How can I replace fragment inside a fragment?

I have an Activity with a ViewPager, each page of the ViewPager has a Fragment.
Inside my Screen3Fragment I have a LinearLayout (lly_fragments) where I am showing some other fragments. I start by showing the fragment Screen3_1
public class Screen3Fragment extends Fragment {
private FragmentManager manager;
private FragmentTransaction transaction;
public static Screen3Fragment newInstance() {
final Screen3Fragment mf = new Screen3Fragment();
return mf;
}
public Screen3Fragment() {
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_screen3, container, false);
Screen3_1Fragment frag31 = new Screen3_1Fragment();
manager = getChildFragmentManager();
transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.add(R.id.lly_fragments,frag31,"frag31");
transaction.addToBackStack("frag31");
transaction.commit();
return v;
}
}
This works fine without problems. Problem comes when, from within frag31 (which is inside Screen3Fragment), I want to call fragt32, for that I do the following.
public class Screen3_1Fragment extends Fragment {
private ImageButton imgbt_timer;
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_screen3_1,container,false);
imgbt_timer = (ImageButton) v.findViewById(R.id.bT_scr31_timer);
imgbt_timer.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.lly_fragments, new Screen3_2Fragment(), "frag32")
.commit();
}
});
return v;
}
}
As I read in other answers, the line transaction.replaceshould do the trick and replace the existing frag31 by the given frag32 inside the same given container lly_fragments.
However, I get java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No view found for id..... I am not sure why.

getFragmentManager() will return always attributes from parent, in most cases the activities. getChildFragmentManager() wil return parent attributes (in your case, Screen3Fragment attributes). It should be used when you add a fragment inside a fragment.
In your case, Screen3Fragment should be added using getFragmentManager() and Screen3_1Fragment should be added using getChildFragmentManager() because Screen3_1Fragment is Screen3Fragment child. Screen3Fragment is the parent.
I recomand you to use always getFragmentManager() with add method, not replace because your parent will be the same.
getChildFragmentManager() can be used when you add a ViewPager inside a fragment.

You can use the callback, as following :
that worked for me, I hope my answers helps you
1) create a interface
public interface ChangeFragmentListener {
void onChangeFragmentLicked(int fragment);
}
2) implement the interface and transaction methods in your activity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements ChangeFragmentListener {
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction;
Fragment1 fragment1;
Fragment2 fragment2;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2);
fragment1 = new Fragment1();
fragment1.setChangeFragmentListener(this);
fragment2 = new Fragment2();
fragment2.setChangeFragmentListener(this);
initListeners();
}
void changeToFrag1() {
fragmentTransaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.activity_main_fragment_container,fragment1, "");
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
void changeToFrag2() {
fragmentTransaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.activity_main_fragment_container, fragment2, "");
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
#Override
public void onChangeFragmentLicked(int fragment) {
switch (fragment){
case 1:
changeToFrag1();
break;
case 2:
changeToFrag2();
break;
}
}
3) Create object from the interface to handle the callback:
public class Fragment1 extends Fragment {
private ChangeFragmentListener changeFragmentListener;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_fragment1, container, false);
view.findViewById(R.id.fragment1_textView).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
changeFragmentListener.onChangeFragmentLicked(2);
}
});
return view;
}
public Fragment1 setChangeFragmentListener(ChangeFragmentListener changeFragmentListener) {
this.changeFragmentListener = changeFragmentListener;
return this;
}
}

Android - set button text from Fragment in Activity

I created new project with Navigation Drawer Activity template in Android Studio 2.2.2. I decided to use FrameLayout, so as i click on navigation menu item, new fragment loads.
In my content_main.xml i have FrameLayout element like this:
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>
That is Frame where the content will be shown.
Then i have layout fragment_one.xml and its class FragmentOne and they look like this:
fragment_one.xml
<Button
android:text="Default Button"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/mybutton" />
FragmentOne class
public class FragmentOne extends Fragment {
Button btn;
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_one, container, false);
btn = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.mybutton);
return view;
}
public void changeBtnText(String txt)
{
btn.setText(txt);
}
}
In MainActivity's onCreate() method i have code:
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
fm.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, new FragmentOne()).commit();
FragmentOne fragment_obj = (FragmentOne)getSupportFragmentManager().
findFragmentById(R.id.frOne);
fragment_obj.changeBtnText("Changed text");
Here i get error:
Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.example.user.myapplication.FragmentOne.changeBtnText(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference
How I can change fragment's Button text from Main Activity by using changeBtnText(String txt) method?

