I am working with two fragments in Android Honeycomb (Tab). In the left is a ListView and in the right is a preview of the item selected from the list. When one of the buttons is clicked, I want to show different layouts on the left. How is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
You can do this, I made the same thing with use of these links, here is my code which I am sharing with you in the hope that it will be helpful for you... You will first have to create 4 layouts. 2 of which will be for landscape mode, one for portrait mode and another for tablets. You have to create a couple more folders for layouts and their name should be like layout-xlarge and layout-xlarge-port, this way you can create fragments for both mobile devices and tablets.
MasterFragment Activity:
public class MasterFragment extends ListFragment { Boolean isDualPane; int position; @Override public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState); ArrayList parkNames = new ArrayList(); for (Park park : Resort.PARKS) { parkNames.add(park.getName()); } setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(getActivity(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, parkNames)); View detailFrame = getActivity().findViewById(R.id.detail); isDualPane = detailFrame != null && detailFrame.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE; if (savedInstanceState != null) { position = savedInstanceState.getInt("position", 0); } if (isDualPane) { getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE); showDetail(position); } } @Override public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) { super.onSaveInstanceState(outState); outState.putInt("position", position); } @Override public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) { showDetail(position); } void showDetail(int position) { this.position = position; if (isDualPane) { getListView().setItemChecked(position, true); DetailFragment detailFragment = (DetailFragment) getFragmentManager() .findFragmentById(R.id.detail); if (detailFragment == null || detailFragment.getIndex() != position) { detailFragment = new DetailFragment(position); FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager() .beginTransaction(); ft.replace(R.id.detail, detailFragment); ft.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE); ft.commit(); } } else { Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClass(getActivity(), DetailActivity.class); intent.putExtra("position", position); startActivity(intent); } } } Second Activity - DetailFragment Activity:
public class DetailActivity extends FragmentActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.detail_act); Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras(); int position = bundle.getInt("position"); System.out.println("RR : position is : " + position); Integer[] images = { R.drawable.pic1, R.drawable.pic2, R.drawable.pic3, R.drawable.pic4, R.drawable.pic5, R.drawable.pic6, R.drawable.pic7, R.drawable.pic8, R.drawable.pic9, R.drawable.pic10, R.drawable.pic11, R.drawable.pic12, R.drawable.pic13 }; final ImageView imgview = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1); imgview.setImageResource(images[position]); // DetailFragment detailFragment = new DetailFragment(position); // FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager(); // FragmentTransaction ft =fm.beginTransaction(); // ft.add(android.R.id.content, detailFragment).commit(); } } Now you have to create a third activity, MasterGridActivity for my images which I am using for showing in fragment in GridView.
public class MasterGridActivity extends Fragment { Boolean isDualPane; GridView gridView; ListView listView; int position; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); } @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.gridview, container, false); gridView = (GridView) view.findViewById(R.id.gridViewImage); gridView.setAdapter(new MyAdapter(view.getContext())); return view; } @Override public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) { View detailFrame = getActivity().findViewById(R.id.detail); isDualPane = detailFrame != null && detailFrame.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE; gridView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { @Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView> arg0, View arg1, int pos, long arg3) { if (!isDualPane) { Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClass(getActivity(), DetailActivity.class); intent.putExtra("position", pos); startActivity(intent); } else { DetailFragment detailFragment = (DetailFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.detail); if (detailFragment == null || detailFragment.getIndex() != pos) { detailFragment = new DetailFragment(pos); FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction(); ft.replace(R.id.detail, detailFragment); ft.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE); ft.commit(); } } } }); super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState); } } Now here is my image adapter - MyAdapter - for my images which extends a BaseAdapter.
public class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter { private Context mContext; public MyAdapter(Context c) { mContext = c; } @Override public int getCount() { return mThumbIds.length; } @Override public Object getItem(int arg0) { return null; } @Override public long getItemId(int position) { return 0; } @Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { ImageView imageView; if (convertView == null) { // if it's not recycled, initialize some attributes imageView = new ImageView(mContext); imageView.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(100, 100)); imageView.setImageResource(mThumbIds[position]); imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP); imageView.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0); } else { imageView = (ImageView) convertView; } imageView.setImageResource(mThumbIds[position]); return imageView; } static Integer[] mThumbIds = { R.drawable.pic1, R.drawable.pic2, R.drawable.pic3, R.drawable.pic4, R.drawable.pic5, R.drawable.pic6, R.drawable.pic7, R.drawable.pic8, R.drawable.pic9, R.drawable.pic10, R.drawable.pic11, R.drawable.pic12, R.drawable.pic13, }; } Now I am sharing the XML files for these fragments.
Main.xml
gridview.xml
detail_fragment.xml: This XML is for showing the detail in another fragment.
detail_act.xml
Make the same XML for landscape mode and for tablets. It's working fine for me. Hope it will helpful for you.
You need to define an event callback to the activity activity callback. That is, your left fragment must first notify the container activity that an event occurred (i.e. one of the list items were selected). The container activity will then pass this information to the right fragment, which will then update its UI accordingly.
I could explain this in more detail, but there are several tutorials on the internet that teach just that. I suggest you read through some of them, as the concept will make a lot more sense once you do.
