I have two activities. And I passed the argument to the target activity by intent:
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("ImagePath", path);
Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), DetailActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("paths", bundle);
startActivity(intent);
The target activity DetailActivity has a fragment, and I want to get the argument ImagePath in it. Now I have two method:
I get the argument in the DetailActivity by getIntent() and then pass it to the fragment using setArgmunets()
I get the argument in the target fragment using getActivity().getIntent() directly.
I like the method 2 and use it now because the clean code. But the Android Studio tell me the message Method invocation 'getIntent' may produce 'java.lang.NullPointerException' in getIntent().
So should I abandon the method 2?
Update: Final, I used the method 1, because of this answer :
From the Fragment documentation:
Often you will want one Fragment to communicate with another, for example to change the content based on a user event. All Fragment-to-Fragment communication is done through the associated Activity. Two Fragments should never communicate directly.
You can check for extras..
Intent intent = getActivity().getIntent();
if(intent.hasExtra("paths")){
// get the data
}else{
// Do something else
}
Use Below Code :
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString(Constants.BUNDLE_DATA, "From Activity");
Fragment fragment = new Fragment();
fragment.setArguments(bundle);
and in Fragment onCreateView method:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
String strtext = getArguments().getString(Constants.BUNDLE_DATA);
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment, container, false);
}
If you want to send large data ,then create a model and make that model implements Serializable .
No, it's not about the intent. It's because in some point of the time(e.g. fragment has been detached from the activity) getActivity() method can return null. So, correct call will be the next:
if(getActivity != null) getActivity().getIntent()
getActivity() on Fragment may produce null.
So you need to use either any interface for communication between activity and fragment or use bundle by passing in setArgument() in instance of fragment.
Android Studio 0.8.7
I have the following function that sets some argument in the fragment:
public static Fragment newInstance(UUID uuid) {
Log.d(TAG, "newInstance: " + uuid);
Bundle arguments = new Bundle();
arguments.putSerializable(EXTRA_JOB_ID, uuid);
DetailFragment fragment = new DetailFragment();
fragment.setArguments(arguments);
return fragment;
}
In my onCreate() I retrieve the arguments using getArguments like this:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate()");
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
/* Get the arguments from the fragment */
UUID uuid = (UUID)getArguments().getSerializable(EXTRA_JOB_ID);
.
.
}
However, sometimes there is a situation where I won't be sending any arguments to be retrieved, and my program will crash in that case.
Using Intents has the hasExtra method to check this:
if(getActivity().getIntent().hasExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT)) {
/* There is something to be retrieved */
}
I am wondering if there is something similar with getArguments
Many thanks in advance,
As an alternative suggestion to the other answers, your newInstance(...) method could be designed slightly better. As it stands, it always adds arguments even if your UUID parameter is null.
Try changing it to this...
public static Fragment newInstance(UUID uuid) {
Log.d(TAG, "newInstance: " + uuid);
DetailFragment fragment = new DetailFragment();
// Don't include arguments unless uuid != null
if (uuid != null) {
Bundle arguments = new Bundle();
arguments.putSerializable(EXTRA_JOB_ID, uuid);
fragment.setArguments(arguments);
}
return fragment;
}
Then in the onCreate(...) method of your Fragment check for arguments before anything else...
Bundle arguments = getArguments();
if (arguments != null && arguments.containsKey(EXTRA_JOB_ID))
UUID uuid = (UUID)arguments().getSerializable(EXTRA_JOB_ID);
Fragment.getArguments return an Bundle object all values send from other component. so you can use Bundle.containsKey for checking if key is available in received bundle or not:
Bundle bundle=getArguments();
if(bundle !=null)
if(bundle.containsKey(EXTRA_JOB_ID)){
// get value from bundle..
}
The purpose of the newInstance() design pattern AFAIK is that you guarantee your fragment will have the arguments supplied to it when it's instantiated.
In other words, the reason you call newInstance(something) is because you know something will be passed into the fragments argument, so you can always retrieve something from the fragment's getArguments() method later on.
So if you do plan on passing null as an argument, e.g. newInstance(null), which kind of defeats the purpose of using the newInstance design pattern, you're going to get a nullpointer exception.
You can call getIntent.containsKey(EXTRA_JOB_ID) to check whether your argument is null or not.
I have two classes. First is activity, second is a fragment where I have some EditText. In activity I have a subclass with async-task and in method doInBackground I get some result, which I save to variable. How can I send this variable from subclass "my activity" to this fragment?
