So I wrote this simple tab navigation. It has two tabs called "Fragment 1" and "Fragment 2". If you hit either one, it should display respective texts "Fragment 1" or "Fragment 2" in the content area. My code works fine at the start.
However, when I turn the device to change into landscape orientation, the text messes up. It displays Fragment with a combination of 1 and 2 on the same spot. I think both texts are being displayed at the same time. The text remains that way I try to change tabs after this bug occurs. This also happens when I change from landscape to portrait. What is causing this?
MainActivity.java
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ActionBar ab = getActionBar();
ab.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
Tab tab = ab.newTab().setText(R.string.frag1).setTabListener(new MyTabListener(this, Fragment1.class.getName()));
ab.addTab(tab);
tab = ab.newTab().setText(R.string.frag2).setTabListener(new MyTabListener(this, Fragment2.class.getName()));
ab.addTab(tab);
}

private final Activity mActivity;
private final String mFragName;
public MyTabListener(Activity activity, String fragName) {

mFragName = fragName;
}
#Override

#Override

ft.add(android.R.id.content, mFragment);
}
#Override
public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
ft.remove(mFragment);
mFragment = null;
}
}
Fragment1.java
public class Fragment1 extends Fragment
{
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstance)
{
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.frag1, container, false);
}
}
Fragment2.java
public class Fragment2 extends Fragment

#Override

}
You need to use replace() instead of add() method in your onTabSelected() method.

in my app i have a Tabs with fragment classes. i trying to refresh listView in "fragment a" with the new data i insert.
In "fragment b" i have EditText and Button ,that inserting text to the database.
in "fragment a" i have the ListView with the dataBase rows. when "fragment a" is "OnCreateView" i just put the dataBase on a "ArrayList" and past it to my baseAdapter.
but "onCreateView" not refreshing my new data every time i get into the "fragment a" else i goes to "fragment c" and "onDestroy" call on "fragment a".
so my result it was to call : "setUserVisibleHint" override method, and check if it is visible and refreshing the list.
but i dont think it is the good practice .
what should i do?

refreshList();
return v;

//like on "resume":
#Override

super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);
// Make sure that we are currently visible
if (this.isVisible()) {
refreshList();

Please help me i hope you are understand my problem...
You want to update listView in fragment A, after insert data in fragment b? Then you have a few solutions to choose:
1. Implement communications between fragments via activity. Then B insert date, it send message to activity, that data need to be updated. Then fragment A started, it's ask activity to need update data. For details on implementing this communication check link.
2. Use some bus library, EventBus for example. Then fragment B insert data, it post 'data changed' event to bus. Fragment A checks on start if this event occurs.
3. Use Loaders which "monitor the source of their data and deliver new results when the content changes."
Hello I recently updated may ADT and and now I am developing new app using eclipse. so i want to know where to write setOnclickListner event. I want to open another activity on click button. I tried various combinations but it's gives me error every time. my eclipse Version: 8.1.2.201302132326 please tell me where i can write code??????
after adding setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); it gives an Error and application will unfortunately stooped.
I also remove some code and run it but it does not worked.
eg.
if (savedInstanceState == null)
{
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
}
and
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment
{
public PlaceholderFragment()
{
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container,
false);
return rootView;
}
}
this code remove from coding but it's not worked.
and in that when i am creating new blank activity then there is fragment activity.xml will created automatically and I want make GUI changes in fragment activity.xml file. If I made changes in activity.xml then it gives error.
Please help me.
Thank you in advance..
here is may code which is automatically generated...
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if (savedInstanceState == null)
{
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()

int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings)
{
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
/**

public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment

#Override

Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container,
false);
return rootView;
}
}
}
you should put the button fragment container,
so,you need to access your button you should specify like this because your placehold fragment inflate the layout of fragment_container.xml
Button b1=(Button)rootView.findViewById(R.id.button1);
b1.setOnclickListener(this);
in this case implements the onClickLiistener your class,Automatically onclick will override in your class
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if (savedInstanceState == null)
{
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)

getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}

{
// 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);
}
/**

public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment
{
public PlaceholderFragment()
{
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,