Call changeBtnText(String txt) inside fragment not in the activity.
EDIT:
inside FragmentOne.class
public FragmentOne newInstance(String text) {
FragmentOne fragmentOne = new FragmentOne ();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt("text", text);
fragmentOne .setArguments(args);
return fragmentOne ;
}
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_one, container, false);
btn = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.mybutton);
String text = getArguments().getString("text", null);
changeBtnText(text);
return view;
}
in the Activity
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
fm.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, FragmentOne.newInstance("text")).commit();

You haven't created the Fragment, which is why it's null. You create a new one in line but don't save it.
Try this;
FragmentOne fragment_obj = new FragmentOne();
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
fm.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, fragmentOne).commit();
fragment_obj.changeBtnText("Changed text");

Android relationships between fragments

I'm using some fragments programmatically in activity. There is one button in my first fragment and when i click to this button, it replaces to second fragment.My second fragment's background is 90% transparent, and when it starts, i can see button which is situated in first fragment, and it also works. I want to stop or do something, because i dont want to see first fragment features and use it.
First Fragment
public class RegistrationFirstFragment extends Fragment {
RegistrationSecondFragment rf;
ImageButton btnNewUser,btnNewAgent;
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
//return super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
View v =inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_registration_first,container,false);
rf = new RegistrationSecondFragment();
btnNewUser = (ImageButton)v.findViewById(R.id.btnNewUserRegistrationFirstFragment);
btnNewAgent = (ImageButton)v.findViewById(R.id.btnNewAgentRegistrationFirstFragment);
btnNewUser.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Transaction completed succesfully", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.flRegistrationFirst, rf);
ft.commit();
}
});
return v;
}
}
Second Fragment
public class RegistrationSecondFragment extends Fragment {
RegistrationFirstFragment rtl;
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
rtl = new RegistrationFirstFragment();
//return super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
View v =inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_registration_second,container,false);
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
// ft.replace(R.id.flRegistrationFirst, rf);
ft.remove(rtl);
ft.commit();
return v;
}
}
Main Activity
public class RegistrationActivity extends AppCompatActivity{
RegistrationFirstFragment fr;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_registration);
fr = new RegistrationFirstFragment();
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.add(R.id.flRegistrationFragment,fr);
ft.commit();
}
}

You can put
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment).commit();
(the parameter fragment would be an instance of your second fragment)
into your onClick(View view){...} method to change the fragment instead of adding it.
Next time code for understanding your problem btw ;)

Add to fragment layout android:clickable="true". Int his way fragment will catch event so the click will not be caught by "main fragment".
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:clickable="true" />

Give android:clickable="true" for Second Fragment root layout parent, when ever fragment opens It catches the click event of root and ignored previous click events.
Second One: If u use replace Fragment it's better than add fragment.
getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace
(R.id.YOUR_CONTAINER, 'FragmentObject').addToBackStack("TAG").commitAllowingStateLoss();

Fragments the right way

I'm trying out some fragments right now. I've got a fragment with a button and when I click that button I switch to another fragment. Now when I push on the back button I return to the first fragment that's good. Now when I click again on that button a new fragment is started. So I always start a new fragment. I think thats not the way it needs to be done. Is there a better way to for example resume the already created fragment?
My code:
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment{
public PlaceholderFragment() {
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
Button test = (Button)rootView.findViewById(R.id.button);
test.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View view)
{
Log.d("Test", "Button clicked.");
TestFrag newFragment = new TestFrag();
FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.container, newFragment);
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit();
}
});
return rootView;
}
}
public static class TestFrag extends Fragment {
public TestFrag() {
Log.d("Test","New fragment");
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main2, container, false);
return rootView;
}
}

When you use the fragment transaction you can specify a tag for the fragment
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.main_fragment, newFragment, fragTag);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
Then later you can find a fragment by tag from the fragmentManager
newFragment = fragMan.findFragmentByTag(fragTag);
if newFragment then is null you should create the Fragment since it wasnt found by the tag

Thanks to Joakim:
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.main_fragment, newFragment, fragTag); fragmentTransaction.commit();
Then later you can find a fragment by tag from the fragmentManager
newFragment = fragMan.findFragmentByTag(fragTag); if newFragment then is null you should create the Fragment since it wasnt found by the tag. If the tag isn't null you can just add and commit the new one.

