Android use of static fragments - android

I have GridFragment class, in first screen its implemented with ViewPager using FragmentPagerAdapter. In second screen I have to display it as just grid. I want to know what should I follow ? I have two options to integrate it in second screen,
Call GridFrament class dynamically using FragmentTransaction or
Use it as static fragment by adding fragment tag in xml layout..
Also I have to call some webservices to get the data from server
which will display in grid. Grid item layout is same. So if I use
static fragment way, is it safe to call methods directly using dot
operator on fragment object ? I dont want to use interface just to trigger webservice call.

Try using fragments dynamically using FragmentTransaction and reuse your GridFragment for your multiple implementations. This may be helpful if your application needs to be compatible with different screen sizes and increase flexibility of your application.

how to update a fragment from another fragment

I have fragemnt in which several buttons layaut and picture. In creating this fragment on top of the loaded data. in the lower part of the site for other fragments. One of the fragments contains a list. When I click on an item list, I need to update data on a fragment that contains this fragment. This hour I just create a new fragment the parent with the new parameters derived from the list. But I think it's not right. tell me how to update the fragment.ie I update the data and set to the desired form elements, but how to update the GUI itself
example may be easier
Using Interfaces for InterFragment communication should do the job for you.

Look into the below video, It might help you.
You should add interfaces to the fragment and implement them in your activity. Interfaces are good way to communicate between fragments. Take a look at here. In the implemented interface write code appropriately to change other fragments.

Handling multiple instances of same fragment - android?

Scenario :
I need to create tabs/with fragment, and populate views inside each fragments dynamically. Also user can navigate inside each fragment depending on the server response.
Now what I am trying to do is setting same fragment for all tabs and passing different model data according to the tab content. Its working. When i need to show a details page inside a tab again I am showing same fragment with new data. but it makes issues (view mix up) on other tabs since the container is same.
Can anyone suggest a flow by using single fragment for any new views and i need to pop it out from backstack also.

Android: Different fragment for each ViewPager

In Android, when creating Action Bar Tabs with ViewPager, what's a way of giving different fragment for each ViewPager? Let's say I want the first tab to be login form, the second a signup, in fragment_login.xml and fragment_signup.xml files respectively.
Where/how do I initialize these fragments and show as appropriate tabs are selected? I would prefer to do this all in one Fragment class, instead of creating individually for each one.
If you are using a small number of fragments then you can implement FragmentPagerAdapter. For showing larger number of fragments FragmentStatePagerAdapter is recommended. You can keep all the fragments in one class(Activity class) and make each fragment a subclass of that class but I think having different classes in respective .java files would make your code more elegant.
Initializing the fragment is generally done during fragmentTransaction and appropriate data are passed via Bundle.

Android : Which method is better for navigational Listview (fragment or Listactivity)

I am a novice in developing android app ! I am working with Android Studio!
Want to implement a tab-panel in which some of the tabs (as this) will contain listview to hold some data or image from a json Webservice! While the data comes from internet connectivity so there is performance is a issue for me!
I have got two types of way to implement tabs in android! One is listactivity & other is fragment! I just want to know which of these two way is efficient for implementing tabs on android??
A listActivity is an activity, and you cannot bind a different activity to each tab-panel, but you can put a different fragment on each panel (or use a single container, and just replace the fragments there with transactions).
You can also use another fragment to display the tab-interface at the top, which remains constant as the contents below changes. Something you couldn't do if you were switching activities.

Handling fragment transaction in android.

Hi I am developing android application in which I am using one activity and two fragments. Consider same example which google explain like one list view and detail view. on click of list item we are rendering respective detail fragment.
So I learn how to do fragment transaction and i come up with two solutions. One which is standard way which google explain that make one interface and implement that interface into main activity. And do fragment transaction there inside main activity.
I tried with another way. when I click on list item inside click listener instead of calling interface I change fragment inside my list fragment only and its working fine.
So i want to know what is difference between those to methods. changing fragment from main activity and changing it from fragment only.
What kind of problem i will face if i implement with second method.i.e. changing from fragment only.
Need Help. Thank you.

There isn't an actual problem, it's more of a design discussion. Using the second approach means you're making a very specific fragment, one that on a click on one of its rows will make a transaction with a specific fragment on a specific place of the holder activity. This would be a problem if you plan on reusing this fragment.
Suppose you have this ListFragment and you decided that it should be used in five other activities(with different data). Because it has a very precise action when clicking one of its rows, this fragment will always require the holder activity to have a specific container(where the transaction will be done) along the specific detail fragment with which it was initially used. The problem is that in each of those five activities you may want to use a different fragment when clicking a row of the ListFragment, this would require making changes to the class of the ListFragment.
Now suppose you have the same behavior with the interface approach. As the ListFragment doesn't know or care who handles that click event(as it passes it to whoever registers as the listener) you can simply put the ListFragment in the five activities with no problem(so no changes to it at all). In the interface method of the activity you could then implement the desired behavior with whatever fragment you want and in whatever container setup you want.