{
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container,

final Activity contect=getActivity();
Button b1=(Button)rootView.findViewById(R.id.button1);
b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent in=new Intent(contect,YourActivity.class);
startActivity(in);
}
}) ;
return rootView;
}
}
}
put the button in fragment_main,move to the some other activity
Otherwise remove the fragment and extends the activity also remove the appcompat_v7 libraries from the code and project.
Remove the libraries Properties-->Android--> from below remove it
I have this class:
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements TabListener{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Set up the action bar.
final ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
ActionBar.Tab TestTab = actionBar.newTab().setText("The test");
ActionBar.Tab chatTab = actionBar.newTab().setText("Chat");
TestTab.setTabListener(this);
chatTab.setTabListener(this);
actionBar.addTab(TestTab);
actionBar.addTab(chatTab);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater actionMenue = getMenuInflater();
actionMenue.inflate(R.menu.main_activity_bar, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#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;
}
if (id == R.id.mapIcon) {
Intent displayTheMap = new Intent(this, Map.class);
startActivity(displayTheMap);
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
/**
* A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
*/
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {
public PlaceholderFragment() {
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
return rootView;
}
}
public void showTheMap(View mainView){
Intent displayTheMap = new Intent(this, Map.class);
startActivity(displayTheMap);
}
#Override
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
As you can see I have placed 2 tabs under the action bar. Now everything looks just fine, but, how do I execute a pair of code, when a tab is clicked? I mean, it is clear that I have to write my code here:
#Override
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
But how do I know wich tab is selected? Can someone give me a clue, because as a beginner, it is seems hard to understand. I know that I'm missing a small part here.
Use the below code
Please us the below code.
#Override
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction arg1) {
int position = tab.getPosition();
switch(position){
case 0:
//code for test
break;
case 1:
//code for chat
break;
}
}
you can try this :
public class MainActivity extends TabActivity {
static TabHost mytabs;
mytabs = getTabHost();
mytabs.setOnTabChangedListener(new OnTabChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onTabChanged(String arg0) {
Log.i("***Selected Tab", "Im currently in tab with index::" + mytabs.getCurrentTab());
}
});
Generally I would solve this like in the official docs. Here is a link
What is suggested there is to implement a separate TabListener like this:
public static class TabListener<T extends Fragment> implements ActionBar.TabListener {
private Fragment mFragment;
private final Activity mActivity;
private final String mTag;
private final Class<T> mClass;
/** Constructor used each time a new tab is created.
* #param activity The host Activity, used to instantiate the fragment
* #param tag The identifier tag for the fragment
* #param clz The fragment's Class, used to instantiate the fragment
*/
public TabListener(Activity activity, String tag, Class<T> clz) {
mActivity = activity;
mTag = tag;
mClass = clz;
}
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// Check if the fragment is already initialized
if (mFragment == null) {
// If not, instantiate and add it to the activity
mFragment = Fragment.instantiate(mActivity, mClass.getName());
ft.add(android.R.id.content, mFragment, mTag);
} else {
// If it exists, simply attach it in order to show it
ft.attach(mFragment);
}
}
public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
if (mFragment != null) {
// Detach the fragment, because another one is being attached
ft.detach(mFragment);
}
}
public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// User selected the already selected tab. Usually do nothing.
}
}
And then add tabs like this:
Tab tab = actionBar.newTab()
.setText(R.string.artist)
.setTabListener(new TabListener<ArtistFragment>(this, "artist", ArtistFragment.class));
The class you give the listener in the constructor determines the class of the Fragment which will be opened if the tab is selected.
try this code
#Override
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(tab.getText().equals("The test"){
//the test tab is selected
}
else if(tab.getText().equals("Chat"){
// the chat tab is selected
}
}
So I'm new to android app writing, and I am trying to work on a practice app that I can hopefully turn into something later. I had 3 tabs in the actionbar that ran fine before I decided to try to add webview to one of them. Now it crashes with an IllegalStateException. And since I don't know too much about android at the moment, I can't seem to figure out what is wrong.
The main activity:
private ViewPager viewPager;
private TabsPagerAdapter mAdapter;
private ActionBar actionBar;
private String[] tabs = { "Web", "Facebook", "Twitter" };
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Initialization
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));
}
/**
* on swiping the viewpager make respective tab selected
* */
viewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener()
{
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position)
{
// on changing the page
// make respected tab selected
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
#Override

tolerableWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
tolerableWebView.loadUrl(url);
return rootView;
}
}
the TabsPagerAdapter:
public class TabsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter
{
public TabsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm)
{
super(fm);
}
#Override

