I have an Activity
which uses a Fragment
. I simply want to pass an object from this Activity
to the Fragment
.
How could I do it? All the tutorials I've seen so far where retrieving data from resources.
EDIT :
Let's be a bit more precise:
My Activity has a ListView
on the left part. When you click on it, the idea is to load a Fragment
on the right part.
When I enter this Activity
, an Object Category
is given through the Intent
. This Object contains a List of other Objects Questions
(which contains a List of String). These Questions
objects are displayed on the ListView.
When I click on one item from the ListView
, I want to display the List of String
into the Fragment
(into a ListView
).
To do that, I call the setContentView()
from my Activity
with a layout. In this layout is defined the Fragment
with the correct class to call.
When I call this setContentView()
, the onCreateView()
of my Fragment
is called but at this time, the getArguments()
returns null.
How could I manage to have it filled before the call of onCreateView()
?
(tell me if I'm not clear enough)
Thanks
This question is related to
android
This one worked for me:
In Activity:
User user;
public User getUser(){ return this.user;}
In Fragment's onCreateView method:
User user = ((MainActivity)getActivity()).getUser();
Replace the MainActivity
with your Activity Name.
To pass an object to a fragment, do the following:
First store the objects in Bundle, don't forget to put implements serializable in class.
CategoryRowFragment fragment = new CategoryRowFragment();
// pass arguments to fragment
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
// event list we want to populate
bundle.putSerializable("eventsList", eventsList);
// the description of the row
bundle.putSerializable("categoryRow", categoryRow);
fragment.setArguments(bundle);
Then retrieve bundles in Fragment
// events that will be populated in this row_x000D_
mEventsList = (ArrayList<Event>)getArguments().getSerializable("eventsList");_x000D_
_x000D_
// description of events to be populated in this row_x000D_
mCategoryRow = (CategoryRow)getArguments().getSerializable("categoryRow");
_x000D_
Passing arguments by bundle is restricted to some data types. But you can transfer any data to your fragment this way:
In your fragment create a public method like this
public void passData(Context context, List<LexItem> list, int pos) {
mContext = context;
mLexItemList = list;
mIndex = pos;
}
and in your activity call passData() with all your needed data types after instantiating the fragment
WebViewFragment myFragment = new WebViewFragment();
myFragment.passData(getApplicationContext(), mLexItemList, index);
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.add(R.id.my_fragment_container, myFragment);
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();
Remark: My fragment extends "android.support.v4.app.Fragment", therefore I have to use "getSupportFragmentManager()". Of course, this principle will work also with a fragment class extending "Fragment", but then you have to use "getFragmentManager()".
Get reference from the following example.
1. In fragment: Create a reference variable for the class whose object you want in the fragment. Simply create a setter method for the reference variable and call the setter before replacing fragment from the activity.
MyEmployee myEmp;
public void setEmployee(MyEmployee myEmp)
{
this.myEmp = myEmp;
}
2. In activity:
//we need to pass object myEmp to fragment myFragment
MyEmployee myEmp = new MyEmployee();
MyFragment myFragment = new MyFragment();
myFragment.setEmployee(myEmp);
FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.main_layout, myFragment);
ft.commit();
In your activity class:
public class BasicActivity extends Activity {
private ComplexObject co;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_page);
co=new ComplexObject();
getIntent().putExtra("complexObject", co);
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
Fragment1 f1 = new Fragment1();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.frameLayout, f1).commit();
}
Note: Your object should implement Serializable interface
Then in your fragment :
public class Fragment1 extends Fragment {
ComplexObject co;
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Intent i = getActivity().getIntent();
co = (ComplexObject) i.getSerializableExtra("complexObject");
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.test_page, container, false);
TextView textView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.DENEME);
textView.setText(co.getName());
return view;
}
}
If the data should survive throughout the application lifecycle and shared among multiple fragments or activities, a Model
class might come into consideration, which has got less serialization overhead.
Check this design example
You should create a method within your fragment that accepts the type of object you wish to pass into it. In this case i named it "setObject" (creative huh? :) ) That method can then perform whatever action you need with that object.
MyFragment fragment;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(android.R.id.content) == null) {
fragment = new MyFragment();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(android.R.id.content, detailsFragment)
.commit();
} else {
fragment = (MyFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(
android.R.id.content);
}
fragment.setObject(yourObject); //create a method like this in your class "MyFragment"
}
Note that i'm using the support library and calls to getSupportFragmentManager() might be just getFragmentManager() for you depending on what you're working with
