Set new layout in fragment - android

I'm trying to change the layout of a fragment during runtime under a particular condition.
The initial layout in inflated within the onCreateView():
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.cancel_video, null);
}
Then sometime later within the fragment code I would like to replace the initial layout with some other layout.
I've tried a few things so far; this is the latest that I have:
private void Something(){
if(checkLicenseStatus(licenseStatus, statusMessage)){
View vv = View.inflate(getActivity(), R.layout.play_video, null);
//more code
}
}
How can I accomplish this?

You cannot replace the fragment's layout once it is inflated. If you need conditional layouts, then you either have to redesign your layout and break it down into even smaller elemens like Fragments. Alternatively you can group all the layout elements into sub containers (like LinearLayout), then wrap them all in RelativeLayout, position them so they overlay each other and then toggle the visibility of these LinearLayouts with setVisibility() when and as needed.

Yes, I have done this in following way. When I need to set a new layout(xml), the following code snippet should be executed.
private View mainView;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup containerObject, Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreateView(inflater, containerObject, savedInstanceState);
mainView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.mylayout, null);
return mainView;
}
private void setViewLayout(int id){
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
mainView = inflater.inflate(id, null);
ViewGroup rootView = (ViewGroup) getView();
rootView.removeAllViews();
rootView.addView(mainView);
}
Whenever I need to change the layout I just call the following method
setViewLayout(R.id.new_layout);

Use a FragmentTransaction through the FragmentManger
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
if (fm != null) {
// Perform the FragmentTransaction to load in the list tab content.
// Using FragmentTransaction#replace will destroy any Fragments
// currently inside R.id.fragment_content and add the new Fragment
// in its place.
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.fragment_content, new YourFragment());
ft.commit();
}
The code for the class YourFragment is just a LayoutInflater so that it returns a view
public class YourFragment extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_fragment, container, false);
return view;
}
}

I will change whole layout. You can change only a specific portion of your layout.
Add a root FrameLayout in your_layout.xml, it contains nothing.
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/fl_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
Set your content in the java code.
ViewGroup flContent = findViewById(R.id.fl_content);
private void setLayout(int layoutId) {
flContent.removeAllViews();
View view = getLayoutInflater().inflate(layoutId, flContent, false);
flContent.addView(view);
}
You can change layoutId free at some point.
If you have some listeners, you must set again.

Android get view of fragment in activity [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
findViewById in Fragment
(37 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I have an activity, let's call it A, and it launches a fragment like so:
remoteFragment = new RemoteFragment();
getSupportFragmentManager()
.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.frameLayout_remote_activity, remoteFragment)
.commit();
my remoteFragment looks something like this:
public Button okBtn;
public RemoteFragment() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, final ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_remote, container, false);
okBtn= view.findViewById(R.id.okBtn);
return view;
}
public RemoteLayoutView getOkBtn() {
return okBtn;
}
and in my activity I am trying to get it like so:
Button okBtnMessageNotWorking = remoteFragment.getOkBtn();
but okBtnMessageNotWorking is always null.
my question is how can I get the view objects from the fragment inside my activity?
Here, you are trying to find the view from layoutOnTopScrollview. Instead you should find the okBtn from inflated view. Please change code as below:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, final ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_remote, container, false);
okBtn= view.findViewById(R.id.okBtn);
return view;
}
Also, make sure that you are calling this method once the fragment is created.

How can I set theme for a fragment programmatically?

Description:
I had been changing my activities themes using manifests or, in some cases, when I have to use a personalized theme, programmatically. This is what I was doing:
setTheme(R.style.MyTheme);
I have an activity with switching fragments (Fragment A and Fragment B). I need to set programmatically Theme A to Fragment A and Theme B to Fragment B.
Problem:
I've realized that my setTheme I use for my activities, is not working for fragments.
I've tried changing the theme in my activity when fragment changes, but this didn't work.
What can I do to solve this?
Edit:
My "father" fragment JAVA code:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,Bundle savedInstanceState){
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_contenedor_perfil_alumno, container, false);
viewPagerr = view.findViewById(R.id.view_pagerr);
return view;}
You could create a new inflater with the theme that you want and use it to inflate the root of fragment.
In your onCreateView() method,
val inflater = LayoutInflater.from(ContextThemeWrapper(context, R.style.some_theme))
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_fragment_layout, parent, false)
For Java,
LayoutInflater themedInflater = LayoutInflater.from(new
ContextThemeWrapper(context, R.style.some_theme));
View view = themedIinflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_contenedor_perfil_alumno, container, false);
// ... your other code whatever that is
return view;

How to set the right fragment to replace.

I’m doing a navigation drawer in my android app. On my onNavigationDrawerItemSelected function i try on item select to change the current fragment into a new one. The problem is that when I change the current fragment its take the initial status of it. maybe because i'm doing this way
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.cont, new SessionsFragement())
.commit();
I declare a new instance of my fragment and i think it’s normal, its display me the initial status of the thing. On my fragment i've try to set a textView to see if i will say it when i call the fragement from tha navigation drawer but it's not the case.
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_spot, container, false);
tata = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.tata);
tata.setText("karim");
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_spot, container, false);
}
So please can anyone help me to fix this.
In the snippet you posted you are inflating again the view. You should return the one you modified
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_spot, container, false);
tata = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.tata);
tata.setText("karim");
return v;
}

Problems with TextView

Ok i have a TabActivity with a FragmentActivity in each tab. In one of those tabs i have a root Fragment which contains a ScrollView with multiples HorizontalScrollView like the picture:
In each HorizontalScrollView i add dinamically a few of objects inflated like this:
To get the effect of Gallery, well the main problem is when I click in each item to replace for another fragment, i add this fragment to backstack, BUT when i press back to return to this fragment all my textview are contains the same text... It's so very strange, and i dont know WHY!? Some ideas?
I put the onCreateView function that i'm using:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
if (view == null) {
this.view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_home, container, false);
} else {
((ViewGroup) view.getParent()).removeView(view);
}
return this.view;
}

How to set data to layout inflated by a fragment

I have a FragmentActivity which sets a main layout with 3 tabs. Each tab has it's own fragment which inflates is own layout into main layout.
For example, one of the three Fragments:
public class Fragment1 extends Fragment {
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
if (container == null) {
return null;
}
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment1, container, false);
}
}
When I add all the fragments and connect them with tabs everything works. When I click on tab1, layout of the Fragment1 shows, when I click on Tab2, layout of the Fragment2 shows.
The problem is that when I want to change something in that inflated layout (for example execute setText to textView in fragment1 layout), I receive a NullPointerException in that line and application stops.
This doesn't work:
TextView test = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.fragmentOneText1);
test.setText("Test text!");
How to set data to inflated layout?
You have to inflate your fragment specific layout first by using LayoutInflater and map the control in your Fragment
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View fragmentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.R.layout.fragment1, container, false);
TextView text = (TextView) fragmentView.findViewById(R.id.fragmentOneText1);
mTextNoResult=(TextView)fragmentView.findViewById(R.id.text_noresult);
return fragmentView;
}
