I have a Main Activity which uses a TabSelectedListener to show fragments for the AHBottomNavigation menu. The fragment called "FirstFragment" contains a FragmentPagerAdapter which allows the user to swipe between two tabs, each of which have its own fragment, called FirstTabInFirstFragmentFragment and SecondTabInFirstFragmentFragment (renamed for simplicity).
My issue is that:
a). When the Main Activity is launched, the "First" Bottom Navigation menu item is selected, however the "FirstFragment" is not launched. So, it shows the proper item selected with a blank screen. It only launches the First Fragment if I tap on the menu item again.
b). Once the FirstFragment has been properly launched and is being shown on screen (by the temporary fix done in a), if I select a different menu item (i.e. to navigate to SecondFragment) and then select the FirstFragment's menu item again, the two tabs within it are blank. Also, the sliding between the fragments for the two tabs does not work and gets "stuck" so you have to pull it all the way to one side or all the way to the other.
Hopefully I have explained my problem clearly - if there is anything I'm missing, I can provide more details.

case 1:

}
}
I was able to solve this in two steps. First, in my Main Activiy method createNavItems, in addition to doing a bottomNavigation.setCurrentItem(0);, I also had to manually update the CoordinatorLayout (which has ID content_id) with the default fragment:
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_id, new FirstFragment()).commit();
Next, to solve the TabLayout issues I had to change this line:
FirstFragmentPagerAdapter adapter = new FirstFragmentPagerAdapter(mContext.getSupportFragmentManager(), mContext);
to
FirstFragmentPagerAdapter adapter = new FirstFragmentPagerAdapter(getChildFragmentManager(), mContext);
The reason for this is that when nesting Fragments inside of other Fragments with ViewPager, getFragmentManager() is for managing Fragments within a Fragment whereas mContext.getSupportFragmentManager() is used for Activities.