From Activity you send data with intent as:
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("edttext", "From Activity");
// set Fragmentclass Arguments
Fragmentclass fragobj = new Fragmentclass();
fragobj.setArguments(bundle);
and in Fragment onCreateView method:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
String strtext = getArguments().getString("edttext");
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment, container, false);
}
Also You can access activity data from fragment:
Activity:
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
private String myString = "hello";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
...
}
public String getMyData() {
return myString;
}
}
Fragment:
public class MyFragment extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
MyActivity activity = (MyActivity) getActivity();
String myDataFromActivity = activity.getMyData();
return view;
}
}
I´ve found a lot of answers here # stackoverflow.com but definitely this is the correct answer of:
"Sending data from activity to fragment in android".
Activity:
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
String myMessage = "Stackoverflow is cool!";
bundle.putString("message", myMessage );
FragmentClass fragInfo = new FragmentClass();
fragInfo.setArguments(bundle);
transaction.replace(R.id.fragment_single, fragInfo);
transaction.commit();
Fragment:
Reading the value in the fragment
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Bundle bundle = this.getArguments();
String myValue = bundle.getString("message");
...
...
...
}
or just
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
String myValue = this.getArguments().getString("message");
...
...
...
}
This answer may be too late. but it will be useful for future readers.
I have some criteria. I have coded for pick the file from intent. and selected file to be passed to particular fragment for further process. i have many fragments having the functionality of File picking. at the time , every time checking the condition and get the fragment and pass the value is quite disgusting. so , i have decided to pass the value using interface.
Step 1: Create the interface on Main Activity.
public interface SelectedBundle {
void onBundleSelect(Bundle bundle);
}
Step 2: Create the SelectedBundle reference on the Same Activity
SelectedBundle selectedBundle;
Step 3: create the Method in the Same Activity
public void setOnBundleSelected(SelectedBundle selectedBundle) {
this.selectedBundle = selectedBundle;
}
Step 4: Need to initialise the SelectedBundle reference which are all fragment need filepicker functionality.You place this code on your fragment onCreateView(..) method
((MainActivity)getActivity()).setOnBundleSelected(new MainActivity.SelectedBundle() {
#Override
public void onBundleSelect(Bundle bundle) {
updateList(bundle);
}
});
Step 5: My case, i need to pass the image Uri from HomeActivity to fragment. So, i used this functionality on onActivityResult method.
onActivityResult from the MainActivity, pass the values to the fragments using interface.
Note: Your case may be different. you can call it from any where from your HomeActivity.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
selectedBundle.onBundleSelect(bundle);
}
Thats all. Implement every fragment you needed on the FragmentClass. You are great. you have done. WOW...
The best and convenient approach is calling fragment instance and send data at that time.
every fragment by default have instance method
For example :
if your fragment name is MyFragment
so you will call your fragment from activity like this :
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.container, MyFragment.newInstance("data1","data2"),"MyFragment").commit();
*R.id.container is a id of my FrameLayout
so in MyFragment.newInstance("data1","data2") you can send data to fragment and in your fragment you get this data in MyFragment newInstance(String param1, String param2)
public static MyFragment newInstance(String param1, String param2) {
MyFragment fragment = new MyFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putString(ARG_PARAM1, param1);
args.putString(ARG_PARAM2, param2);
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
and then in onCreate method of fragment you'll get the data:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (getArguments() != null) {
mParam1 = getArguments().getString(ARG_PARAM1);
mParam2 = getArguments().getString(ARG_PARAM2);
}
}
so now mParam1 have data1 and mParam2 have data2
now you can use this mParam1 and mParam2 in your fragment.
Basic Idea of using Fragments (F) is to create reusable self sustaining UI components in android applications. These Fragments are contained in activities and there are common(best) way of creating communication path ways from A -> F and F-A, It is a must to Communicate between F-F through a Activity because then only the Fragments become decoupled and self sustaining.
So passing data from A -> F is going to be the same as explained by ρяσѕρєя K. In addition to that answer, After creation of the Fragments inside an Activity, we can also pass data to the fragments calling methods in Fragments.
For example:
ArticleFragment articleFrag = (ArticleFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.article_fragment);
articleFrag.updateArticleView(position);
I would like to add for the beginners that the difference between the 2 most upvoted answers here is given by the different use of a fragment.
If you use the fragment within the java class where you have the data you want to pass, you can apply the first answer to pass data:
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("edttext", "From Activity");
Fragmentclass fragobj = new Fragmentclass();
fragobj.setArguments(bundle);
If however you use for example the default code given by Android Studio for tabbed fragments, this code will not work.
