In the application I am developing I am using a ViewPager with fragments and each fragment constructs its own menu independently of all of the other fragments in the ViewPager.
The issue is that sometimes the fragments that are initialised by the ViewPager by default (i.e in it's initial state) are not having their items populated into the action items menu. What's worse is that this issue only occurs intermittently. If I swipe through the ViewPager enough so that the fragments are forced to re-initialise them selves, when I swipe back, the menu populates correctly.
Activity code:
package net.solarnz.apps.fragmentsample;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v13.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
public class FragmentSampleActivity extends Activity {
private ViewPagerAdapter mViewPagerAdapter;
private ViewPager mViewPager;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
if (mViewPagerAdapter == null) {
mViewPagerAdapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getFragmentManager());
}
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.log_pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mViewPagerAdapter);
mViewPager.setCurrentItem(0);
}
private class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
public ViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return 8;
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
Fragment f = Fragment1.newInstance(position);
// f.setRetainInstance(true);
f.setHasOptionsMenu(true);
return f;
}
}
}
Fragment code:
package net.solarnz.apps.fragmentsample;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
public class Fragment1 extends Fragment {
int mNum;
static Fragment newInstance(int num) {
Fragment1 f = new Fragment1();
// Supply num input as an argument.
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt("num", num);
f.setArguments(args);
return f;
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
mNum = getArguments() != null ? getArguments().getInt("num") : 0;
}
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_list, menu);
}
}
Layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/log_pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

You should read this (by xcolw...)
Through experimentation it seems like the root cause is invalidateOptionsMenu getting called more than one without a break on the main thread to process queued up jobs. A guess - this would matter if some critical part of menu creation was deferred via a post, leaving the action bar in a bad state until it runs.
There are a few spots this can happen that aren't obvious:
calling viewPager.setCurrentItem multiple times for the same item
calling viewPager.setCurrentItem in onCreate of the activity. setCurrentItem causes an option menu invalidate, which is immediately followed by the activity's option menu invalidate
Workarounds I've found for each
Guard the call to viewPager.setCurrentItem
if (viewPager.getCurrentItem() != position)
viewPager.setCurrentItem(position);
Defer the call to viewPager.setCurrentItem in onCreate
public void onCreate(...) {
...
view.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// guarded viewPager.setCurrentItem
}
}
}
After these changes options menu inside the view pager seems to work as expected. I hope someone can shed more light into this.

The simple answer is to not use menus within fragments in the ViewPager.
If you do need to use menus within the fragments, what I suggest is loading the menu's through the onCreateOptionsMenu method in the parent Activity. Obviously you will need to be able to determine which menu to show.
I was able to achieve this by using class reflection.
You will also need to use the invalidateOptionsMenu method each time you switch pages. You will need a OnPageChangeListener to call this when the ViewPager changes pages.
I also had same issue. In my case I have one activity with viewpager that contains two fragments, every fragment inflate its own action menu but fragment actions menu not shown.
View pager adapter code
public class ScreensAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public TrackerScreensAdapter(Context context, FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return 2;
}
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
Fragment fragment = null;
switch (position){
case 0:
fragment = new Fragment1();
break;
case 1:
fragment = new Fragment2();
break;
}
return fragment;
}
}
Activity on create
screensAdapter = new ScreensAdapter(this, getFragmentManager());
viewPager.setAdapter(screensAdapter);
This way my viewPager has two fragments, every fragment fire its own task in onActivityCreated, obtain data and draw its layout based on obtained data. Also every fragment has onCreateOptionsMenu
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
MyTask task = new MyTask();
task.setTaskListener(this);
task.execute();
}
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.fragment_menu, menu);
}
Spent many times to solve this problem and figure out why fragment menu not shows.
All that I was need is
screenAdapter = new ScreenAdapter(this, getFragmentManager());
viewPager.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
viewPager.setAdapter(screenAdapter);
}
});
In my case I traced the root cause of the issue to what I believe is a bug in FragmentStatePagerAdapter which is calling Fragment#setMenuVisibility to false and failing to properly set it back to true when it restores it's state.
