Passing an Object from an Activity to a Fragment

Question

I have an Activity which uses a Fragment. I simply want to pass an object from this Activity to the Fragment.

How

Answer 1

Get reference from the following example.

1. In fragment: Create a reference variable for the class whose object you want in the fragment. Simply create a setter method for the reference variable and call the setter before replacing fragment from the activity.

 MyEmployee myEmp;
 public void setEmployee(MyEmployee myEmp)
 {
     this.myEmp = myEmp;
 }

2. In activity:

   //we need to pass object myEmp to fragment myFragment

    MyEmployee myEmp = new MyEmployee();

    MyFragment myFragment = new MyFragment();

    myFragment.setEmployee(myEmp);

    FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
    ft.replace(R.id.main_layout, myFragment);
    ft.commit();