Replacing a fragment with another fragment of the same class

I have a fragment (let's call it MyFragment) that inflates different layouts according to a parameter passed in the arguments.
All works well if MyFragment is started from a different fragment. But if MyFragment is active and I want to launch a new MyFragment with a different layout parameter, the fragmentManager does not create a new fragment at all.
data.setInt("Layout index",i);
fragmentTab0 = (Fragment) new MyFragment();
fragmentTab0.setArguments(data);
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.fragmentContent, fragmentTab0, "MY");
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
How can I force convince the fragmentTransaction to launch the fragment again?
NOTE: The important point here is I need to inflate again a layout, which is different from the layout inflated before. The code looks like:
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
switch( getArguments().getInt("Layout index") ) {
case 1:
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.firstlayout, container, false);
break;
case 2:
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.secondlayout, container, false);
break;
case 3:
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.thirdlayout, container, false);
break;
default: break;
}

Bypass Solution
Explanation (hoover to see it)
Since the source code for fragmentTransaction.replace/add/remove is
not available I could not find what really happens. But it is
reasonable to think that at some point it compares the current class
name with the replacement class name and it exits if they are the
same.. Thanks to #devconsole for pointing out the source
code. I know now why this happens. The FragmentManager.removeFragment()
method does not reset the fragment state, it remains RESUMED, then the
method moveToState(CREATED) only initilizes a fragment if (f.mState <
newState) = if (RESUMED < CREATED) = false. Else, ergo, it just resumes the fragment.
So to solve this problem I created an almost empty fragment which only purpose is to replace itself with the target fragment.
public class JumpFragment {
public JumpFragment() {
}
#Override
public void onStart() {
Bundle data = getArguments();
int containerId = data.getString("containerID");
String tag = data.getString("tag");
//Class<?> c = data.get???("class");
//Fragment f = (Fragment) c.newInstance();
Fragment f = (Fragment) new MyFragment();
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
f.setArguments(data);
fragmentTransaction.replace(containerId, f, tag);
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
}
And I use it:
data.setInt("Layout index",i);
data.setInt("containerID",R.id.fragmentContent);
data.setString("tag","MY");
fragmentTab0 = (Fragment) new JumpFragment();
fragmentTab0.setArguments(data);
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.fragmentContent, fragmentTab0);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
Now no fragment is replaced by a same class fragment:
MyFragment -> JumpFragment -> MyFragment
I haven't figured out how to pass the class through the arguments bundle, to make it totally generic.

The following worked without problems for me. Notice that I used the Android Support Library.
activity_main.xml:
<RelativeLayout 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=".MainActivity" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_one"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="ONE" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_two"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/button_one"
android:text="TWO" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/main_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/button_one" >
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
MainActivity.java:
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
Fragment fragment = DetailsFragment.newInstance("INITIAL");
transaction.add(R.id.main_container, fragment);
transaction.commit();
}
findViewById(R.id.button_one).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
update("Button 1 clicked");
}
});
findViewById(R.id.button_two).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
update("Button 2 clicked");
}
});
}
protected void update(String value) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
Fragment fragment = DetailsFragment.newInstance(value);
transaction.replace(R.id.main_container, fragment);
transaction.commit();
}
public static final class DetailsFragment extends Fragment {
public static DetailsFragment newInstance(String param) {
DetailsFragment fragment = new DetailsFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putString("param", param);
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
TextView textView = new TextView(container.getContext());
textView.setText(getArguments().getString("param"));
return textView;
}
}
}

Did you try to first remove your fragment with remove(fragMgr.findFragmentByTag("MY"))and then add the new one ?
PS : I assume you don't keep any reference to this fragment.

If I understand you correctly: the fragment you want to replace what is currently being displayed and the user does something to cause it to re-display itself?
If this is correct then have done something similar this way:
public class MyFragment extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
final View V = inflater.inflate(R.layout.myLayout, container, false);
// Call method that fills the layout with data
displayData(V);
// Put a listener here that checks for user input
Button redisplayButton = (Button) V.findViewById(R.id.my_button);
// if the button is clicked....
redisplayButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v){
//
// do some stuff
//
// ....then eventually...
displayData(V);
}
});
return V;
}
Later on you can have the displayData() method that defines what the fragment displays....
public void displayData(View V){
// Do something
return;
}
Hope this helps!
