I haven't found any question like this on here so I wanted to ask. Please keep in mind that I'm new to Fragments & FragmentActivity (not Android) and I don't really know how to work with them quite yet but I'm learning. My question is I want to know how to change from a FragmentActivity to a Fragment so I can incorporate it into my app seamlessly without any errors. The code I want to rid errors of is below
public class Work extends Fragment implements ActionBar.TabListener { private ViewPager viewPager; private TabsPagerAdapter mAdapter; private ActionBar actionBar; // Tab titles private String[] tabs = { "Tattoos", "Piercings", "Social Networks" }; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.our_work); // Initilization 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 public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2) { } @Override public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0) { } }); } @Override public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) { } @Override public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) { // on tab selected // show respected fragment view viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition()); } @Override public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) { } }
I've tried 3 different ways of doing this by rearranging the code but nothing works. Please help me with this!
EDIT I've tried it this way now
public class Work extends Fragment implements ActionBar.TabListener { private ViewPager viewPager; private TabsPagerAdapter mAdapter; private ActionBar actionBar; private String[] tabs = { "Tattoos", "Piercings", "Social Networks" }; @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.our_work, container, false); // Initilization 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 public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2) { } @Override public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0) { } }); } return rootView; } @Override public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) { } @Override public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) { // on tab selected // show respected fragment view viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition()); } @Override public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) { } }
This question is related to
java
android
android-fragments
fragment
first of all;
a Fragment
must be inside a FragmentActivity
, that's the first rule,
a FragmentActivity
is quite similar to a standart Activity
that you already know, besides having some Fragment oriented methods
second thing about Fragments, is that there is one important method you MUST call, wich is onCreateView
, where you inflate your layout, think of it as the setContentLayout
here is an example:
@Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { mView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_layout, container, false); return mView; }
and continu your work based on that mView, so to find a View
by id, call mView.findViewById(..);
for the FragmentActivity
part:
the xml part "must" have a FrameLayout
in order to inflate a fragment in it
<FrameLayout android:id="@+id/content_frame" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > </FrameLayout>
as for the inflation part
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, new YOUR_FRAGMENT, "TAG").commit();
begin with these, as there is tons of other stuf you must know about fragments and fragment activities, start of by reading something about it (like life cycle) at the android developer site
