Alternative for the onResume() during Fragment switching

Question

onResume() method won\'t get called when we switch between fragments more than one time. So, is there any better way to handle resume operation?

Answer 1

You could do resume work by provide a public method on every fragment when page selected, I give you a example:

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
private TabHost mTabHost;
private ViewPager mViewPager;
private TabsAdapter mTabsAdapter;

private ArrayList mFragments;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    mTabHost = (TabHost) findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);
    mTabHost.setup();

    mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
    mTabsAdapter = new TabsAdapter(this, mTabHost, mViewPager);

    mFragments = new ArrayList();
    mFragments.add(new TestFragment1());
    mFragments.add(new TestFragment2());
    mFragments.add(new TestFragment3());

    mTabsAdapter.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("fragment1").setIndicator("fragment1"));
    mTabsAdapter.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("fragment2").setIndicator("fragment2"));
    mTabsAdapter.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("fragment3").setIndicator("fragment3"));

    if (savedInstanceState != null) {
        mTabHost.setCurrentTabByTag(savedInstanceState.getString("tab"));
    }
}

@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
    outState.putString("tab", mTabHost.getCurrentTabTag());
}

private void refreshPage(int i) {
    Fragment fragment = mFragments.get(i);

    switch (i) {
        case 0:
            ((TestFragment1) fragment).refreshView();
            break;
        case 1:
            ((TestFragment2) fragment).refreshView();
            break;
        case 2:
            ((TestFragment3) fragment).refreshView();
            break;
    }
   }

class TabsAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter implements TabHost.OnTabChangeListener,
        ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener {
    private final Context mContext;
    private final TabHost mTabHost;
    private final ViewPager mViewPager;

    public TabsAdapter(FragmentActivity activity, TabHost tabHost, ViewPager pager) {
        super(activity.getSupportFragmentManager());
        mContext = activity;
        mTabHost = tabHost;
        mViewPager = pager;
        mTabHost.setOnTabChangedListener(this);
        mViewPager.setAdapter(this);
        mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(this);
    }

    public void addTab(TabHost.TabSpec tabSpec) {
        tabSpec.setContent(new DummyTabFactory(mContext));
        mTabHost.addTab(tabSpec);
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int i) {
        return mFragments.get(i);
    }

    @Override
    public void onPageScrolled(int i, float v, int i2) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onPageSelected(int i) {
        TabWidget widget = mTabHost.getTabWidget();
        int oldFocusability = widget.getDescendantFocusability();
        widget.setDescendantFocusability(ViewGroup.FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS);
        mTabHost.setCurrentTab(i);
        widget.setDescendantFocusability(oldFocusability);
        refreshPage(i);
    }

    @Override
    public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int i) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onTabChanged(String s) {
        int postion = mTabHost.getCurrentTab();
        mViewPager.setCurrentItem(postion, true);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return mFragments.size();
    }

    class DummyTabFactory implements TabHost.TabContentFactory {
        private final Context mContext;

        public DummyTabFactory(Context context) {
            mContext = context;
        }

        @Override
        public View createTabContent(String s) {
            View v = new View(mContext);
            v.setMinimumWidth(0);
            v.setMinimumHeight(0);
            return v;
        }
    }
}
}

and then you write your Fragment like this:

public class TestFragment1 extends Fragment {
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.main, container, false);
}

public void refreshView() {
    //do whatever you want
}
}
