The Problem: In my onCreate() on my main activity, I am trying to set the text value of a TextView in my fragment which is displayed by a viewpager. When I try to get my fragment instance, It always returns null.
Solutions I Tried: Almost every solution related to this problem on SO gives me the same result(NPE).
My Code is below as well as some explanation...
Home.java Activity (My Main Activity):
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Show the home layout
setContentView(R.layout.home);
// Setup the toolbar
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar)findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
// Now setup our tab bar
TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout)findViewById(R.id.homeTabs);
tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
// Setup the view pager
ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.viewPager);
PagerAdapter pagerAdapter = new PagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
viewPager.setAdapter(pagerAdapter);
tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
// Start our service controller
Intent startServiceController = new Intent(this, ServiceController.class);
startService(startServiceController);
Fragment viewFragment = pagerAdapter.getRegisteredFragment(viewPager.getCurrentItem());
if(viewFragment == null){
Log.v("Fragment", "NULL");
}
}
After setting up the pageAdapter and viewpager, I try to access the fragment thats being shown. The code for my PagerAdapter is below...
PagerAdapter:
public class PagerAdapter extends SmartFragmentStatePagerAdapter {
public PagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
switch (position) {
case 0:
return new ParkListFragment();
case 1:
return new MapFragment();
default:
return null;
}
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return 2;
}
@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
CharSequence title;
switch (position){
case 0:
title = "Spaces Near You";
break;
case 1:
title = "Map";
break;
default:
title = "N/A";
break;
}
return title;
}
}
SmartFragmentStatePagerAdapter:
public abstract class SmartFragmentStatePagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
// Sparse array to keep track of registered fragments in memory
private SparseArray<Fragment> registeredFragments = new SparseArray<>();
public SmartFragmentStatePagerAdapter(FragmentManager fragmentManager) {
super(fragmentManager);
}
// Register the fragment when the item is instantiated
@Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
Fragment fragment = (Fragment) super.instantiateItem(container, position);
registeredFragments.put(position, fragment);
return fragment;
}
// Unregister when the item is inactive
@Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
registeredFragments.remove(position);
super.destroyItem(container, position, object);
}
// Returns the fragment for the position (if instantiated)
public Fragment getRegisteredFragment(int position) {
return registeredFragments.get(position);
}
}
I really don't understand what the issue is. I have tried many things. What I don't want to use is this:
String tag="android:switcher:" + viewId + ":" + index;
ParkListFragment.java:
public class ParkListFragment extends Fragment {
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.park_list_fragment, container, false);
}
}
ParkList Fragment Layout:
