How can I pass data between fragments when using tab navigation? - android

I'm using tab navigation in my app. Each tab has a form that preforms similar tasks, so I'm using the same fragment but simply hiding/showing bits of it. It appears that the ViewPager is instantiating 3 different copies of the fragment, and then switching between them when the user changes tabs. Since all the fragments are the same, I'd like to pass the state of the fields between them. This way when a user changes to a different tab, the information they filled in on the previous tab is present on the new tab.
Is there a preferred method to passing data in this way?
The dumbed down code looks like this...
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements ActionBar.TabListener {
SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;
ViewPager mViewPager;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getFragmentManager(), this);
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);
mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
});
for (int i = 0; i < mSectionsPagerAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
actionBar.addTab(
actionBar.newTab()
.setText(mSectionsPagerAdapter.getPageTitle(i))
.setTabListener(this));
}
}
#Override
public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
mViewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
}
public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
private Context context;
public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm, Context context) {
super(fm);
this.context = context;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
// Show 3 total pages.
return 3;
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
Locale l = Locale.getDefault();
switch (position) {
case 0:
return getResources().getString(R.string.tab_one_title);
case 1:
return getResources().getString(R.string.tab_two_title);
case 2:
return getResources().getString(R.string.tab_three_title);
}
return null;
}
}
public class MainFragment extends Fragment {
private static final String ARG_SECTION_TYPE = "section type";
public MainFragment(){}
public MainFragment(int sectionNumber) {
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt(ARG_SECTION_TYPE, sectionNumber);
setArguments(args);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
//setup the view
switch(getArguments().getInt(ARG_SECTION_TYPE)) {
//hide or show fields based on page number.
}
return rootView;
}
}
}
If the user modifies a field on page 1, i'd like the information to also show up on page 2, and page 3. What's the preferred method to accomplish this?

Data-Push Method: LocalBroadcastManager
Each fragment registers a broadcastReceiver, and when data changes broadcast it to all registered receivers. It's the sender of the data that decides when the receiving objects are updated.
For an example of implementing a LocalBroadcastManager: how to use LocalBroadcastManager?
Data-Pull Method: Central repository.
Send the data to an intermediary object (the central repository) to store the data. Then each fragment can poll the object whenever it needs to be updated with the latest data.
In this case, the activity would reference the object, and each fragment would call to the repository by ((MyInterface) getActivity).mDataObject.data....

How to send data between fragments in Android?

I'm trying to make an Android app with a tabbed form. One tab for Autonomous, and the other for TeleOp.
The TeleOp tab needs to be able to read data from the Autonomous tab, but I'm having trouble passing data from one to the other, while I'm switching from the first tab to the next.
They're both fragments, with one parent, called the Match Form. I'm not entirely sure what to do, so here is my code:
MatchForm.java

public static String startingPos;

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_match_form);

setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
// Create the adapter that will return a fragment for each of the three
// primary sections of the activity.
mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
// Set up the ViewPager with the sections adapter.
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.container);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);
tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
mViewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tabLayout));
tabLayout.addOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.ViewPagerOnTabSelectedListener(mViewPager));
tabLayout.addOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
#Override
public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
}
#Override
public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
}
#Override
public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
}
});
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_match_form, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);

There are many ways to pass the data.One easy and efficient way to implement.create a public class in your package.In that class declare your values as static.
public class MyDataClass {
public static String value1;
public static String value2;
}
Now you can access these values from anywhere either in the fragment or activity.
you can pass the values like this
MyDataClass myobj=new MyDataClass();
myobj.value1="Hello";
To fetch the value in another class use
String val=myobj.value1;
You can pass the data from Autonomous Fragment to the parent activity first and then pass it to the Teleop Fragment.
You can use Intents for this.
How to pass values between Fragments
Or use a custom listener to notify the other fragment once the data is sent.
1. Do you really need ViewPager here?
ViewPager is needed if you want to display multiple fragments at the same time. On my opinion, the fragments in ViewPager must be equal and independent. If you want to keep communication between Fragments in ViewPager you can:
Use EventBus or LocalBroadcastManager, etc.;
Cache Fragment inside ViewPager in this way
2. Maybe you need flow?
If you want implement some fragment flow, for example "PickGoods" -> "GoodsCheckout", it is better to use fragment transactions and pass arguments with Bundle. For example, pass selected goods ids from "PickGoods" to "GoodsCheckout".
Note. You can't pass really big amount of data. But it is enough for large set of ids.
3. One more solution.
If your flow belongs to separate activity, which is going to be killed, after final action in flow (it is important to avoid memory leaks) you can use ViewModel attached to activity and store data in it. You can get ViewModels attached to activity from its fragments:
ViewModelProviders.of(getActivity()).get(DataViewModel.class);

SlidingTabLayout and Actionbar title

I'm using a SlidingTabLayout (from the Google sources) in my app to navigate between different fragments.
I can swipe between contents just fine, but the problem I'm facing is the title of the Action bar that is acting weird.
Suppose that I have two tabs with two titles ('First Title' and 'Second Title') :
| Action bar |
| First Title | Second Title |
When I first enter the Fragment containing the SlidingTabLayout, the title of the Actionbar is like this :
| Firs... |
| First Title | Second Title |
When I swipe (to the second tab for example), the title of the actionbar becomes :
| Second Title |
| First Title | Second Title |
And stays like this. It seems that the Actionbar takes the title of the last Fragment loaded when I swipe at least once.
What I want is this :
I want to show a 'Main Title' in the Actionbar that never changes no matter what the title in the SlidingTabLayout is.
Here are some portions of my code:
** Fragment containing the SlidingTabLayout:
private String mainTitle;
....
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstance) {
super.onCreate(savedInstance);
// The mainTitle is given to this fragment by another fragment
Bundle args = getArguments();
if (args != null) {
mainTitle = args.getString("TITLE");
}
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout, container, false);
mViewPager = (ViewPager) rootView.findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
mSlidingLayout = (SlidingTabLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.sliding_layout);
List<Fragment> listFragments = new ArrayList<>();
List<String> listTitles = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < mSize; i++) {
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
....
listFragments.add(Fragment.instanciate(getActivity(), CustomFragment.class.getName(), bundle));
listTitles.add("...");
}
mViewPager.setAdapter(new PagerAdapter(getChildFragmentManager(), listFragments, listTitles));
mSlidingLayout.setDistributedEvenly(true);
mSlidingLayout.setViewPager(mViewPager);
return rootView;
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
// I TRY TO SET THE TITLE HERE !!
getActivity().getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mainTitle);
}
** Adapter:
class PagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
List<Fragment> fragments;
List<String> titles;
...
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
Fragment fragment = fragments.get(position);
return fragment;
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
// maybe the problem is in this method.
// this method is supposed to provide the titles for the tab
// but maybe it's also changing the actionbar title
return titles.get(position);
}
I'm setting the title of the ActionBar in the onResume method every time I enter a Fragment.
Thanks !
EDIT 1 :
I tried using the new SlidingTabLayout which I've got from the Google I/O, and the result is still the same !
It seems that the Title in the ActionBar is a hint at first, and then it changes to the last loaded fragment when I swipe to another fragment.
It's like it's loading fragment, and each time a fragment is loaded, the title in the ActionBar is overridden with the title of that fragment.
EDIT 2 :
I changed my code to post the latest version of it (I'm using now a SlidingTabLayout) and to show how I get my mainTitle.
you can use below code it works fine for me
public class MatchesActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener {
SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;
ViewPager mViewPager;
FloatingActionButton skipButton;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_matches);
final ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
// Set up the ViewPager with the sections adapter.
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
skipButton = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.skip_next);
skipButton.setVisibility(View.GONE);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);
mViewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(1);
mViewPager.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
return false;
}
});
mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
});
actionBar.addTab(
actionBar.newTab().setText("MATCHES")
.setTabListener(this));
actionBar.addTab(
actionBar.newTab().setText("PINS")
.setTabListener(this));
actionBar.addTab(
actionBar.newTab().setText("CHATS")
.setTabListener(this));
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
startActivity(new Intent(MatchesActivity.this, MainActivity.class).addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK & Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP));
MatchesActivity.this.finish();
}
#Override

int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == android.R.id.home) {
onBackPressed();
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

mViewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
}
#Override
public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
#Override
public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override

