You should probably try to decouple the fragment from the activity in case you want to use it somewhere else  You can do this by creating a interface that your activity implements    So you would define an interface like the following   Suppose for example you wanted to give the activity a String and have it return a Integer   public interface MyStringListener      public Integer computeSomething String myString       This can be defined in the fragment or a separate file    Then you would have your activity implement the interface    public class MyActivity extends FragmentActivity implements MyStringListener      Override   public Integer computeSomething String myString          Do something with the string and return your Integer instead of 0         return 0           Then in your fragment you would have a MyStringListener variable and you would set the listener in fragment onAttach Activity activity  method    public class MyFragment            private MyStringListener listener            Override         public void onAttach Context context                super onAttach context               try                   listener    MyStringListener  context                catch  ClassCastException castException                        The activity does not implement the listener                                      edit 17 12 2015  onAttach Activity activity  is deprecated  use onAttach Context context  instead  it works as intended  The first answer definitely works but it couples your current fragment with the host activity  Its good practice to keep the fragment decoupled from the host activity in case you want to use it in another acitivity

For accessing a function declared in your Activity via your fragment please use an interface  as shown in the answer by marco   For accessing a function declared in your Fragment via your activity you can use this if you don t have a tag or an id  private void setupViewPager ViewPager viewPager          fragmentOne fragmentTwo and fragmentThree are all global variables     fragmentOne  new FragmentOne        fragmentTwo  new FragmentTwo        fragmentThree   new FragmentThree         viewPagerAdapteradapter   new ViewPagerAdapter getSupportFragmentManager         viewPagerAdapteradapter addFragment fragmentOne   Frag1        viewPagerAdapteradapter addFragment fragmentTwo   Frag2        viewPagerAdapteradapter addFragment fragmentThree   Frag3           viewPager has to be instantiated when you create the activity        ViewPager viewPager    ViewPager findViewById R id pager         setupViewPager viewPager         Where R id pager is the id of the viewPager defined in your activity s xml page       viewPager setAdapter viewPagerAdapteradapter           frag1 and frag2 are also global variables     frag1    FragmentOne viewPagerAdapteradapter mFragmentList get 0       frag2    FragmentTwo viewPagerAdapteradapter mFragmentList get 1            You can use the variable fragmentOne or frag1 to access functions declared in FragmentOne       This is the ViewpagerAdapterClass      class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter       public final List lt Fragment gt  mFragmentList   new ArrayList lt  gt         private final List lt String gt  mFragmentTitleList   new ArrayList lt  gt          public ViewPagerAdapter FragmentManager manager            super manager               Override     public Fragment getItem int position            return mFragmentList get position               Override     public int getCount             return mFragmentList size               public void addFragment Fragment fragment  String title            mFragmentList add fragment           mFragmentTitleList add title               Override     public CharSequence getPageTitle int position            return mFragmentTitleList get position             This answer is for noobs like me  Have a good day

Although i completely like Marco s Answer i think it is  fair to point out that you can also use a publish subscribe based framework to achieve the same result for example if you go with the event bus you can do the following   fragment      EventBus getDefault   post new DoSomeActionEvent        Activity     Subscribe onSomeActionEventRecieved DoSomeActionEvent doSomeActionEvent     Do something

Update after I understand more how fragments work  Each fragment belongs to a parent activity  So just use   getActivity   whatever   From within the fragment  It is a better answer because you avoid superflous casts  If you cannot avoid the casts with this solution use the one below                 what you have to do is to cast to the outer activity     MainActivity  getActivity    Method      creating a new instance will be confusing the android frame and it will not be able to recognize it   see also     https   stackoverflow com a 12014834 1984636  https   stackoverflow com a 2042829 1984636
