Android Fragment Button

I am creating a simple application which will have a bottom navigation view.
This will take the user between various categories. This has been setup with Fragments and a case system
I then want buttons on these category pages which take you to other pages with the navigation at bottom of each of the pages.
When I put my button code I used on the previous version of this application it fails saying
error: cannot find symbol method findViewById(int)
After some reading I can see this doesnt work with fragments but I cant find anything clear or easy to understand as to how to make these work.
In short, i would like the nav panel to stay constant on any page i load not just the category pages i have listed in the panel.
Any of the letter pages and other links from buttons need to open in the panel above the nav bar but i have no clue how to implement this.
Any help would be ... helpful. I have spent about 12 hours trying various things with no avail.

});

Button balwenLeft, balwenRight;
FragmentManager fragmentManager;
Fragment fragment;
public Timeline() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
public static Timeline newInstance(String param1, String param2) {
Timeline fragment = new Timeline();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putString(ARG_PARAM1, param1);
args.putString(ARG_PARAM2, param2);
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (getArguments() != null) {
mParam1 = getArguments().getString(ARG_PARAM1);
mParam2 = getArguments().getString(ARG_PARAM2);
}
fragmentManager = this.getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, final ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
final LinearLayout l = (LinearLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_colours, container, false);
fragment = new FirstPageOnBreedFragment();
FragmentTransaction transaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.channelactivitycontainer, fragment).commit();
balwenLeft = (Button) l.findViewById(R.id.btnLeft);
balwenLeft.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
fragment = new AnotherFragmentWithInBreedFrag();
FragmentTransaction transaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.frame_container, fragment).commit();
}
});
balwenRight = (Button) l.findViewById(R.id.btnRight);
balwenRight.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View view) {
fragment = new AnotherFragmentWithInBreedFrag();
FragmentTransaction transaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

}
});
return l;
So this looks like what you might want to do, what's actually happening is that from each fragment as a category, you will create the custom navigations buttons on the layouts and when calling it from the fragment,
Don't forget that you will need to inflate the layouts of the fragment like i did, the parent layout of the fragment layout is LinearLayout in my case, so if you're using Relating layout or Coor... just change them respectively, and back to the navigations, what's happening is that I'm hard coding it but you can replace it with your switch case function that's actually simpler, so if you're on BreedsFragment, You will have two Buttons that will help you navigate between the pages in BreedFrag... In general we're just replacing whatever is present in frame_container just like the bottom nav does, same thing happens when you click the buttons but in this case you'r still on the same page breedFrag, and note that i'm assuming the those pages are also fragements. I hope you understand, else if you can share your code on gitHub I can help contribute to it.

Android studio 2.2.3 back button activity

I have created a demo app which comprises menu drawer and the tabbed activity in a same window by using drawer layout.The problem is when i select the fragments in the drawer menu it redirects its relevant fragment page but when tap back button the tabbed activity automatically disappeared and my app came out.how do i fix this issue? this is my main activity code
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.design.widget.NavigationView;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;

mNavigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.shitstuff) ;
/**

*/
mFragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
mFragmentTransaction = mFragmentManager.beginTransaction();
mFragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.containerView,new TabFragment()).commit();
/**

*/
mNavigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();
if (menuItem.getItemId() == R.id.nav_item_income) {

}
if (menuItem.getItemId() == R.id.nav_item_expence) {

R.string.app_name);
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
}
This is my tab activity
package com.example.arunbhaskar.seconddemo;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;

*/
tabLayout.post(new Runnable() {

}
});
return x;
}
class MyAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public MyAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
/**

*/
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position)
{
switch (position){
case 0 : return new Pie chart();
case 1 : return new Graph();
case 2 : return new Transaction();
}
return null;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return int_items;
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
switch (position){
case 0 :
return "pie-chart";
case 1 :
return "Graph";
case 2 :
return "Transactions";
}
return null;
}
}
}

First add your fragment in backStack:
if (menuItem.getItemId() == R.id.nav_item_income) {
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = mFragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null) //this line is needed
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.containerView,new IncomeFragment()).commit();
}
Now in your activity: overWrite the onBackPressed() method
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
if (fm.getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
Log.i("MainActivity", "popping backstack");
fm.popBackStack();
} else {
Log.i("MainActivity", "nothing on backstack, calling super");
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setMessage("Are you sure you want to exit?")
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
finishAffinity();
}
})
.setNegativeButton("No", null)
.show();
}
}

when you call any fragment you have to add that. Like below
mFragmentTransaction.addToBackStack("your_fregment_tag").commit();
and when backpress. This code
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
try {
int backStackEntryCount = getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount();
if (mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.END)) {
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.END);
return;
} else {
if (backStackEntryCount == 0) { // last fragment
android.app.AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog = new android.app.AlertDialog.Builder(DashboardActivity.this);
alertDialog.setTitle("Exit");
alertDialog.setMessage("Are you sure you want to Exit?");
alertDialog.setPositiveButton("YES",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
//finish();
//System.exit(0);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
finishAffinity();
}else{
finish();
System.exit(0);
}
}
});
alertDialog.setNegativeButton("NO",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
alertDialog.show();
return;
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
super.onBackPressed();
}
try using backStack. you have to trigger it. Please check my code

