android actionbar tab viewpage AsyncTask first tab is empty when started

it is a few days I try to solve this problem whitout success. Please help me.
I use the tabs navigation with viewpager.There are four fragments. I use async task for download the data I need to put in the view. when the app is started, the first fragments is ampty. But when i swipe to the second or the third, they have data. if i swipe from the second to the first, it has data too. so i guess i may be something wrong with notifyDataSetChanged, but i tried and it doesnt work.

You are using FragmentPagerAdapter please change it to FragmentStatePagerAdapter and run again
Difference between FragmentPagerAdapter and FragmentStatePagerAdapter
About FragmentPagerAdapter Google's guide says:
This version of the pager is best for use when there are a handful of typically more static fragments to be paged through, such as a set of tabs. The fragment of each page the user visits will be kept in memory, though its view hierarchy may be destroyed when not visible. This can result in using a significant amount of memory since fragment instances can hold on to an arbitrary amount of state. For larger sets of pages, consider FragmentStatePagerAdapter.
And about FragmentStatePagerAdapter:
This version of the pager is more useful when there are a large number of pages, working more like a list view. When pages are not visible to the user, their entire fragment may be destroyed, only keeping the saved state of that fragment. This allows the pager to hold on to much less memory associated with each visited page as compared to FragmentPagerAdapter at the cost of potentially more overhead when switching between pages.

Android how to know when your tab has gained focus,

I have a tab view in my activity,
Currently I am doing a UI update in my fragments onCreateView but I don't think this is the correct place.
Is there a method I can overload which will be called when my tab gains view? So that when my user clicks on or scrolls to my tab, I can then poll my server and update my view.
Some simplified code:
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
public class Rhino68PanelActivity extends FragmentActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener {
static String TAG = "Rhino68PanelActivty";
/**
* The {#link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter} that will provide
* fragments for each of the sections. We use a
* {#link android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter} derivative, which
* will keep every loaded fragment in memory. If this becomes too memory
* intensive, it may be best to switch to a
* {#link android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter}.
*/
SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;
/**
* The {#link ViewPager} that will host the section contents.
*/
ViewPager mViewPager;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_rhino68_panel);
// 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);
}
});
// For each of the sections in the app, add a tab to the action bar.
for (int i = 0; i < mSectionsPagerAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
// Create a tab with text corresponding to the page title defined by
// the adapter. Also specify this Activity object, which implements
// the TabListener interface, as the callback (listener) for when
// this tab is selected.
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText(mSectionsPagerAdapter.getPageTitle(i)).setTabListener(this));

Problem 1: know which tab has focus
Solution: setOnPageChangeListener on your ViewPager. With the received index, you know which tab is active.
Problem 2: how to execute a method from the active page (fragment)
Solution:
create a public method in your viewpager adapter: onNewTabSelected(int index)
create your tab fragment accessible in your adapter (private MyTabFragment tabFragment;)
with the index, you know which Fragment you should use
create a public method in your Fragment
execute this method in the new created method inside your adapter

You can update your view in each SectionFragment by using:
#Override
public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {
super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);
if (isVisibleToUser) { }
else { }
}
#see: How to determine when Fragment becomes visible in ViewPager

Android replace Fragments

I want to replace a Fragment by a new Fragment when an onClick method is called. I wanted to do it this way:
FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.remove(this);
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.add(new ChooseCocktailFragment(), null);
transaction.commit();
The only thing that happens is the current Fragment is removed and the new one doesn't show. What am I doing wrong here?
Also, I use a ViewPager and this is the first time for me working with fragments. Usually I would have a Container with its ID but here the ViewPager contains the fragments, therefore I don't know how to use the transaction.replace(...) method.

You should use a FragmentPagerAdapter which is adequate to put Fragments inside ViewPagers.
A complete tutorial from android developer here
EDIT:
First of all, you need to override the getItemPosition of the adapter, and return the POSITION_NONE constant in order to be able to replace pager's fragments.
#Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object)
{
return POSITION_NONE;
}
Then create a listner for handling fragment switching:
public interface MyListener
{
public void onFragmentChange();
}
Your adapter should implements the listner and add some code inside onFragmentChange() method:
public class TabsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
private FragmentManager fm;
public TabsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
this.fm = fm;
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int index) {
switch (index) {
case 0:
fragment1 = TopRatedFragment.newInstance(this);
return fragment1;
case 1:
// ...
return fragment2;
case 2:
// ...
return fragment3;
case 3:
// ...
return fragment4;
}
return null;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
// get item count - equal to number of tabs
return 4;
}
public void onFragmentChange(){
fm.beginTransaction().remove(fragment1).commit();
fragment1 = NewFragment.newInstance();
notifyDataSetChanged(); // notify the viewpager adapter that content has changed
}
}
Pass an instance of the listner in the fragment you want to remove/replace later :
public class TopRatedFragment extends Fragment {
public static TopRatedFragment newInstance(MyListner listner) {
this.myListner = listner;
return new TopRatedFragment ();
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_top_rated, container, false);
return rootView;
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// some logical here ... and when you want to change fragment do this
myListner.onFragmentChange();
}
}
Here is some more explanation of this.
You should also read about FragmentStatePagerAdapter : here
Hope it helps !

