[android] How to transfer some data to another Fragment?

How to transfer some data to another Fragment likewise it was done with extras for intents?

To extend the previous answer even more, like Ankit was saying, for complex objects you need to implement Serializable. For example, for the simple object:

public class MyClass implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = -2163051469151804394L;
    private int id;
    private String created;
}

In you FromFragment:

Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putSerializable(TAG_MY_CLASS, myClass);
Fragment toFragment = new ToFragment();
toFragment.setArguments(args);
getFragmentManager()
    .beginTransaction()
    .replace(R.id.body, toFragment, TAG_TO_FRAGMENT)
    .addToBackStack(TAG_TO_FRAGMENT).commit();

in your ToFragment:

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    Bundle args = getArguments();
    MyClass myClass = (MyClass) args
        .getSerializable(TAG_MY_CLASS);

This is how you use bundle:

Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putInt("id", id);
Fragment frag= new Fragment();
frag.setArguments(b);

retrieve value from bundle:

 bundle = getArguments();
 if (bundle != null) {
    id = bundle.getInt("id");
 }

getArguments() is returning null because "Its doesn't get anything"

Try this code to handle this situation

if(getArguments()!=null)
{
int myInt = getArguments().getInt(key, defaultValue);
}

Complete code of passing data using fragment to fragment

Fragment fragment = new Fragment(); // replace your custom fragment class 
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
                bundle.putString("key","value"); // use as per your need
                fragment.setArguments(bundle);
                fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
                fragmentTransaction.replace(viewID,fragment);
                fragmentTransaction.commit();

In custom fragment class

Bundle mBundle = new Bundle();
mBundle = getArguments();
mBundle.getString(key);  // key must be same which was given in first fragment

Just to extend previous answers - it could help someone. If your getArguments() returns null, put it to onCreate() method and not to constructor of your fragment:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    int index = getArguments().getInt("index");
}

If you are using graph for navigation between fragments you can do this: From fragment A:

    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putSerializable(KEY, yourObject);
    Navigation.findNavController(view).navigate(R.id.fragment, bundle);

To fragment B:

    Bundle bundle = getArguments();
    object = (Object) bundle.getSerializable(KEY);

Of course your object must implement Serializable

Your input fragment

public class SecondFragment extends Fragment  {


    EditText etext;
    Button btn;
    String etex;
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.secondfragment, container, false);
        etext = (EditText) v.findViewById(R.id.editText4);
        btn = (Button) v.findViewById(R.id.button);
        btn.setOnClickListener(mClickListener);
        return v;
    }

    View.OnClickListener mClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {


            etex = etext.getText().toString();
            FragmentTransaction transection = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
            Viewfragment mfragment = new Viewfragment();
            //using Bundle to send data
            Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
            bundle.putString("textbox", etex);
            mfragment.setArguments(bundle); //data being send to SecondFragment
            transection.replace(R.id.frame, mfragment);
            transection.isAddToBackStackAllowed();
            transection.addToBackStack(null);
            transection.commit();

        }
    };



}

your view fragment

public class Viewfragment extends Fragment {

    TextView txtv;
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.viewfrag,container,false);
        txtv = (TextView)  v.findViewById(R.id.textView4);
        Bundle bundle=getArguments();
        txtv.setText(String.valueOf(bundle.getString("textbox")));
        return v;
    }


}

            First Fragment Sending String To Next Fragment
            public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
                    private Button Add;
                    private EditText edt;
                    FragmentManager fragmentManager;
                    FragClass1 fragClass1;


                    @Override
                    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
                        Add= (Button) findViewById(R.id.BtnNext);
                        edt= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);

                        Add.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(View v) {
                                fragClass1=new FragClass1();
                                Bundle bundle=new Bundle();

                                fragmentManager=getSupportFragmentManager();
                                fragClass1.setArguments(bundle);
                                bundle.putString("hello",edt.getText().toString());
                                FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction=fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
                                fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.activity_main,fragClass1,"");
                                fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
                                fragmentTransaction.commit();

                            }
                        });
                    }
                }
         Next Fragment to fetch the string.
            public class FragClass1 extends Fragment {
                  EditText showFrag1;


                    @Nullable
                    @Override
                    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {

                        View view=inflater.inflate(R.layout.lay_frag1,null);
                        showFrag1= (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.edtText);
                        Bundle bundle=getArguments();
                        String a=getArguments().getString("hello");//Use This or The Below Commented Code
                        showFrag1.setText(a);
                        //showFrag1.setText(String.valueOf(bundle.getString("hello")));
                        return view;
                    }
                }
    I used Frame Layout easy to use.
    Don't Forget to Add Background color or else fragment will overlap.
This is for First Fragment.
    <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:id="@+id/activity_main"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
        tools:context="com.example.sumedh.fragmentpractice1.MainActivity">

        <EditText
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/editText" />
        <Button
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:id="@+id/BtnNext"/>
    </FrameLayout>


Xml for Next Fragment.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:background="@color/colorAccent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/edtText"/>

</LinearLayout>

From Activity Class:

Send the data using bundle arguments to the fragment and load the fragment

   Fragment fragment = new myFragment();
   Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
   bundle.putString("pName", personName);
   bundle.putString("pEmail", personEmail);
   bundle.putString("pId", personId);
   fragment.setArguments(bundle);

   getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container,
                    fragment).commit();

From myFragment Class:

Get the arguments from the bundle and set them to xml

    Bundle arguments = getArguments();
    String personName = arguments.getString("pName");
    String personEmail = arguments.getString("pEmail");
    String personId = arguments.getString("pId");

    nameTV = v.findViewById(R.id.name);
    emailTV = v.findViewById(R.id.email);
    idTV = v.findViewById(R.id.id);

    nameTV.setText("Name: "+ personName);
    emailTV.setText("Email: "+ personEmail);
    idTV.setText("ID: "+ personId);
