Prevent ViewPager from destroying off-screen views

Question

I have a ViewPager hooked up to a FragmentPagerAdapter that\'s displaying three fragments. The ViewPager appears to destroy a hosted fragment\'s view when it is more than on

Answer 1

In revision 4 of the Support Package, a method was added to ViewPager which allows you to specify the number of offscreen pages to use, rather than the default which is 1.

In your case, you want to specify 2, so that when you are on the third page, the first one is not destroyed, and vice-versa.

mViewPager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(2);