I am posting here a code of mine.It worked for me.Make required changes in it and try it.I used PagerSlidingTabStrip library in it.
public class DealFragment extends Fragment {
#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
View view= inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_deal, container, false);
ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) view.findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
viewPager.setAdapter(new SampleFragmentPagerAdapter(getChildFragmentManager()));
PagerSlidingTabStrip tabsStrip = (PagerSlidingTabStrip)view.findViewById(R.id.tabs);
tabsStrip.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#333333"));
// Attach the view pager to the tab strip
tabsStrip.setViewPager(viewPager);
return view;
}
public class SampleFragmentPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
final int PAGE_COUNT = 2;
private final String tabTitles[] = new String[] { "Today's Deals", "Deals Close By" };
public SampleFragmentPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return PAGE_COUNT;
}
#Override
public android.support.v4.app.Fragment getItem(int position) {
if(position==0)
{
return new TodaysDeal();
}
else
{
return new DealsCloseBy();
}
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
// Generate title based on item position
return tabTitles[position];
}
}
}
hope it might help you.
The actionBar title doesn't change because onResume() is not called the time you swipe back.
It's because ViewPager doesn't call fragment's onResume the second time. Even though in reality the fragment is resumed.
What you can do is to move the setting of your actionbar title in your parent fragment (that contains pagertabstrip) to onCreateView instead.
For your reference:
** Fragment containing the PagerTabStrip:
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout, container, false);
mViewPager = (ViewPager) rootView.findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
List<Fragment> listFragments = new ArrayList<>();
List<String> listTitles = new ArrayList<>();
...
// HERE's what you want
final ActionBar actionBar = getActivity().getSupportActionBar();
if (actionBar != null) {
actionBar.setTitle(R.string.main_title);
}
mViewPager.setAdapter(new PagerAdapter(getChildFragmentManager(), listFragments));
return rootView;
}
Found it !
It was really dumb of me (it explains why others didn't have this problem)
I was setting the title also in each of the Fragments (even those contained in the Tabs), so when I swiped, the onResume on those Fragments was called and it changed the title in the ActionBar...
Thank you all for the help, I appreciate it !

Change Fragment with ViewPager

I am using PagerSlidingTab Library for ViewPager. And I want to change Fragment while scrolling of tabs. It is working fine. Check out my code.
I am using AsynTask() on each Fragment.
When the App opens with the MainActivity, First Fragment is attached to the activity, But It shows two AsynTask() dialog message, one from First and another from Second Fragment. And When I scroll to second tab, It shows dialog message of Third Fragment.
So, If I scroll from left to right in tabs, the Fragment right to the current fragment is displayed and if i scroll from right to left, the Fragment left to the current Fragment is displayed.
Please help me to solve the problem.
My Code:
public class PageSlidingTabStripFragment extends Fragment {
public static final String TAG = PageSlidingTabStripFragment.class
.getSimpleName();
public static PageSlidingTabStripFragment newInstance() {
return new PageSlidingTabStripFragment();
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setRetainInstance(true);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.pager, container, false);
}
#Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
PagerSlidingTabStrip tabs = (PagerSlidingTabStrip) view
.findViewById(R.id.tabs);
ViewPager pager = (ViewPager) view.findViewById(R.id.pager);
MyPagerAdapter adapter = new MyPagerAdapter(getChildFragmentManager());
pager.setAdapter(adapter);
tabs.setViewPager(pager);
}
public class MyPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public MyPagerAdapter(android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
private final String[] TITLES = { "Instant Opportunity", "Events",
"Experts" };
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
return TITLES[position];
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return TITLES.length;
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
switch (position) {
case 0:
return new InstantOpportunity();
case 1:
return new Events();
case 2:
return new Experts();
default:
break;
}
return null;
}
}
}
Explanation:
It turns out there is an easier implementation for scrollable tabs which doesn't involve another library. You can easily implement tabs into your app using normal Android code straight from the default SDK.
The Code
Main Class:
public class PageSlidingTabStripFragment extends Fragment {
//Variables
private ViewPager viewPager;
private PagerTitleStrip pagerTitleStrip;
public PageSlidingTabStripFragment() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
#Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
}
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
//Find your pager declared in XML
viewPager = (ViewPager) getView().findViewById(R.id.pager);
//Set the viewPager to a new adapter (see below)
viewPager.setAdapter(new MyAdapter(getFragmentManager()));
//If your doing scrollable tabs as opposed to fix tabs,
//you need to find a pagerTitleStrip that is declared in XML
//just like the pager
pagerTitleStrip = (PagerTitleStrip)
getView().findViewById(R.id.pager_title_strip);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.[your layout name here], container, false);
}
}
Adapter:
//Note: this can go below all of the previous code. Just make sure it's
//below the last curly bracket in your file!
class MyAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
public MyAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int arg0) {
Fragment fragment = null;
if (arg0 == 0) {
fragment = new InstantOpportunity();
}
if (arg0 == 1) {
fragment = new Events();
}
if (arg0 == 2) {
fragment = new Experts();
}
return fragment;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return 3;
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
if (position == 0) {
return "Instant Opportunity";
}
if (position == 1) {
return "Events";
}
if (position == 2) {
return "Experts";
}
return null;
}
}
Conclusion:
I hope this helps you understand another way to make scrollable tabs! I have examples on my Github Page about how to make each type (That being Fixed or Scrollable).
Links:
Fixed Tabs Example - Click Here
Scrollable Tabs Example - Click Here
Hope this helps!
Edit:
When asked what to import, make sure you select the V4 support fragments.
please use this example..its very easy.i already implement that.
reference link
hope its useful to you.its best example of pager-sliding-tabstrip.
Use
framelayout compulsory:
FrameLayout fl = new FrameLayout(getActivity());
fl.addView(urFragementView);
and then set your fragement view in this framelayout.