Create an onbackpress function your main activity
for example like this
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (count == 1) {
if (exit) {
super.onBackPressed();
return;
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "Press Back again to Exit.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
exit = true;
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
exit = false;
}
}, 2000);
}
}else {
toolbar.setTitle("Home");
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();
count=1;
display(0);
}
}
set count of your home fragment as "1" and other intger for other fragments

update your NavigationItemSelectedListener with this.
mNavigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();
if (menuItem.getItemId() == R.id.nav_item_income) {
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = mFragmentManager.beginTransaction();
IncomeFragment fragment = new IncomeFragment();
String fragClassName = fragment.getClass().getName();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.containerView, fragment).addToBackStack(fragClassName).commit();
}
if (menuItem.getItemId() == R.id.nav_item_expence) {
FragmentTransaction xfragmentTransaction = mFragmentManager.beginTransaction();
TabFragment fragment = new TabFragment();
String fragClassName = fragment.getClass().getName();
xfragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.containerView, fragment).addToBackStack(fragClassName).commit();
}
return false;
}
});

I didn't understand if that actually what you trying to do but as i understood if you want the TextView moves automatically in one line to show the rest of it make this:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:freezesText="true"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:singleLine="true" />
and in code after defining it's view make this:
textView.setChecked(true);

fragments - how to use them with activities that require actions?

First - apologies for the newbie question.
I'm trying to implement a Navigation Drawer that will be used across my app. To start, I've followed the Android tutorial and created a basic navigation which changes a with Fragments.
I can pass a framelayout id and fragment to FragmentTransaction. It works great.
I decided to create a new login activity with the default android files (In Android Studio: going to new - activity - login activity ). This is what's confusing me. My questions are:
Can I create a fragment of the login activity where the actions in LoginActivity will work? It looks like the fragment will create a view based on the layout passed, but the methods used in LoginActivity won't work?
If creating a fragment does not work for the login activity, what would be the cleanest way to ensure the navigation works when switching activities? The Navigation Drawer only works when on the main activity; switching to other activities (via Intent) causes the app to lose the navigation drawer actions. The image of the actionbar/navigation drawer remains.
Here's some of my code in MainActivity ... maybe I'm missing something that is causing the navigation drawer to stop functioning when switching activities by Intent?
(Note: LoginActivity extends MainActivity in the LoginActivity class)
Thanks in advance for any direction / advice!
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

EDIT
Thanks for your help so far in guiding me with my issue.
Unfortunately I don't think I'm asking the right question, but maybe viewing the LoginActivity code from Android Studio would help.
This is part of LoginActivity:
public class LoginActivity extends MainActivity implements LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> {
private UserLoginTask mAuthTask = null;
// UI references.
private AutoCompleteTextView mUserIDView;
private EditText mPasswordView;
private View mProgressView;
private View mLoginFormView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
// Set up the login form.
mUserIDView = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.email);
populateAutoComplete();
mPasswordView = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password);
mPasswordView.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView textView, int id, KeyEvent keyEvent) {
if (id == R.id.login || id == EditorInfo.IME_NULL) {
attemptLogin();
return true;
}
return false;
}

[continued]...........
I'll create a simple fragment of LoginActivity called menu1_Fragment:
public class menu1_Fragment extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment {
View rootview;
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
rootview = (ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_login, null);
return rootview;
}
}
If i'm correct (hopefully I'm wrong!) the fragment is replaced with the View (menu1_Fragment). The View cannot have actions (like clicking the login button to send a httppost request).
Also, could you explain why onOptionsItemSelected in MainActivity breaks the navigationdrawer (drawer becomes unclickable. also cannot swipe right to pull it up). Intent launches an activity (LoginActivity), but only the drawer in apperance shows.