}
return null;
}
#Override
public int getCount()
{
// get item count - equal to number of tabs
return 3;
}
}
The webfragment xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
Any help would be great! Thanks
Generally you get that error when you try to perform work after the Fragment is no longer attached to the Activity. In the callback that triggers the IllegalStateException add a check for isAdded: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Fragment.html#isAdded()
if(!isAdded()) {
return;
}
New to ActionBar and Fragments but familiar with Android in general.
I have been following a few tutorial. So far I have the following:
3 Fragments that I want to navigate between (each has an overriden onCreateView() and loads a simple view)
A custom TabListener for the ActionBar (I believe the problem is there, see bottom of post for code)
A hosting Activity in which this is all performed
The Activity code:
public class Activity_Home extends Activity
{
ActionBar actionBar;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
actionBar = getActionBar(); // Get reference to ActionBar
// Add some navigation tabs...
// 1. Enable ActionBar navigation tabs
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
// 2. Add the tabs
Tab programTab = actionBar.newTab();
Tab settingsTab = actionBar.newTab();
Tab historyTab = actionBar.newTab();
programTab.setText("Program")
.setTabListener(new TabListener<Fragment_Program>(
this, R.id.fragmentParent, Fragment_Program.class));
settingsTab.setText("Settings")
.setTabListener(new TabListener<Fragment_Settings>(
this, R.id.fragmentParent, Fragment_Settings.class));
historyTab.setText("History")
.setTabListener(new TabListener<Fragment_History>(
this, R.id.fragmentParent, Fragment_History.class));
actionBar.addTab(programTab);
actionBar.addTab(settingsTab);
actionBar.addTab(historyTab);
}
}
My Fragments:
public class Fragment_Program extends Fragment
{
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_program, null);
}
}
..
public class Fragment_History extends Fragment
{
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_history, null);
}
}
..
public class Fragment_Settings extends Fragment
{
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_settings, null);
}
}
Lastly, my TabListener which has been pretty much based on the official Google example. The fragmentContainer (int) is the XML resource ID of the LinearLayout in the Activities layout that is the direct parent of all of these Fragments.
public class TabListener <T extends Fragment> implements ActionBar.TabListener
{
private Fragment fragment;
private int fragmentContainer;
private final Activity activity;
private final Class<T> fragmentClass;
/** Constructor used each time a new tab is created.
* #param activity The host Activity, used to instantiate the fragment
* #param tag The identifier tag for the fragment
* #param fragmentClass The fragment's Class, used to instantiate the fragment
*/
public TabListener(Activity activity, int fragmentContainer, Class<T> fragmentClass)
{
this.activity = activity;
this.fragmentContainer = fragmentContainer;
this.fragmentClass = fragmentClass;
}
#Override
public void onTabReselected(Tab arg0, FragmentTransaction arg1)
{
// User selected the already selected tab. Usually do nothing.
}
#Override
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft)
{
// Check if the fragment is already intialized
if (fragment == null)
{
// If not, instatiate and add it to the Activity
fragment = Fragment.instantiate(activity, fragmentClass.getName());
ft.add(fragmentContainer, fragment);
}
else
{
ft.attach(fragment);
}
}
#Override
public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft)
{
if (fragment != null)
{
// Detach the fragment, because another one is being attached
ft.detach(fragment);
}
}
}
So the app loads, the tabs are there, I can select them but they don't seem to be linked to each other and I am not really sure how to proceed.
Any suggestions would be great!
Cheers
BONUS QUESTION: The ActionBar is also below the existing ActionBar.. goal was to replace it, not make another one underneath.. again any suggestions would be great!
Fixed it!
I changed my approach from using the Fragment Container ID (which did make and does still make more sense to me..) with String tags as per this example Good complete Fragment and ActionBar example and the official Google example.
I imagine that you want the tabs to be connected in a way that you can swipe between tabs, in order to accomplish this, you should consider a ViewPager.
Here's the XML by the way:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout>
Here's some sample code you can use:
public class MyTabActivity extends FragmentActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener, ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener {
//What item on the pager is being displayed
private int mCurPagerItem = 0;
//This will be set to the pageer to handle navigation
private SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;
private ViewPager mViewPager;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
final ActionBar mActionBar = getActionBar();
mActionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
mActionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
mActionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
//add the tabs
mActionBar.addTab(mActionBar.newTab().setIcon(R.drawable.your_icon).setTabListener(this));
mActionBar.addTab(mActionBar.newTab().setIcon(R.drawable.your_icon2).setTabListener(this));
mActionBar.addTab(mActionBar.newTab().setIcon(R.drawable.your_icon3).setTabListener(this));
mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);
mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(this);
}
public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
switch (position) {
case 0:
Fragment one = new Fragment_Program();
return one ;
case 1:
Fragment two = new Fragment_Settings();
return two ;
case 2:
Fragment three = new Fragment_History();
return three ;
default:
break;
}
return null;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return 3;
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
switch (position) {
case 0:
return getString(R.string.title_one);
case 1:
return getString(R.string.title_two);
case 2:
return getString(R.string.title_three);
}
return null;
}
}
#Override

#Override
public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2) {}
#Override
