Saving Fragment state in ViewPager

Question

I tried out the sample code from the API and it didn\'t really work so I implemented my own:

FragmentPagerSupport

public class Fragm         


        

Answer 1

I tripped on some similar ground... I wanted to keep my fragments saved within my adapter to avoid useless reloading since I only had 5 fragments in the FragmentPagerAdapter.

I basically had to create an array and override the getItem(position) method:

private StoryListFragment[] fragmentsArray
        = new StoryListFragment[getCount()];

public SectionsAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
    super(fm);
}


@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {

    if(fragmentsArray[position]!=null)
        return fragmentsArray[position];
    StoryListFragment storyListFragment = null;
    switch(position){
        case(0):
            storyListFragment = StoryListFragment.newInstance(StoriesBank.NEWS);
            break;
        case(1):
            storyListFragment = StoryListFragment.newInstance(StoriesBank.FEATURES);
            break;
        case(2):
             storyListFragment=  StoryListFragment.newInstance(StoriesBank.ARTS);
            break;
    }

    fragmentsArray[position] =  storyListFragment;
    return storyListFragment;
}

@Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
    StoryListFragment fragment = (StoryListFragment) super.instantiateItem(container, position);
    fragmentsArray[position] = fragment;
    return fragment;
}
