Retrieve a Fragment from a ViewPager

Question

I\'m using a ViewPager together with a FragmentStatePagerAdapter to host three different fragments:

• [Fragment1]
• [Fragment2]<

Answer 1

Create integer resource id in /values/integers.xml

1
2
3

Then in PagerAdapter getItem function:

public Fragment getItem(int position) {

        Fragment fragment = null;

        if (position == 0) {
            fragment = FragmentOne.newInstance();
            mViewPager.setTag(R.integer.page1,fragment);

        }
        else if (position == 1) {

            fragment = FragmentTwo.newInstance();
            mViewPager.setTag(R.integer.page2,fragment);

        } else if (position == 2) {

            fragment = FragmentThree.newInstance();
            mViewPager.setTag(R.integer.page3,fragment);

        }

        return fragment;
        }

Then in activity write this function to get fragment reference:

private Fragment getFragmentByPosition(int position) {
    Fragment fragment = null;

    switch (position) {
        case 0:
            fragment = (Fragment) mViewPager.getTag(R.integer.page1);
            break;

        case 1:

            fragment = (Fragment) mViewPager.getTag(R.integer.page2);
            break;

        case 2:
            fragment = (Fragment) mViewPager.getTag(R.integer.page3);
            break;
            }

            return fragment;
    }

Get the fragment reference by calling the above function and then cast it to your custom fragment:

Fragment fragment = getFragmentByPosition(position);

        if (fragment != null) {
                    FragmentOne fragmentOne = (FragmentOne) fragment;
                    }