Workarounds:
Use FragmentPagerAdapter instead of FragmentStatePagerAdapter
If you must use FragmentStatePagerAdapter, in your adapter subclass override setPrimaryItem like so:
#Override
public void setPrimaryItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
super.setPrimaryItem(container, position, object);
//This is a workaround for a bug in FragmentStatePagerAdapter
Fragment currentItem = getItem(position);
if (currentItem != null) {
currentItem.setMenuVisibility(true);
currentItem.setUserVisibleHint(true);
}
}
First create a method in the sub class of FragmentPagerAdapter to get the current fragment
public SherlockFragment getFragment() {
return currentFragment;
}
#Override
public void onTabSelected(final Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
((SherlockFragmentActivity) mContext).invalidateOptionsMenu();
Fragment f = ((SherlockFragmentActivity) mContext)
.getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(
makeFragmentName(tab.getPosition()));
currentFragment=(SherlockFragment) f;
}
Now override below methods in Main Actvity
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
if (mTabsAdapter.getPositionOfTabSelected() != 0) {
menu.add("Read").setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
menu.add("Write").setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
menu.add("Clear").setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
menu.add("Factory data reset").setShowAsAction(
MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
}
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
Now call the onOptionItemSelected from activity to fragment
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
mTabsAdapter.getFragment().onOptionsItemSelected(item);
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
I solved a very similar issue in which the Action bar icons assigned by the fragment inside of a ViewPager were disappearing onPause(). They would reappear when the Fragment came back into view and the user swiped left or right, but not immediately. The solution was calling notifyDataSetChanged() on the PagerAdapter in the onResume() method of the fragment.
#Override
public void onResume() {
mPagerAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
I was having this problem with the Action Bar Items while I was using HorizontalScrollView to show the tabs but I changed to PagerTitleStrip and the problem was solved.
Perhaps this information can help someone else.
My solution to this problem was to only inflate fragment menus if the fragment is currently visible. This solution may be too specific for your purposes, but it might help someone.
In the main activity:
boolean isFragmentVisible(int fragmentIndex) { ... }
In onCreateOptionsMenu() in your fragment:
if ( getActivity().isFragmentVisible(HOME_FRAGMENT_POS) ) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_home_fragment, menu);
}

I have an application with two activities hosting fragments. My main activity hosts a single fragment, and that fragment is able to define and inflate a menu that goes in the toolbar, no problem.
In the second activity, though, which uses a FragmentStatePagerAdapter to allow horizontal scrolling between items, my fragment does not seem able to define the menu in the toolbar.
Checks:
My whole app is set to use a theme (android:theme="#style/AppTheme") based on Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar.
My fragment extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment
setHasOptionsMenu(true); is called from the fragment's onCreate() method
the hosting activity extends AppCompatActivity and does not implement a toolbar menu itself
my fragment overrides void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu, MenuInflater), but this method seems to never be called
You can have a look at the commit that is supposed to add that menu on GitHub. (Or even look at any part of the code that might be a cause of error.)
Here are the big lines:
CrimeFragment.java:
public class CrimeFragment extends Fragment {
// ...
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate()");
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
UUID id = (UUID) getArguments().getSerializable(ARG_CRIME_ID);
Log.d(TAG, String.format("Crime id in intent's extra: %s", id.toString()));
mCrime = CrimeLab.get(getActivity()).getCrime(id);
}
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
Log.d(TAG, "onCreateOptionsMenu()"); // <= Never shows in the Android Monitor
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
inflater.inflate(R.menu.fragment_crime, menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.menu_item_delete_crime:
CrimeLab.get(getActivity()).deleteCrime(mCrime);
getActivity().finish();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
// ...
}
Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
Alright, it took me the time, but I finally found what was wrong with my code. This was a bit tricky.
In an earlier change, I overrode FragmentStatePagerAdapter#setPrimaryItem() in the hosting activity, in order to be informed every time the user switches between pages.
Unfortunately, in that override, I forgot to call super, and that's what was confusing the application, apparently.
I just had to add that call to super, and my menu item suddenly started to show up.
public class CrimePagerActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_crime_pager);
// ...
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
mViewPager.setAdapter(new FragmentStatePagerAdapter(fragmentManager) {
// ...
#Override
public void setPrimaryItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
super.setPrimaryItem(container, position, object); // <= This line was missing
Crime crime = mCrimes.get(position);
mChangedCrimeIds.add(crime.getId());
}
});
mViewPager.setCurrentItem(CrimeLab.get(this).getPosition(crimeId));
}
// ...