to hide also ActionBar icons you can do like:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// toggle nav drawer on selecting action bar app icon/title
if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
// Handle action bar actions click
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_settings:
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
To replace main fragment when you click an item from the drawable menu list i see you have used selectItem(position) method, however that method is never declared on your code. To do that also you can do something like:
private void selectItem(int position){
// update the main content by replacing fragments
Fragment fragment = null;
switch (position) {
case 1:
fragment = new TestFragment();
break;
case 2:
fragment = new TestFragment2();
break;
default:
break;
}
if (fragment != null) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment).commit();
// update selected item and title, then close the drawer
setTitle(navMenuTitles[position]);
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
mDrawerList.setSelection(position);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
} else {
// error in creating fragment
Log.e("MainActivity", "Error in creating fragment");
}
}

I am giving you a example with multiple activities defined as fragment and called using MainActivity, Hope you will get your solution among it..
MainActivity.java
package com.example.fragmentdemo1;
import java.util.ArrayList;

lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
list.add("First");
list.add("Second");
list.add("Third");
list.add("Forth");
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.replace(R.id.container, f1).commit();
break;
case 1:
Fragment2 f2 = new Fragment2();
FragmentTransaction transaction2 = getSupportFragmentManager()
.beginTransaction();
transaction2.addToBackStack(null);
transaction2.replace(R.id.container, f2).commit();
break;
case 2:
Toast.makeText(activity, "" + position, 1000).show();
Fragment3 f3 = new Fragment3();
FragmentTransaction transaction3 = getSupportFragmentManager()
.beginTransaction();
transaction3.addToBackStack(null);
transaction3.replace(R.id.container, f3).commit();
break;
case 3:

}
}
#Override

// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
switch (id) {
case android.R.id.home:
finish();
break;
default:
break;
}
return false;
}
}
Fragment1.java
package com.example.fragmentdemo1;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Fragment1 extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment{
TextView tv;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup view,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
tv =(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
view = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment1, null);
return view;
}
}
Fragment2.java
package com.example.fragmentdemo1;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Fragment2 extends Fragment {
TextView tv;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup view,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
tv =(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.textView2);
view = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment2, null);
return view;
}
}
Fragment3.java
package com.example.fragmentdemo1;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Fragment3 extends Fragment {
TextView tv;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup view,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
tv =(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.textView3);
view =(ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment3, null);
return view;
}
}
Fragment4.java
package com.example.fragmentdemo1;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Fragment4 extends Fragment{
TextView tv;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup view,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
tv =(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.textView4);
view = (ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment4, null);
return view;
}
}
NOTE : If you want to use method from Fragment class to MainActivity, then you can make it public static, and you can use that method directly by it's class name like Fragment1.countData().
This demo also apply for Navigation drawer.

Android save the user input in a several fragments

I want to save the user input of several fragments, i try with the method onSaveInstanceState to save the state and the method onActivityCreated to restore the data, my source is:
package com.example.recepcionauto.app;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.EditText;
/**
* A simple {#link android.support.v4.app.Fragment} subclass.
*
*/
public class Cliente extends Fragment {
private EditText txtRut;
String rut = null;
public Cliente() { }
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_cliente, container, false);
}
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedState);
if (savedState != null) {
// Restore last state for checked position.
rut = savedState.getString("rut");
txtRut = (EditText) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.txtRut);
txtRut.setText(rut);
Log.v("Log", "Recuperando del Bundle");
}
}
#Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
outState.putString("rut", rut);
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
Log.v("Log", "Guardando en el Bundle");
}
#Override
public void onPause( ) {
Bundle outState = new Bundle( );
outState.putString("rut", rut);
super.onPause();
Log.v("Log", "Se ejecuto onPause( )");
}
}
this is my activity, is a view with listview and fragmentlayout

}
#Override

}
}
What is wrong?, the onSaveInstanceState not work, i try with putSerialize and nothing, please i appreciate your cooperation

If what you want to save is the Fragment state as is, take a look at this other answer, which is more an explanation than an example. You should be using the putFragment and getFragment methods from your getSupportFragmentManager() instance.
I recognize I've been a little late using these two bad boys on my own, but they're quite useful. Let me give you a hint on where to add them:
putFragment
Inside your Principal activity, add this directly in your onSaveInstanceState method. One call per fragment you want to save:
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
Cliente fragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.myFragment);
getSupportFragmentManager().putFragment(outState, "cliente", fragment);
}
getFragment
You can (and should, actually) use getFragment inside the onCreate. Use the already passed savedInstanceState variable, and slightly change the way you init the fragment:
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = fm.beginTransaction();
Fragment startFragment = null;
if(savedInstanceState == null) { // first open
startFragment = new Cliente( );
} else { // rotation, change where the fragment was already there
startFragment = fm.getFragment(savedInstanceState, "cliente");
}
transaction.add(R.id.myFragment,startFragment);
transaction.commit();
