Prevent specific fragment within viewpager from refreshing - android

I have several fragments within a viewpager, and the first fragment (TimelineFragment) is being replaced whenever the user chooses to browse a different community.
I'm able to successfully change the TimelineFragment when I changed my FragmentPagerAdapter to FragmentStatePagerAdapter since FragmentPagerAdapter does not update the fragment even when I use pagerAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged()
Hence, I used FragmentStatePagerAdapter with the following code:
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return fragmentList.get(position);
}
public void setItem(int position, Fragment fragment) {
fragmentList.set(position, fragment);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return fragmentList.size();
}
#Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
return PagerAdapter.POSITION_NONE;
}
The problem is whenever I move to a fragment, that fragment is being refreshed. Which makes my recyclerview within each fragment reload all lists and go to the top of that list.
My goal here is that when the user has chosen to view a different community, the timeline fragment (ALONE, hopefully exluding other fragments) will be the only fragment to reload, and load the respective list based on the chosen community.

the method onCreateView in fragment calls each time you move between 3 fragments in view pager. so the solution is:
1- add static boolean loaded=false; in your fragment
2- before calling the code that refreshes the recyclerview or any code you don't want to call add
if(!loaded){
//your code
...
loaded=true;
}

dynamically modifying list of Fragments while using ViewPagerAdapter

I have a ViewPager and ViewPagerAdapter as defined below:
private static class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
#Override
public int getCount() {
return fragments.size();
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return fragments.get(position);
}
#Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
return POSITION_NONE;
}
}
Within my activity I am populating fragments array which is my list of Fragments which I can view by scrolling horizontally:
// populate fragments
fragments.add(....);
pager_adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
view_pager.setAdapter(pager_adapter);
All this works fine. But, now I have a situation where in at run time I have to add one more fragment to this list and then refresh the view so that the new fragments becomes visible too upon scrolling. For this I added the following code inside my activity:
public static void addPageAndRefresh(Page page) {
fragments.add(PinFragment.newInstance(fragments.size(), true, page, book, false, false, null));
pager_adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
After this, I do get a new fragment, but it is not the one which I added, its a copy of the last fragment in the last before calling notifyDataSetChanged().
Is this the correct way of doing this? It looks like although the fragments array is updated properly, but the view is not picking up the updated array. But, if it isn't then I shouldn't be seeing the new fragment after scrolling.
I tried similar requirement as yours with a FragmentStatePagerAdapter which worked fine. May be you would want to try it.
To add the new fragment:
SIZE = SIZE +1;
adapter.instantiateItem(viewPager, SIZE-1);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
In getItem(), for the "position" create and return the new fragment (I used a switch statement here)
Update the getCount() method to return the new SIZE.
Let me know if you would like me to share the code.

How to make button visible only after viewpager page loaded completly?

I am new in view pager.i have 2 pages in view pager..each contain button..i want show button after page fully loaded.Now button is showing half scrolling it self..
class MyPageAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
private List<Fragment> fragments;
public MyPageAdapter(FragmentManager fm, List<Fragment> fragments) {
super(fm);
this.fragments = fragments;
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return this.fragments.get(position);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return this.fragments.size();
}
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
return POSITION_NONE;
}
adding page
pageAdapter = new MyPageAdapter(activity.getSupportFragmentManager(), fragments);
viewpager.setId(position);
viewpager.setAdapter(pageAdapter);
fragment:
public class secondclass extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_secondclass, container, false);
return rootView;
}
please help me..
Just use OnPageChangeListener.
Actually you need to do some tedious tasks for this to be done.
First your activity containing the viewpager should have a way to communicate with the fragments of the viewpager. once you are done with this.
Then set OnPageChangeListener on the viewpager
and one of the overridden callback methods would be the following one
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
// you know the position now. send the message to the fragment at this position to show the button or do any particular task
}
you are all set to go
In viewpager nearby fragments are loaded even before they are actually visible to the user, this is done so as to provide a smooth scrolling effect.
So onCreateView and onResume methods of the second fragment is already called...even before the user scrolls to the second page.
So to do something exactly when the user loads a page completely we need to user the onPageSelected method and with the help of the position argument we notify the fragment at that position to do the tasks.
In your case show the button...so you need to set visibility of the button INVISIBLE in the layout and make it visible when the page is selected.
For the above thing to work your activity needs to have a reference to the fragment...or you may request the viewpageradapter to provide you the reference by doing a bit caching of the current fragment...apply any logic of yours.
Assume all your fragments are of type MyFragment and have a method doVisibleTask to make the button visible AND getItem of your view pager adapter returns the same instance everytime for a particular position.
you could do the following
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
// get the reference to the fragment
MyFragment mf = (MyFragment)viewPagerAdapter.getItem(position);
mf.m=doVisibleTask();
// you know the position now. send the message to the fragment at this position to show the button or do any particular task
}

