I have an activity with two fragments in it (both dynamically created), one of which is a ListFragment. I have implemented an onListItemClick handler in the activity. When an item is clicked, I want to replace both fragments with other fragments, and populate a TextView. However, after replacing the fragments I can't seem to get the View object I need to manipulate the TextView in the new Details fragment -- it returns null. Here is some relevant code (onListItemSelected is the handler that processes onListItemClick in the main activity).
@Override
public void onListItemSelected(int index) {
inflateCheckinFragment();
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fm.beginTransaction();
cif = new checkInFragment();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.action_container, cif, "ACTIONS");
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction.commit()
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction2 = fm.beginTransaction();
gdf = new GeolocDetailsFragment();
fragmentTransaction2.replace(R.id.fragment_container, gdf, "DETAILS");
fragmentTransaction2.addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction2.commit();
View gdfView = gdf.getView();
TextView tv = (TextView) gdfView.findViewById(R.id.textPOI);
tv.setText(printPOI(poiList.get(index)));
}
I ended up just setting up the data in the onListItemSelected method. selectedPOI is a private class member.
public void onListItemSelected(int index) {
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fm.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.action_container, cif, TAG_CHECKIN);
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, gdf, TAG_DETAILS);
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
selectedPOI = poiList.get(index);
}
Then in the GeolocDetailsFragment class, I set up a handler to be called in the Activity in the Fragment's onCreateView method to set the TextView value.
public class GeolocDetailsFragment extends Fragment {
private TextSetter textSetter;
public interface TextSetter {
public String getActivityText();
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.geoloc_details_fragment, container, false);
TextView detailsText = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textPOI);
detailsText.setText(textSetter.getActivityText());
return view;
}
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
super.onAttach(activity);
try {
textSetter = (TextSetter) activity;
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString() + " must implement OnGetPOIListener");
}
}
}
Finally, I implemented getActivityText() in the main activity to get the string to pass to the TextView.
@Override
public String getActivityText() {
return printPOI(selectedPOI);
}