It will not work even if you replace the default PlaceholderFragment with your FragmentClasses, and even if you correct the FragmentPagerAdapter to the new situation adding a switch for getItem() and another switch for getPageTitle() (as shown here)
Warning: the clip mentioned above has code errors, which I explain later here, but is useful to see how you go from default code to editable code for tabbed fragments)! The rest of my answer makes much more sense if you consider the java classes and xml files from that clip (representative for a first use of tabbed fragments by a beginner scenario).
The main reason the most upvoted answer from this page will not work is that in that default code for tabbed fragments, the fragments are used in another java class: FragmentPagerAdapter!
So, in order to send the data, you are tempted to create a bundle in the MotherActivity and pass it in the FragmentPagerAdapter, using answer no.2.
Only that is wrong again. (Probably you could do it like that, but it is just a complication which is not really needed).
The correct/easier way to do it, I think, is to pass the data directly to the fragment in question, using answer no.2.
Yes, there will be tight coupling between the Activity and the Fragment, BUT, for tabbed fragments, that is kind of expected. I would even advice you to create the tabbed fragments inside the MotherActivity java class (as subclasses, as they will never be used outside the MotherActivity) - it is easy, just add inside the MotherActivity java class as many Fragments as you need like this:
public static class Tab1 extends Fragment {
public Tab1() {
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_layout_name_for_fragment_1, container, false);
return rootView;
}
}.
So, to pass data from the MotherActivity to such a Fragment you will need to create private Strings/Bundles above the onCreate of your Mother activity - which you can fill with the data you want to pass to the fragments, and pass them on via a method created after the onCreate (here called getMyData()).
public class MotherActivity extends Activity {
private String out;
private Bundle results;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_mother_activity);
// for example get a value from the previous activity
Intent intent = getIntent();
out = intent.getExtras().getString("Key");
}
public Bundle getMyData() {
Bundle hm = new Bundle();
hm.putString("val1",out);
return hm;
}
}
And then in the fragment class, you use getMyData:
public static class Tab1 extends Fragment {
/**
* The fragment argument representing the section number for this
* fragment.
*/
public Tab1() {
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_layout_name_for_fragment_1, container, false);
TextView output = (TextView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.your_id_for_a_text_view_within_the_layout);
MotherActivity activity = (MotherActivity)getActivity();
Bundle results = activity.getMyData();
String value1 = results.getString("val1");
output.setText(value1);
return rootView;
}
}
If you have database queries I advice you to do them in the MotherActivity (and pass their results as Strings/Integers attached to keys inside a bundle as shown above), as inside the tabbed fragments, your syntax will become more complex (this becomes getActivity() for example, and getIntent becomes getActivity().getIntent), but you have also the option to do as you wish.
My advice for beginners is to focus on small steps. First, get your intent to open a very simple tabbed activity, without passing ANY data. Does it work? Does it open the tabs you expect? If not, why?
Start from that, and by applying solutions such as those presented in this clip, see what is missing. For that particular clip, the mainactivity.xml is never shown. That will surely confuse you. But if you pay attention, you will see that for example the context (tools:context) is wrong in the xml fragment files. Each fragment XML needs to point to the correct fragment class (or subclass using the separator $).
You will also see that in the main activity java class you need to add tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(mViewPager) - right after the line TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs); without this line, your view is actually not linked to the XML files of the fragments, but it shows ONLY the xml file of the main activity.
In addition to the line in the main activity java class, in the main activity XML file you need to change the tabs to fit your situation (e.g. add or remove TabItems). If you do not have tabs in the main activity XML, then possibly you did not choose the correct activity type when you created it in the first place (new activity - tabbed activity).
Please note that in the last 3 paragraphs I talk about the video! So when I say main activity XML, it is the main activity XML in the video, which in your situation is the MotherActivity XML file.
If you pass a reference to the (concrete subclass of) fragment into the async task, you can then access the fragment directly.
Some ways of passing the fragment reference into the async task:
If your async task is a fully fledged class (class FooTask extends AsyncTask), then pass your fragment into the constructor.
If your async task is an inner class, just declare a final Fragment variable in the scope the async task is defined, or as a field of the outer class. You'll be able to access that from the inner class.
From Activity you send data with Bundle as:
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("data", "Data you want to send");
// Your fragment
MyFragment obj = new MyFragment();
obj.setArguments(bundle);
And in Fragment onCreateView method get the data:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
String data = getArguments().getString("data");// data which sent from activity
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.myfragment, container, false);
}
Sometimes you can receive Intent in your activity and you need to pass the info to your working fragment.
Given answers are OK if you need to start the fragment but if it's still working, setArguments() is not very useful.
