInstance(true);
Create a new fragment only if necessary (or at least take data from it)
dataFragment = (DataFragment) fm.findFragmentByTag("data");
// create the fragment and data the first time
if (dataFragment == null) {