Replace a fragment within a Viewpager(notifyDataSetChanged does not work)

My MainActivity contains a viewPager.
In the MainActivity.java, I set the adapter for viewpager. The adapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter. The fragment I want to replace is a
cameraFragment. So when the user clicks on the switch camera button, I want to now show the camera fragment, this time with a front camera on.
On clicking the switch Camera button, I remove the fragment from the arraylist of fragments I had passed to the custom adapter. I add the new fragment and call notifydatasetchanged. However, this does not result in the new fragment being added. How do I achieve dynamic replacement of fragments within a viewpager which is backed my a custom fragment state pager adapter?
Code :
mainPageFragments = new ArrayList<>();
mainPageFragments.add(new ResultsFragment_());
mainPageFragments.add(DemoCameraFragment_.newInstance(false));
pagerAdapter = new MainViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(),mainPageFragments);
To replace the fragment : On receiving the related event I do,
mainPageFragments.remove(1);
if (event.getCameraState().equals(CameraSwitchButton.CameraTypeEnum.BACK)) {
mainPageFragments.add(DemoCameraFragment.newInstance(false));
} else {
mainPageFragments.add(DemoCameraFragment.newInstance(true));
}
// Not Working...
pagerAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
Adapter Code :
public class MainViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
ArrayList<Fragment> fragmentsArray;
public MainViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm, ArrayList<Fragment> fragmentsArray) {
super(fm);
this.fragmentsArray = fragmentsArray;
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return fragmentsArray.get(position);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return fragmentsArray.size();
}
#Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
return super.getItemPosition(object);
}
}
Your MainViewPagerAdapter.getItemPosition is the cause of your issue.
Default implementation always returns POSITION_UNCHANGED. For pager to remove your fragment you have to return PagerAdapter.POSITION_NONE for the fragments that are removed.
Additionally your current design contradicts with the idea of FragmentStatePagerAdapter. From the FragmentStatePagerAdapter documentation: "This version of the pager is more useful when there are a large number of pages, working more like a list view. When pages are not visible to the user, their entire fragment may be destroyed, only keeping the saved state of that fragment. This allows the pager to hold on to much less memory associated with each visited page as compared to FragmentPagerAdapter at the cost of potentially more overhead when switching between pages."
Your current implementation holds all fragments in an array, and so defeats this mechanism. Correct implementation would be to create fragments in MainViewPagerAdapter.getItem method and let the adapter to handle fragments lifecycles as needed.
Thanks to #Okas. I made the following change to getItemPosition within my FragmentStatePagerAdapter subclass.
#Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
if (object instanceof DemoCameraFragment_)
return POSITION_NONE;
return super.getItemPosition(object);
}
I added logs to the OnCreate of both my fragments to confirm if they were getting recreated or not. As per my requirement, only the second fragment is recreated.