Another problem occurs if the passed information will cause to interact with your UI. In that case you cannot call something like myfragment.passData() because android will quickly tells that only the thread which created the view can interact with.
So my proposal is to use a receiver. That way, you can send data from anywhere, including the activity, but the job will be done within the fragment's context.
In you fragment's onCreate():
protected DataReceiver dataReceiver;
public static final String REC_DATA = "REC_DATA";
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
data Receiver = new DataReceiver();
intentFilter = new IntentFilter(REC_DATA);
getActivity().registerReceiver(dataReceiver, intentFilter);
}
private class DataReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
int data= intent.getIntExtra("data", -1);
// Do anything including interact with your UI
}
}
In you activity:
// somewhere
Intent retIntent = new Intent(RE_DATA);
retIntent.putExtra("data", myData);
sendBroadcast(retIntent);
Very old post, still I dare to add a little explanation that would had been helpful for me.
Technically you can directly set members of any type in a fragment from activity.
So why Bundle?
The reason is very simple - Bundle provides uniform way to handle:-- creating/opening fragment
-- reconfiguration (screen rotation) - just add initial/updated bundle to outState in onSaveInstanceState()
-- app restoration after being garbage collected in background (as with reconfiguration).
You can (if you like experiments) create a workaround in simple situations but Bundle-approach just doesn't see difference between one fragment and one thousand on a backstack - it stays simple and straightforward. That's why the answer by #Elenasys is the most elegant and universal solution. And that's why the answer given by #Martin has pitfalls
If an activity needs to make a fragment perform an action after initialization, the easiest way is by having the activity invoke a method on the fragment instance. In the fragment, add a method:
public class DemoFragment extends Fragment {
public void doSomething(String param) {
// do something in fragment
}
}
and then in the activity, get access to the fragment using the fragment manager and call the method:
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
DemoFragment fragmentDemo = (DemoFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragmentDemo);
fragmentDemo.doSomething("some param");
}
}
and then the activity can communicate directly with the fragment by invoking this method.
the better approach for sending data from activity class to fragment is passing via setter methods. Like
FragmentClass fragmentClass = new FragmentClass();
fragmentClass.setMyList(mylist);
fragmentClass.setMyString(myString);
fragmentClass.setMyMap(myMap);
and get these data from the class easily.
Use following interface to communicate between activity and fragment
public interface BundleListener {
void update(Bundle bundle);
Bundle getBundle();
}
Or use following this generic listener for two way communication using interface
/**
* Created by Qamar4P on 10/11/2017.
*/
public interface GenericConnector<T,E> {
T getData();
void updateData(E data);
void connect(GenericConnector<T,E> connector);
}
fragment show method
public static void show(AppCompatActivity activity) {
CustomValueDialogFragment dialog = new CustomValueDialogFragment();
dialog.connector = (GenericConnector) activity;
dialog.show(activity.getSupportFragmentManager(),"CustomValueDialogFragment");
}
you can cast your context to GenericConnector in onAttach(Context) too
in your activity
CustomValueDialogFragment.show(this);
in your fragment
...
#Override
public void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
connector.connect(new GenericConnector() {
#Override
public Object getData() {
return null;
}
#Override
public void updateData(Object data) {
}
#Override
public void connect(GenericConnector connector) {
}
});
}
...
public static void show(AppCompatActivity activity, GenericConnector connector) {
CustomValueDialogFragment dialog = new CustomValueDialogFragment();
dialog.connector = connector;
dialog.show(activity.getSupportFragmentManager(),"CustomValueDialogFragment");
}
Note: Never use it like "".toString().toString().toString(); way.
just stumbled across this question, while most of the methods above will work.
I just want to add that you can use the Event Bus Library, especially in scenarios where the component (Activity or Fragment) has not been created, its good for all sizes of android projects and many use cases. I have personally used it in several projects i have on playstore.
You can create public static method in fragment where you will get static reference of that fragment and then pass data to that function and set that data to argument in same method and get data via getArgument on oncreate method of fragment, and set that data to local variables.
I ran into a similar issue while using the latest Navigation architecture component. Tried out all the above-mentioned code with passing a bundle from my calling activity to Fragment.
The best solution, following the latest development trends in Android, is by using View Model (part of Android Jetpack).
Create and Initialize a ViewModel class in the parent Activity, Please note that this ViewModel has to be shared between the activity and fragment.
Now, Inside the onViewCreated() of the fragment, Initialize the Same ViewModel and setup Observers to listen to the ViewModel fields.