Refresh Fragment Views based on Button Click

I have 2 fragments (tabs) that share some data. When one changes the data, I'd like to have that reflected on the other tab. I researched this on stackOverflow and I think the relevant answer has to do with a .notifyDataSetChanged() call, but I can't make it work. Here's the relevant code...
public class EnterCourseData extends FragmentActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener {
private ViewPager viewPager;
private TabsPagerAdapter mAdapter;
private ActionBar actionBar;
// Tab titles
private String[] tabs = { "Pars", "Handicaps" };
private int courseNumber, teeNumber;
private Tee tee;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_enter_tees);
// Initilization
Intent mIntent = getIntent();
courseNumber = mIntent.getIntExtra("courseNumber",0);
Course course = Global.getCourse(courseNumber);
teeNumber = mIntent.getIntExtra("teeNumber",0);
tee = course.getTee(teeNumber);
viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
actionBar = getActionBar();
mAdapter = new TabsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), courseNumber, teeNumber);
viewPager.setAdapter(mAdapter);
actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(false);
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
// Adding Tabs
for (String tab_name : tabs) {
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText(tab_name)
.setTabListener(this));
}
/**
* on swiping the viewpager make respective tab selected
* */
viewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
// on changing the page
// make respected tab selected
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
#Override
public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2) {
}
#Override
public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0) {
}
});
}
and further down, here is the onClick method that necessitates the refresh...
public void savePars(View view){
tee.setSlope(Integer.parseInt(((EditText) findViewById(R.id.enter_tee_slope)).getText().toString()));
tee.setRating(Double.parseDouble(((EditText) findViewById(R.id.enter_tee_rating)).getText().toString()));
mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
Here is the TabsPagerAdapter...
public class TabsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
int courseNumber, teeNumber;
public TabsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm, int courseNumber, int teeNumber) {
super(fm);
this.courseNumber = courseNumber;
this.teeNumber = teeNumber;
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int index) {
switch (index) {
case 0:
// Par Entry activity
Fragment parFragment = new ParFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt(ParFragment.ARG_COURSE_NUMBER, courseNumber);
args.putInt(ParFragment.ARG_TEE_NUMBER, teeNumber);
parFragment.setArguments(args);
return parFragment;
case 1:
// Handicap Entry fragment activity
Fragment hcpFragment = new HandicapFragment();
args = new Bundle();
args.putInt(HandicapFragment.ARG_COURSE_NUMBER, courseNumber);
args.putInt(HandicapFragment.ARG_TEE_NUMBER, teeNumber);
hcpFragment.setArguments(args);
return hcpFragment;
}
return null;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
// get item count - equal to number of tabs
return 2;
}
}
Here is one Fragment...
public class ParFragment extends Fragment {
public static final String ARG_COURSE_NUMBER = "courseNumber", ARG_TEE_NUMBER = "teeNumber";
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_par, container, false);
Bundle args = getArguments();
Course course = Global.getCourse(args.getInt(ARG_COURSE_NUMBER));
((TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.display_course_name)).setText(course.getName());
Tee tee = course.getTee(args.getInt(ARG_TEE_NUMBER));
((TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.display_tee_name)).setText(tee.getTeeName());
((TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.enter_tee_slope)).setText(Integer.toString(tee.getSlope()));
((TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.enter_tee_rating)).setText(Double.toString(tee.getRating()));
return rootView;
}
}
And here is the other...
public class HandicapFragment extends Fragment {
public static final String ARG_COURSE_NUMBER = "courseNumber", ARG_TEE_NUMBER = "teeNumber";
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_handicap, container, false);
Bundle args = getArguments();
Course course = Global.getCourse(args.getInt(ARG_COURSE_NUMBER));
((TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.display_course_name)).setText(course.getName());
Tee tee = course.getTee(args.getInt(ARG_TEE_NUMBER));
((TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.display_tee_name)).setText(tee.getTeeName());
((TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.enter_tee_slope)).setText(Integer.toString(tee.getSlope()));
((TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.enter_tee_rating)).setText(Double.toString(tee.getRating()));
return rootView;
}
}
When the button is clicked, I want to save the values and I want these values to show up on the other fragment.
Help a noob out.
Thanks
You need to communicate between fragments, but a fragment cannot directly communicate with other fragment, all the communication should be done through the activity which holds these fragments.
The steps to follow are :
Define an Interface in the fragment where you have implemented the onClickListener (let it be Fragment A)
Implement the Interface in the activity which holds these fragments
In the method overridden, retrieve the fragment instance from the viewpager adapter and deliver a message to Fragment B by calling it's public methods.
refer this answer to retrieve fragment instance from adapter
For more details about Communicating with Other Fragments, refer here
So there is a trick: just let the fragments have the object reference of one another and call the other's function to load data when you handle the onClickListener of the button.
E.g:
protected void onClickListener(View view) {
if (view == myButton) {
// Do other stuffs here
fragment1.reloadData();
}
}
P/S : I re-post this as answer to have the code formatter.