You forget hide your fragment after another fragment is added up on your fragment.
Just add more a statement transaction.hide(Your_Fragment) before transaction.commit()

#mansoulx
Here is my code which my answer refers to. Since i implemented it using a tutorial it is very similiar, just Tab names and the content of the tabs changed. I also have 4 tabs, not three - but the problem would be the same:
TabsPagerAdapter.java
public class TabsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public TabsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int index) {
switch (index) {
case 0:
return new Fragment1();
case 1:
return new Fragment2();
case 2:
return new Fragment3();
}
return null;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
// get item count - equal to number of tabs
return 3;
}
}
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements
ActionBar.TabListener {
private ViewPager viewPager;
private TabsPagerAdapter mAdapter;
private ActionBar actionBar;
// Tab titles
private String[] tabs = { "Tab1", "Tab2", "Tab3" };
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Initilization
viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
actionBar = getActionBar();
mAdapter = new TabsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
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));
}
#Override
public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
}
#Override
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// on tab selected
// show respected fragment view
viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
}
#Override
public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
}
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) {
}
});
let's say all Fragments would look like this:
Fragment1.java
public class TopRatedFragment extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_top_rated, container, false);
return rootView;
}
}
The thing which should be done now is:
Replace Fragment1 on Tab1 with FragmentNew which should appear in Tab1 too! The OnClick-Event takes place in the fragment1.java for example...

How to update listview in fragment when back to previous fragment inside viewpager

Well, Consider I have have two fragments FragmentTab1 & ShowAllContactFragment. FragmentTab1 consists a list-view & and a button. When the button is clicked I replace ShowAllContactFragment in my viewpager. When shows ShowAllContactFragment, user can select several contacts by selecting check-box in a list-view & it also has a ADD contact button.
What I need: I want to update existing listview in FragmentTab1 , when user pressing ADD button in ShowAllContactFragment, after selecting some contacts in this list-view. I also remove ShowAllContactFragment, and show FragmentTab1 when this will occur.
My Solving Status: I follow the the android developers forum to communicate data between fragment via Activity. I'm almost done. I create Interface OnContactSelectedListener in ShowAllContactFragment & Implements in MainActivity. Everything is ok! . After debugging, I check my callback methods that I have data in MainActivity but I can't replace the ShowAllContactFragment & can't show the previous fragment FragmentTab1 & update it's list-view.
To open ShowAllContactFragment from FragmentTab1, I wrote like:
ShowAllContactFragment allContactsFragment = new ShowAllContactFragment();
FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager()
.beginTransaction();
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.add(R.id.fragmentTabLayout1, allContactsFragment);
transaction.commit();

Hope, Somebody help me.

