I have created a fragment inside an Activity, and now I want to open another application/Activity inside this fragment, Result that I want is, both the activities should be seen on the display (it should not open in another window). Please let me know how can I achieve this.?
Nope you cannot achieve this, you cannot start an activity inside a fragment nor you can show a fragment inside a fragment. For showing multiple layouts in a single screen or activity you need to adjust your activity's layout file and arrange different fragments accordingly ...

I am trying to find a way to show two activities on the same screen, I have two activities main and content activity, the main activity has a mini-player that's implemented and only works in an activity and the content activity has some implementations that also only work in an activity so the solution of converting them into a fragment does not work for me. I need to find a way to show the mini-player in the main activity inside of the content activity. I have looked online and none of the solutions so far have been working for me!
You have 2 ways to complete task.
Fragments, They can do same things as activity. Its lite weight activity class with more flexible to attach and detach from the screen.
Views, If you think your task can be done by only activity then use views for it. you can apply different animations and show/hide feature to display content on the screen within single activity.
Fragment is a part of an activity, which contributes its own UI to that activity. Fragment can be thought like a sub activity. Where as the complete screen with which user interacts is called as activity. An activity can contain multiple fragments.Fragments are mostly a sub part of an activity.
From document
For example, a news application can use one fragment to show a list of
articles on the left and another fragment to display an article on the
right—both fragments appear in one activity, side by side, and each
fragment has its own set of lifecycle callback methods and handle
their own user input events. Thus, instead of using one activity to
select an article and another activity to read the article, the user
can select an article and read it all within the same activity
Use Fragment.Fragment are Runs inside the Activity.
you can display multiple fragment in same time.
Refer Fragments
Create a fragment
At first, Android system can show only one activity on the screen.
You should not use Activity.
Please use Fragment. You can use multiple fragment on the same screen.
I have a main activity that includes two buttons 'Submit' and 'Pick' and few images. Inside the activity i have two fragments named MyThings and MyPicks. I want to hide activity button 'Pick' in MyThings fragment but want to show in MyPicks fragment. How can i achieve this? Because i don't know how to initialize the button which is in main activity to that fragment so that i can hide and show button in fragments. Please Help
There are several ways to handle this situation.
One of them is that you have two methods in your Activity named
showButton() and hideButton() and in that methods you hide and
show button. In your Fragments you can call these methods in
onCreateView() Method since you can invoke Activity methods from
Fragment.
Another way is you hide or show button in your Activity when
creating and putting Fragment in the container. I prefer the
second way.
I have one activity with ListView and 2nd activity which have ViewPager. Now I want in one activity if status true then go to 2nd activity `
Intent n = new Intent(one, two);
startActivity(n);`
But here problem is it giving opening animation is any i can do within that 1st activity
any way i can avoid that animation and it look like it is same activity
or i have to redo full code and this inside 2 fragments ? so have one fragment activity and then but one activity code inside fragment and two activity inside fragment which will have view pager.
Paraphrasing you, your are trying to call activity B from activity A, based on a result, which is an item picked from list item, however you wanna avoid any sort of screen transitions (animations) when moving from one another.
I may be wrong but my google search didn`t revealed any way to avoid transition between activities.What your could actually do is to refactor your code using fragments and sort them out within the parent activity view group in a way that fragment B maximizes itself or pops up over fragment A pausing it.
Brs.,
Is it possible to disable an activity elements when it loads a fragments?
I have a program which has an activity and two fragments. I put a container in activity. When I put two buttons in activity and load each fragment by clicking the button, fragment loads on the activity, but when I click in the position of buttons which are under fragment(or in the large screen next to it), they do some actions, however I don't like it. The buttons should not be clickable.
As a simple solution I create a third fragment and put my buttons in it and load it as a default view in the activity.
I was wondering is it possible to do this without using third fragment.
If you do not want clicks to propagate to below layers you can specify android:clickable="true".
In your case define android:clickable="true" in the bottom layout of your fragments layout xml file to stop any clicks to the activity below.
mach's solution is great, but i can suggest a solution that will be helpful if you want to do more actions in the future than just disabling buttons.
You can simply have your activity implement an Interface "OnFragmentLoaded" for example which has a single method onLoaded()
and in your fragment in your onAttach(Activity ac) method you can do the following
((OnFragmentLoaded) ac).onLoaded()
and you activity would implement onLoaded() to do what ever you want
I am trying to develop an app in which fragments are involved. There are 2 fragments on screen. The list fragment containing a Start and Stop button and a detail fragment on the right side. On click of the Start button an audio processing code runs in the detail fragment. So depending on the result i get out of the process I want to change the layout of the fragment. Basically I want to change the layout file of a single fragment during run time depending on the results I get while doing some process. How can I achieve it?
Thanks!!
You cannot switch to a different layout file in a fragment, the view you returned from onCreateView cannot be replaced.
However, you have several options:
You can show and hide views at runtime with View.setVisibility().
ViewStubs can be inflated at a later time.
Or you could replace your detail fragment with a new fragment.
