Android- FragmentTransaction.replace() works only once

I'm using a navigation drawer along with a SwipeRefreshLayout for the main content and when the user selects a menu item in the navigation drawer, I want to replace the fragment inside the SwipeRefreshLayout with another fragment.
This is what my onNavigationItemSelected() looks like:
// Handle navigation view item clicks here.
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
selectedNavItem = item.getItemId();
if(selectedNavItem == R.id.nav_files){
filesFragment = new FilesFragment();
fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = fm.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.swipeLayout,filesFragment,"files");
transaction.commit();
} else if(selectedNavItem == R.id.nav_accounts){
accountsFragment = new AccountsFragment();
fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = fm.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.swipeLayout,accountsFragment,"accounts");
transaction.commit();
}
return true;
But this never works. When I click an item in the nav drawer, the fragment is replaced by a blank screen. My onCreate method also uses FragmentTransaction.replace() but that seems to work fine.
I also tried FragmentTransaction.remove() and then FragmentTransaction.add() but even that doesn't seem to work.
Edit: Layout files:
Layout of the content view of the navigation drawer:
<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:context="com.harshallele.cloudpool.MainActivity"
tools:showIn="#layout/app_bar_main"
android:id="#+id/swipeLayout">
</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>
This is included inside another layout file which contains a CoordinatorLayout containing the toolbar.That file, in turn, is inside the main layout file of the activity inside a android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
(Basically, this is the Navigation Drawer Activity provided by Android Studio when adding an Activity)
Layout for FilesFragment:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".fragments.FilesFragment">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/fileListView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
/>
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/itemsLoadingProgress"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:indeterminateOnly="true"
android:visibility="invisible"
/>
</FrameLayout>
Layout for AccountsFragment(this is just the default blank fragment, because i haven't finished this yet):
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.harshallele.cloudpool.fragments.AccountsFragment">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="#string/hello_blank_fragment" />
</FrameLayout>
Edit 2:
AccountsFragment:
public class AccountsFragment extends Fragment {
public AccountsFragment() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_accounts, container, false);
}
}

With just this bit of code we can't help you so much. The problem can be that:
The FilesFragment and AccountsFragment aren't initialized in the right way;
The Layout with id swipeLayout can have visibility = gone;
The Layout of FilesFragment and AccountsFragment can be empty;
This are just some of the infinite reason why your code doesn't work properly so please share more code about the two Fragments and relative XML.

Load content of Navigation drawer item and ViewPagerStrip item on same container - Android