}
i'm trying to create a wizard Like Android application, i want to Create an activity and Two dynamic Fragments, the first one will be added when the Activity is created, and the second when the user clicks on a button in the First fragment, right now i can't even add the Fragment to the activity :
Activity onCreate method:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Fragment fr = new FragmentNumber();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(fr, "number_fragment").commit();
}
this is my activity code, when i run this, the screen is blank.
the R.layout.activity_main refer to an empty Linear Layout, i don't want to add the fragments there because i need them to be dynamic.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : pasting more files
activity_main.XML
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/fragment_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="hello from main"
/>
</FrameLayout>
MaicActivity.java
package com.example.fragmenttraining;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if(findViewById(android.R.id.content) != null)
{
Log.d("main activity", "content found");
}
FragmentNumber fr = new FragmentNumber();
//getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(android.R.id.content, fr, "number_fragment").commit();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(android.R.id.content, fr).commit();
}
FragmentNumber numberFragment;
FragmentFacebook facebookFragment;
public void facebookClicked(View view)
{
numberFragment = new FragmentNumber();
numberFragment.facebookClicked(view);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, 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();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
Now it's working, but the fragment is not replaced, it displays the content of the activity_main + the content of the FragmentNumber fragment even id i replace it ...
Follow these steps:
Create your main (activity layout) file. In it, add a frame layout which will act as a container for your fragments.
Now create your two fragments. This involves creating two xml files that will be inflated inside your fragment's onCreateView method.
One of your fragments (the first one) should have a button that the user will be able to click. That means you must attach an onClick listener to it inside the onCreateView method after finding it by id.
Now create an interface inside your first fragment and add a method in it that your activity should override after implementing the interface.
When the user clicks that button, inside onClick method, you should call the interface method to notify the activity of the click event.
Inside the activity, when the method is called, create a new instance of the second fragment and add it to view by replacing the first one - or it depends on whether you are using two-pane layout in your activity - in that case, you just add the fragment.
Remember to check if your fragment exists first before simply adding one to view.
I hope these steps help you.
Sample Code
public class WizardActivity extends Activity implements SecondFragment.OnButtonClickedListener
{
private FirstFragment firstFragment;
public void onCreate(Bundle saveInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(saveInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
firstFragment = new FirstFragment();
setFragment(firstFragment, "firstFragment");
}
#Override
public void loadSecondFragment()
{
SecondFragment secondFragment = new SecondFragment();
setFragment(secondFragment, "secondFragment");
}
public void setFragment(Fragment frag, String tag)
{
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
Fragment fragment = getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragmentContainer);
if(fragment == null)
{
ft.add(R.id.fragmentContainer, frag, tag);
} else {
ft.replace(R.id.fragmentContainer, frag, tag);
}
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit()
}
}
Now the xml file for main layout.
<LinearLayout ........>
<!--add whatever you need here-->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/fragmentContainer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
Now let us create one of your fragments - the first one:
FirstFragment.java
public class FirstFragment extends Fragment implements View.OnClickListener
{
private Activity mActivity;
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity act)
{
super.onAttach(act);
this.mActivity = act;
/*Initialize whatever you need here*/
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflator inflator, ViewGroup container, Bundle saveInstanceState)
{
View v = inflator.inflate(R.layout.first_fragment, container, false);
Button button = (Button)v.findViewById(R.id.button);
button.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
((OnButtonClickListener), mActivity).loadSecondFragment();
}
public interface OnButtonClickListener
{
void loadSecondFragment();
}
}
You should be able to just create the second fragment and have it loaded in the activity when a button is clicked.
Good luck.
The following bug will happen on an 2.3 device, my setup works fine on 4.x devices.
I have a ViewPager with some Fragments in it (they're all of the same class).
Every Fragment inflates it's own Menu, because the Menu Items may vary from Fragment to Fragment.
For test purposes, I have set up a Menu Item in the ActionBar (the ActionBar is shown on the bottom in the pic because it's a split ActionBar). When the Item is tapped, a TextView in the Fragment should be set to "clicked". This works in the beginning, but after flicking around a bit, this happens:
When the Menu Item is tapped, nothing happens. Instead, as soon as I swipe to the next Fragment, the next Fragment sets its TextView to "clicked". It seems like the ActionBar and it's Menu are associated with the next Fragment.