Here is a helpful, in-depth tutorial if you need.
https://medium.com/mindorks/how-to-communicate-between-fragments-and-activity-using-viewmodel-ca733233a51c
Kotlin version:
In Activity:
val bundle = Bundle()
bundle.putBoolean("YourKey1", true)
bundle.putString("YourKey2", "YourString")
val fragment = YourFragment()
fragment.arguments = bundle
val fragmentTransaction = parentFragmentManager.beginTransaction()
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.your_container, fragment, fragment.toString())
fragmentTransaction.commit()
In the Fragment onCreate():
var value1 = arguments?.getBoolean("YourKey1", default true/false)
var value2 = arguments?.getString("YourKey2", "Default String")
Smartest tried and tested way of passing data between fragments and activity is to create a variables,example:
class StorageUtil {
public static ArrayList<Employee> employees;
}
Then to pass data from fragment to activity, we do so in the onActivityCreated method:
//a field created in the sending fragment
ArrayList<Employee> employees;
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
employees=new ArrayList();
//java 7 and above syntax for arraylist else use employees=new ArrayList<Employee>() for java 6 and below
//Adding first employee
Employee employee=new Employee("1","Andrew","Sam","1984-04-10","Male","Ghanaian");
employees.add(employee);
//Adding second employee
Employee employee=new Employee("1","Akuah","Morrison","1984-02-04","Female","Ghanaian");
employees.add(employee);
StorageUtil.employees=employees;
}
Now you can get the value of StorageUtil.employees from everywhere.
Goodluck!
My solution is to write a static method inside the fragment:
public TheFragment setData(TheData data) {
TheFragment tf = new TheFragment();
tf.data = data;
return tf;
}
This way I am sure that all the data I need is inside the Fragment before any other possible operation which could need to work with it.
Also it looks cleaner in my opinion.
You can make a setter method in the fragment. Then in the Activity, when you reference to the fragment, you call the setter method and pass it the data from you Activity
In your activity declare static variable
public static HashMap<String,ContactsModal> contactItems=new HashMap<String, ContactsModal>();
Then in your fragment do like follow
ActivityName.contactItems.put(Number,contactsModal);
This question already has answers here:
Android: Pass data(extras) to a fragment
(3 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
With Activities, I used to do this:
In Activity 1:
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyFragmentActivity.class);
i.putExtra("name", items.get(arg2));
i.putExtra("category", Category);
startActivity(i);
In Activity 2:
Item = getIntent().getExtras().getString("name");
How do you do this using Fragments? I am using the compatibility library v4 also.
Does it go in the FragmentActivity? Or the actual Fragment?
And Which Method does it go in? onCreate? onCreateView? another?
And can I see example code please?
EDIT: It is worth noting I am trying to keep Activity 1 as an Activity (or actually ListActivity where I am passing the intent of the listitem when clicked) and then pass to a set of tabbed-fragments (through a Fragment Activity) and I need either tab to be able to get the extras. (I hope this is possible?)
you can still use
String Item = getIntent().getExtras().getString("name");
in the fragment, you just need call getActivity() first:
String Item = getActivity().getIntent().getExtras().getString("name");
This saves you having to write some code.
What I tend to do, and I believe this is what Google intended for developers to do too, is to still get the extras from an Intent in an Activity and then pass any extra data to fragments by instantiating them with arguments.
There's actually an example on the Android dev blog that illustrates this concept, and you'll see this in several of the API demos too. Although this specific example is given for API 3.0+ fragments, the same flow applies when using FragmentActivity and Fragment from the support library.
You first retrieve the intent extras as usual in your activity and pass them on as arguments to the fragment:
public static class DetailsActivity extends FragmentActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// (omitted some other stuff)
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
// During initial setup, plug in the details fragment.
DetailsFragment details = new DetailsFragment();
details.setArguments(getIntent().getExtras());
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(
android.R.id.content, details).commit();
}
}
}
In stead of directly invoking the constructor, it's probably easier to use a static method that plugs the arguments into the fragment for you. Such a method is often called newInstance in the examples given by Google. There actually is a newInstance method in DetailsFragment, so I'm unsure why it isn't used in the snippet above...
Anyways, all extras provided as argument upon creating the fragment, will be available by calling getArguments(). Since this returns a Bundle, its usage is similar to that of the extras in an Activity.
public static class DetailsFragment extends Fragment {
/**
* Create a new instance of DetailsFragment, initialized to
* show the text at 'index'.
*/
public static DetailsFragment newInstance(int index) {
DetailsFragment f = new DetailsFragment();
// Supply index input as an argument.
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt("index", index);
f.setArguments(args);
return f;
}
public int getShownIndex() {
return getArguments().getInt("index", 0);
}
// (other stuff omitted)
}