I am developing an application, It has an Activity(MainActivity.java) ,I integrated Navigation Drawer over it ,when I click navigation drawer item then the content of navigation drawer item loads on the <framelayout /> ,after that I integrated tabs at bottom on the same page (MainActivity.java) using ViewPagerStrip ,Now Problem is that :
When I click on Navigation drawer item and tabs item the content of Navigation Drawer item and ViewPagerStrip item is not being loaded on the same container ,How can I load content of both (tabs item and drawer item ) on the same container (Framelayout or ViewPager) .
I have following code in MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//Set activity_main.xml
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//Create tabs at bottom using ViewPagerStrip
mCustomPagerAdapter = new CustomPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), this);
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mCustomPagerAdapter);
//Create NavigationDrawer .
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
}
//Click on Drawer menus
private class SlideMenuClickListener implements ListView.OnItemClickListener {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
long id) {
// display view for selected nav drawer item
displayDrawerItem(position);
}
}
private void displayDrawerItem(int position) {
// update the main content by replacing fragments
Fragment fragment = null;
switch (position) {
case 0:
fragment = new HomeFragment();
break;
case 1:
fragment = new FindPeopleFragment();
break;
//Other fragments goes here .
default:
break;
}
if (fragment != null) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.frame_container, fragment).commit();
// update selected item and title, then close the drawer
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
mDrawerList.setSelection(position);
setTitle(navMenuTitles[position]);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
} else {
// error in creating fragment
Log.e("MainActivity", "Error in creating fragment");
}
}
}
I have following code in my activity_main.xml
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:listSelector="#drawable/list_selector"
android:background="#color/list_background"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
My own efforts
I tried to solve this problem with different-2 approaches
1 . I put <ViewPager > inside <framelayout > and tried to load click events of navigation item and tabs item on the ViewPager .
2 . I removed <framelayout > and tried to load click events of navigation and tabs items both on the ViewPager .
3 . I follow many Stackoverflow links ,tutorials regarding ViewPagerStrip and DrawerLayout , tried to search how to load click events of drawer item and tabs item on the same container .
Edit
public class CustomPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
Context mContext;
private String[] tabs = {"Trails", "Breweries", "Near By", "Events"};
public CustomPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fragmentManager, Context context) {
super(fragmentManager);
mContext = context;
}
#Override
public android.support.v4.app.Fragment getItem(int position) {
// Create fragment object
android.support.v4.app.Fragment fragment = new DemoFragment();
// Attach some data to the fragment
// that we'll use to populate our fragment layouts
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putString("page_name", tabs[position]);
// Set the arguments on the fragment
// that will be fetched in the
// DemoFragment#onCreateView
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return tabs.length;
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
return tabs[position];
}}
public class DemoFragment extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout resource that'll be returned
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_tab, container, false);
// Get the arguments that was supplied when
// the fragment was instantiated in the
// CustomPagerAdapter
Bundle args = getArguments();
((TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.textView)).setText(args.getString("page_name"));
return rootView;
}}

Here when you click to tab set the frame_container visibility gone and when you click on navigation drawer item make the frame_container visibility visible.
Hope this will help.

fragment not shown on top in activity

i want to show a fragment when i click a item into my action bar, in code i do that:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.create_boundary:
Fragment boundary = new BoundaryFragment();
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.map_activity, boundary);
ft.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE);
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();
break;
}
}
and the fragment:
public class BoundaryFragment extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// create the view of the fragment associate with the maps activity
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.boundary_maps, container, false);
return view;
}
fragment's layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GridLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</GridLayout>
activity_map.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/map_activity"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<fragment
android:id="#+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment" />
</RelativeLayout>
onCreate of mapsActivity:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
[...]
}
i don't understand why is not shown.Can someone tell me what's is wrong?
thanks in advance.

As stated in the official documentation for FragmentTransaction.replace(int,Fragment,String):
Parameters
- containerViewId Identifier of the container whose
fragment(s) are to be replaced.
- fragment The new fragment to place in
the container.
- tag Optional tag name for the fragment, to later
retrieve the fragment with FragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(String).
That means you are using the id in the transaction incorrectly. Also you may want to add the BoundaryFragment on top of the one defined in the XML layout, therefore you should use FragmentTrasaction.add(int, Fragment) instead.
To fix your problem anyway you should move your id to the RelativeLayout, as below:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/map_activity"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<fragment android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment" />
</RelativeLayout>

First, you are using a Fragment as it would be a ViewGroup. You’re trying to place a Fragment inside another Fragment when you perform the next statement:
ft.replace(R.id.map_activity, boundary);
Second, you can’t replace a fragment that has been defined in the layout file. You can only replace fragments that you added dynamically using FragmentTransaction.
To achieve what you want, take a look at the sample code under the section:
"Or, programmatically add the fragment to an existing ViewGroup."