Heres a pic
And heres some code:
My Activity:
public class MyActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity implements
MyFragment.InvalidateListener {
ViewPager viewPager;
SectionsPagerAdapter pagerAdapter;
public void invalidate() {
ActivityCompat.invalidateOptionsMenu(act);
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.empty_viewpager);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
pagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
viewPager.setAdapter(pagerAdapter);
viewPager.setCurrentItem(initialIndex);
}
public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
Fragment fragment = new MyFragment();
fragment.setHasOptionsMenu(true);
return fragment;
}
// ...
}
My Fragment:
public class MyFragment extends SherlockFragment {
HashSet<ImageView> runningImageTasks = new HashSet<ImageView>();
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_expose, null);
}
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_grundstueckexpose, menu);
// ...
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem mitem) {
switch (mitem.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
getActivity().finish();
return true;
case R.id.myitem:
textView.setText("clicked");
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(mitem);
}
}
}
Has anyone else experienced something like this or has an idea on what could be the problem here?
The problem is that the MotionEvent does not handled correctly by internal class ActionMenuItemView (actually, there is no any specific behavior in this class).
So, I do not resolve initial problem, but I find workaround solution. I just override ActionMenuItemView.dispatchTouchEvent() and handle click and long-click manually using GestureDetector.
You can check this solution on github.
I don't know this exact problem, but I had a problem when flipping the device. The app was crashing. Finally, I've found that was problem of the Pager classes, because I was implementing them like you've implemented your SectionsPagerAdapter class.
I put the public classes that were on the main class on separated classes and the layouts worked well in vertical and horizontal position.
I don't know if this could be the problem, but you could try to create the corresponding classes instead of leaving them on the main class. Anyway, you pass to the SectionsPagerAdapter the FragmentManager, so you will not have any extra problem putting the public classes in their respective files.

I am currently using the Sherlock package and the view indicator package in my application to create a view pager with the titles at the top and then the action bar over that.
For the most part it works OK however I have noticed that invalidateOptionsMenu() stops working after a screen orientation change.
When my app loads it works fine until I rotate the device to landscape mode, from then on the invalidateOptionsMenu() call never invokes the onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) method.
It's a simple OptionsMenu creation as follows:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.add("About")
.setIcon(R.drawable.about)
.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
menu.add("Refresh")
.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
return true;
}
Which is located in a SherlockFragmentActivity:
public class TestFragActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity
I have three classes that extend the Fragment class:
OverviewFrag overviewFrag;
ForecastFrag forecastFrag;
LiveFrag liveFrag;
And I create them within the SherlockFragmentActivity like this:
overviewFrag = new OverviewFrag();
forecastFrag = new ForecastFrag();
liveFrag = new LiveFrag();
I then have a FragmentAdapter class as follows:
class TestFragmentAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
private int mCount = TAB_TITLES.length;
public TestFragmentAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
switch (position) {
case 0:
return overviewFrag;
case 1:
return forecastFrag;
case 2:
return liveFrag;
default:
return null;
}
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return mCount;
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
return TAB_TITLES[position];
}
}
The FrgamentPagerAdapter, ViewPAger and PageIndicator are set up in the onCreate as follows:
mAdapter = new TestFragmentAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
mPager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.pager);
mPager.setAdapter(mAdapter);
mPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(2);
mIndicator = (TitlePageIndicator)findViewById(R.id.indicator);
mIndicator.setViewPager(mPager);
When the device is rotated I save the 3 Classes hat extend Fragment and return them in the onCreate like this:
overviewFrag = savedWeatherInstance.getSavedOverviewFrag();
forecastFrag = savedWeatherInstance.getSavedForecastFrag();
liveFrag = savedWeatherInstance.getSavedLiveFrag();
This is all I do, when I rotate the device I seen some strange behavior such as the invalidateOptionsMenu() method not working but also some strange behavior when I call methods in my classes that extend Fragment like this:
overviewFrag.refreshTask();
This seems to run the refreshTask() but Views don't seem to update correctly.
Can anyone help me as I am quite new to Fragments and I'm not sure I've handled their life cycle correctly here?