Your question is not very clear especially the part about how you handle those fragments. Like when you're showing the ShowAllContactFragment fragment in which layout do you put it? From the code you posted it seems you're blindly adding the ShowAllContactFragment fragment directly in the layout containing the ViewPager which isn't right.
Related to the error, you get a reference to one of the fragments already managed by the FragmentManager through the adapter of the ViewPager and then you retry to add it in a transaction, action which will fail. If you're trying to show the previous shown FragmentTab1 fragment, after showing and working with the ShowAllContactFragment fragment, you should try simply removing the last recorded action of the FragmentManager through one of its popBackStack...() methods.
Edit: I looked at your code but what you're doing is still ambiguous. I've looked at the layout for the main activity but you don't have a container with the id R.id.fragment_all_contacts_layout so I'm assuming you're somehow trying to insert the new FragmentTab1 in the layout of the old FragmentTab1 which really doesn't make any sense(not to mention you add the ShowAllContactFragment to a container with the id R.id.fragmentTabLayout1 which I also can't see). Anyway, I'm assuming that you want the ShowAllContactFragment to replace the FragmentTab1 from the ViewPager. For this you'll need a wrapper fragment to hold the two nested fragment and also enable the communication between them. For example the wrapper fragment:
public static class WrapperFragment extends Fragment implements
OnContactSelectedListener {
private static final String TAG_FIRST = "tag_first";
private static final String TAG_SECOND = "tag_second";
private static final int CONTENT_ID = 1000;
private FragmentTab1 mFrag1;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
FrameLayout content = new FrameLayout(getActivity());
content.setId(CONTENT_ID);
if (getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(TAG_SECOND) == null) {
mFrag1 = (FragmentTab1) getChildFragmentManager()
.findFragmentByTag(TAG_FIRST);
if (mFrag1 == null) {
mFrag1 = new FragmentTab1();
getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(CONTENT_ID, mFrag1, TAG_FIRST).commit();
}
}
return content;
}
#Override
public void onContactSelected(List<Person> contactNumberlist) {
getChildFragmentManager().popBackStackImmediate();
mFrag1.updateFragment1(contactNumberlist);
}
public void showPickerfragment() {
getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(CONTENT_ID, new ShowAllContactFragment())
.addToBackStack(null).commit();
}
}
This will be the fragment that you'll use in the ViewPager's adapter instead of the FragmentTab1 fragment. Notice that it implements the OnContactSelectedListener interface. You'll also need to make some changes to other parts of the code:
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (v == layoutCallLog) {
dialog.dismiss();
// make the wrapper fragment to open the ShowAllContactFragment fragment
((WrapperFragment) getParentFragment()).showPickerfragment();
// rest of the code
The ShowAllContactFragment will need to be modified to send the selection event to the wrapper fragment which implements its interface:
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (v == btnAdd) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "" + blockListedPersonList.size(),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
((OnContactSelectedListener) getParentFragment())
.onContactSelected(blockListedPersonList);
}
}
And in the main activity to handle the BACK button when the ShowAllContactFragment is showing in the ViewPager:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (mViewPager.getCurrentItem() == 0) { // I assumed 0 is the position in the adapter where the WrapperFragment will be used
Fragment targetPage = getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentByTag("android:switcher:" + PAGER_ID + ":" + 0); // PAGER_ID is the id of the ViewPager
if (targetPage.getChildFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
targetPage.getChildFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}
return;
}
super.onBackPressed();
}
Keep in mind that you'll need to save the data of the nested fragments.

I used FragmentActivity and ViewPager in differents projects and there are two solutions:
1: You can use onHiddenChanged(boolean hidden) method on your FragmentTab1.
override fun onHiddenChanged(hidden: Boolean) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (!hidden) {
// check if personList size is changed
// and then call updateFragment1() methode
}
super.onHiddenChanged(hidden)
}
2: Use a static method: you can ake updateFragment1() method static so when user pressing "ADD", call updateFragment1().
Hope it helps.

FragmentPagerAdapter getItem error with ListFragment

I've looked at quite a lot of code and can't figure this out. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/FragmentPagerAdapter.html
It has to be something simple.
I'm showing most of the code. The error is in the next section.
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements
ActionBar.TabListener {
public static final int TAB_COUNT = 3;
public static InputMethodManager inputManager;
SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;
ViewPager mViewPager;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(
getSupportFragmentManager());
// Set up the action bar.
final ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);
// When swiping between different sections, select the corresponding
// tab.
mViewPager
.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
});
// For each of the sections in the app, add a tab to the action bar.
for (int i = 0; i < mSectionsPagerAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab()
.setText(mSectionsPagerAdapter.getPageTitle(i))
.setTabListener(this));
}
// To control keyboard pop-up
inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab,
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
#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 onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab,
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
This is where my error is.
case 1 of getItem, Type mismatch: Cannot convert from MainActivity.HistoryFragment to Fragment. it is telling me to either change method return type to HistoryFragment or change return type of newInstance() to Fragment. Where I can't do either. Other examples I've seen look almost identical to my code. I have tried with and without passing an argument.
public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int i) {
switch (i) {
case 0:
Fragment tipCalc = new TipCalcFragment();
return tipCalc;
case 1:
// Fragment history = new HistoryFragment();
return HistoryFragment.newInstance(i); //ERROR HERE
case 2:
Fragment stats = new StatsFragment();
return stats;
}
return null;
}
And my HistoryFragment that extends ListFragment. In the end it won't be pulling from the String[] values but from database resources. I just wanted to setup a structure first and see it/play with the layout.
public static class HistoryFragment extends ListFragment {
// public HistoryFragment() {
// }
String[] values = new String[] { ... };
static HistoryFragment newInstance(int num) {
HistoryFragment history = new HistoryFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt("num", num);
history.setArguments(args);
return history;
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.history, container, false);
return view;
}
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1,
values));
}
}

I figured it out after getting some sleep. I was importing android.app.ListFragment instead of android.support.v4.app.ListFragment

I think you will have to typecast to fragment before returning. So try this
Fragment history = HistoryFragment.newInstance(i);
return history;