Cardslib Fragment not responding when interacted in Navigation Drawer

The fragment I'm having problems with is using a CardListView from the Cardslib library. I added the fragment dynamically to the container and everything is working as expected, except it isn't responding when it is interacted with. This means it doesn't scroll, I can't press on any of the cards, and anything else related to the problem.
Adding fragment to container in MainActivity:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Code here...
NoteFragment nf = new NoteFragment();
// nf.setArguments(getIntent().getExtras());
FragmentTransaction tx = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
tx.add(R.id.container, nf);
tx.commit();
}
Replaces container fragment when Navigation Drawer is used in MainActivity. Default case selected is NoteFragment.
#Override
public void onNavigationDrawerItemSelected(int position) {
// update the main content by replacing fragments
Fragment fragment = null;
switch(position) {
case 0:
onSectionAttached(0);
fragment = new NoteFragment();
break;
case 1:
onSectionAttached(1);
fragment = new ArchiveFragment();
break;
case 2:
onSectionAttached(2);
fragment = new TrashFragment();
break;
}
FragmentTransaction tx = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
tx.replace(R.id.container, fragment);
tx.commit();
}
NoteFragment returning inflated layout:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// CardListView Code Here...
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_note, container, false);
}
Container XML (activity_main.xml):
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout

Any help is appreciated.

I fixed it! The Cardslib piece of code in onCreateView() was moved to onStart(), and it fixed the unresponsiveness.

Android fragment activity layout not finding view in multi-pane layout with findViewById

findViewById(R.id.team_detail_container) is failing to find the view. Is my problem with the xml or in the way I am constructing the FragmentActivity? How do I solve this?
To support a customised list for a fragment in the constructor of my fragment activity I have replaced
setContentView(R.layout.activity_team_list);
with
frag=(TeamListFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(android.R.id.content);
if (frag==null) {
frag=new TeamListFragment();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(android.R.id.content, frag).commit();
So that my class now looks like this
public class TeamListActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity implements
TeamListFragment.Callbacks {
private boolean mTwoPane;
private TeamListFragment frag=null;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
frag=(TeamListFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(android.R.id.content);
if (frag==null) {
frag=new TeamListFragment();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(android.R.id.content, frag).commit();
}
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
if (findViewById(R.id.team_detail_container) != null) {
Log.i("####", "Team Detail Container has been found! Yaay!");
mTwoPane = true;
((TeamListFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(
R.id.team_list)).setActivateOnItemClick(true);
}
}
The if (findViewById(R.id.team_detail_container) != null) { condition is never met despite the fact that team_detail_container exists in the xml file that is used
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/team_list_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:showDividers="middle"
tools:context=".TeamListActivity" >
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/team_list"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:paddingLeft="8dp"
android:paddingRight="8dp">
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="false" />
<TextView android:id="#id/android:empty"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="No data"/>
</LinearLayout>
<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="?android:attr/listDivider"
/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/team_detail_container"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="3" />
</LinearLayout>
I know that this particular layout xml is being used as changes I make to the xml file are reflected in the app.
I also know that the condition is never met as I never get the log message Log.i("####", "Team Detail Container has been found! Yaay!"); and the behaviour get is that when an item is selected the list view is replaced with the detail fragments instead of the detail fragments being displayed next to the list view because the item selected conditions are not being met
#Override
public void onItemSelected(int id) {
if (mTwoPane) {
// mTwoPane is never set! Why?
Bundle arguments = new Bundle();
arguments.putInt(TeamDetailFragment.ARG_ITEM_ID, id);
TeamDetailFragment fragment = new TeamDetailFragment();
fragment.setArguments(arguments);
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.team_detail_container, fragment).commit();
} else {
// In single-pane mode, simply start the detail activity
// for the selected item ID.
Intent detailIntent = new Intent(this, TeamDetailSwipeActivity.class);
detailIntent.putExtra(TeamDetailFragment.ARG_ITEM_ID, id);
startActivity(detailIntent);
}
}

The fragment doesn't get added to your layout tree immediately after committing the transaction. You'll have to wait till onViewCreated on the fragment was called. You could probably access the view within the onStart-Method of your Activity, but it would probably be a better idea to keep that logic within the fragment itself. The Activity shouldn't be concerned with what views are contained in a fragment.

I think the issue is you're looking for the Fragment from the Activity, but since you're not using setContentView, the Activity doesn't actually have a View to look through. Try getting the view from the Fragment instead using the getView() method.