Dynamically changing fragment contents in a ViewPager

I have:
A ViewPager with a FragmentPagerAdapter on (or a FragmentStatePagerAdapter, doesn't really solve my problem).
A fixed number of fragments. They all share the same layout, but have TextViews that need to be set differently;
An AsyncTask that queries my database and retrieves content to be set into the TextViews.
So my code was:
public class StatsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
static final int FRAGMENT_COUNT = 5;
private Parameters[] sectionData;
public StatsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager manager) {
super(manager);
this.sectionData = new Parameters[FRAGMENT_COUNT];
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return StatsSectionFragment.getInstance(this.sectionData[position]);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return FRAGMENT_COUNT;
}
public void setSectionData(int position, Parameters sectionData) {
this.sectionData[position] = sectionData;
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
So I'm passing sectionData[position] to the getInstance() method of my generic sub-fragment. That data should differentiate each instance of the fragments loaded into the ViewPager.
At first I'll be passing an empty reference, but then in my async class:
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Parameters... sectionValues) {
super.onProgressUpdate(sectionValues);
mPagerAdapter.setSectionData(sectionId, sectionValues[0]);
}
That should call the setSectionData() above, update sectionData[position] and generate a call to notifiyDataSetChanged(). I was hoping that doing so would make the adapter retrieve all its items again, thus calling getItem() again, and loading new fragments.
Sadly it does not. So right now:
if fragments (i.e., getItem()) are created before my async task result are published, that item will stay empty (i.e.,visible fragment, but with empty text views since I never called getInstance(non-null stuff).
That happens for fragment 0 && fragment 1.
if fragments are created after my async task has ended (fragment 2 to end, because getItem() is called only when you reach that fragment by swiping), then the first and only call to getItem() produces a getInstance(non-null stuff), and that's ok.
How can I reload content into those already-there fragments, or force the adapter to call getItem() and update its views?
Add this to your adapter:
#Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object){
return PagerAdapter.POSITION_NONE;
}
This make your adapter call getItem again when you call notifyDataSetChanged();

How to replace fragment in viewpager after instantiation?

I understand that the offscreen page limit for a viewpager must be at least 1. I am trying to dynamically change the fragments in my viewpagers as I am constantly grabbing information from a server.
For example, I have Fragments A, B, C instantiated when I am viewing Fragment B.
I want to change Fragment A's info, so I update it and call notifyDataSetChanged(). I have not created a new Fragment and inserted it in its place, but changed the imageview associated with the original fragment.
However, once I try to navigate to A, I run into an error saying "Fragment is not currently in the FragmentManager "
Can anyone explain to me how I'd be able to jump back and forth between immediate pages in a viewpager while allowing these pages to change their views?
I didn't do that, but my suggestion will be not to try to. Android does a lot of magic under the hood, and it is very possible you'll face a lot of issues trying to implement what you want. I had an experience with ListView when I was trying to save contentView for each list item, so that Android will render them only once, after the whole day I gave up the idea because every time I've changed the default behavior, something new came up (like exceptions that views are having two parents). I've managed to implement that, but the code was really awful.
Why don't you try, for example, save the image you've downloaded on the disc, and retrieve if when fragment actually appears on the screen ? Picasso library could help in this case
To do that, you should create a FragmentPagerAdapter that saves references to your pages as they are created. Something like this:
public class MyPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
SparseArray<Fragment> registeredFragments = new SparseArray<Fragment>();
public MyPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
switch (position)
{
case 0:
return MyListFragment.newInstance(TAB_NAME_A);
case 1:
return MyListFragment.newInstance(TAB_NAME_B);
case 2:
return MyListFragment.newInstance(TAB_NAME_C);
default:
return null;
}
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
// Show 3 total pages.
return TOTAL_PAGES;
}
#Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
Fragment fragment = (Fragment) super.instantiateItem(container, position);
registeredFragments.put(position, fragment);
return fragment;
}
#Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
registeredFragments.remove(position);
super.destroyItem(container, position, object);
}
public Fragment getRegisteredFragment(int position) {
return registeredFragments.get(position);
}
}
You can access a particular page like this:
((MyListFragment) myPagerAdapter.getRegisteredFragment(0)).updateUI();
Where updateUI() is a custom method that updates your list on that page and calls notifyDataSetChanged().
