How could I setText in my activity of a textView in common layout for a ViewPager in Android?

Question

Update of the code: my problem is a nullPointerExeption on the line :

test.setText("try");

because the line

test=(TextView)myPager.findViewById(R.id.txtPagerDate);

return a null view

My code:

MainMeteo.java :

public class MainMeteo extends FragmentActivity {

    ViewPager myPager;
    ViewPagerAdapterBis myPagerAdapter;
    TextView test;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main_meteo);
        myPagerAdapter = new ViewPagerAdapterBis(getSupportFragmentManager());
        myPager=(ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.panelpager);
        myPager.setAdapter(myPagerAdapter);


        test=(TextView)myPager.findViewById(R.id.txtPagerDate);
        test.setText("try");

    }

}

ViewAdapterBis.java:

    public class ViewPagerAdapterBis extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
    public ViewPagerAdapterBis(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }
    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int i) {
        Fragment fragment = new ViewPagerAdapterObject();
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        // Our object is just an integer :-P
        args.putInt(ViewPagerAdapterObject.ARG_OBJECT, i + 1);
        fragment.setArguments(args);
        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return 15;
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        return "OBJECT " + (position + 1);
    }


}

ViewPagerAdapterObject.java

public class ViewPagerAdapterObject extends Fragment {

    public static final String ARG_OBJECT = "object";

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater,
            ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // The last two arguments ensure LayoutParams are inflated
        // properly.
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.meteo_pager, container, false);
        return rootView;
    }
}

And my two xml layout:

Answer 1

The problem is you are trying to get a view that is declared in a layout that is not the contentView that was set (activity_main).

You can try inflating the View for your page_test and grab your textview that way, like so:

LayoutInflater inflater =(LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.meteo_pager, null);
test = (TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.txtPagerDate);
test.setText("try");
