I am working on Swipe Views with Tabs. The code provided in the "EffectiveNavigation" project at the Creating Swipe Views with Tabs page provides a solid starting ground. Experimenting further I added an OnClickListener to the given TextView and added a setCurrentItem to the onClick method. This behaves as expected and the ViewPager jumps to the requested page.
/**
* A dummy fragment representing a section of the app, but that simply displays dummy text.
*/
public static class DemoObjectFragment extends Fragment {
public static final String ARG_OBJECT = "object";
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_collection_object, container, false);
Bundle args = getArguments();
((TextView) rootView.findViewById(android.R.id.text1)).setText(
Integer.toString(args.getInt(ARG_OBJECT)));
((TextView) rootView.findViewById(android.R.id.text1)).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
/*
*setCurrentPagerItem(5); -> omitted here to reduce complexity
*/
mViewPager.setCurrentItem(5);
}
});
return rootView;
}
}
As the project I'm working on requires the loading of static webpages instead of text. I replaced the TextView with a WebView to load a different webpage at every swipe. This works perfectly well. Click events from the HTML side are handled by a JavascriptInterface I have implemented.
It is here that I'm facing a problem. The setCurrentPagerItem method works perfectly well when called outside of the JavascriptInterface. When called from within the JavascriptInterface the WebView shows a blank screen and stays so until a swipe to the right or left is made. A swipe to the right displays the next page to the one requested and a swipe to the left displays the requested page. LogCat shows no errors and this behaviour is consistent across a 4.3 based emulator and a Nexus 7 running 4.4.4. I shall provide the entire code below.
public class CollectionDemoActivity extends FragmentActivity {
/**
* The {@link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter} that will provide fragments representing
* each object in a collection. We use a {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter}
* derivative, which will destroy and re-create fragments as needed, saving and restoring their
* state in the process. This is important to conserve memory and is a best practice when
* allowing navigation between objects in a potentially large collection.

I could be wrong but it sounds like you are not updating on the UIThread.
You could try something like this.
getActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
((CollectionDemoActivity) getActivity()).setCurrentPagerItem(4);
}
});