Android: "Navigation Type: Fixed Tabs + Swipe"

I'm trying to use Tabs + Swipe in an App and want to use the Navigation Type "Fixed Tabs + Swipe" which the ADT provides me when creating an Activity.
Sooo now the ADT spits out nice Code, which I slightly modified...
I completely understand the code and what's going on... But how can I teach the App to use my three Fragments instead of the stupid Dummy Frag? :(
I cannot find any tutorial which deals with the ADTs "Navigation Types"...
Thanks for your help!
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener {
SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;
ViewPager mViewPager;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Set up the action bar.
final ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
// Create the adapter that will return a fragment for each of the three
// primary sections of the app.
mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
// Set up the ViewPager with the sections adapter.
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);
// When swiping between different sections, select the corresponding
// tab. We can also use ActionBar.Tab#select() to do this if we have
// a reference to the Tab.
mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
});
//Adding Tabs
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText("Tab 1").setTabListener(this));
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText("Tab 2").setTabListener(this));
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText("Tab 3").setTabListener(this));
}
#Override
public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
// When the given tab is selected, switch to the corresponding page in
// the ViewPager.
mViewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
}
#Override
public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab,FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
#Override
public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab,FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
// getItem is called to instantiate the fragment for the given page.
// Return a DummySectionFragment (defined as a static inner class
// below) with the page number as its lone argument.
Fragment fragment = new DummySectionFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt(DummySectionFragment.ARG_SECTION_NUMBER, position + 1);
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
// Show 3 total pages.
return 3;
}
}
public static class DummySectionFragment extends Fragment {
/**
* The fragment argument representing the section number for this
* fragment.
*/
public static final String ARG_SECTION_NUMBER = "section_number";
public DummySectionFragment() {
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main_dummy,container, false);
TextView dummyTextView = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.section_label);
dummyTextView.setText(Integer.toString(getArguments().getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER)));
return rootView;
}
}
}
a switch-case to set the fragments is easy and makes it really clear. Let each of your fragment inflate the root view in your xml
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int index) {
Fragment fragment = null;
switch(index){
case 0:
fragment = new Fragment1();
break;
case 1:
fragment = new Fragment2();
break;
case 2:
fragment = new Fragment3();
break;
default:
break;
}
//set args if necessary (which it isn't?)
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt(ObjectFragment.ARG_OBJECT, index + 1);
fragment.setArguments(args);
//return fragment
return fragment;
}
But how can I teach the App to use my three Fragments instead of the stupid Dummy Frag?
You will notice that DummySectionFragment is referenced in getItem() of the SectionsPagerAdapter:
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
// getItem is called to instantiate the fragment for the given page.
// Return a DummySectionFragment (defined as a static inner class
// below) with the page number as its lone argument.
Fragment fragment = new DummySectionFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt(DummySectionFragment.ARG_SECTION_NUMBER, position + 1);
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
If you want to use different fragments, modify getItem() to return the fragment you want, given the supplied position (0-based page number).
