Getting the current Fragment instance in the viewpager

Question

Below is my code which has 3 Fragment classes each embedded with each of the 3 tabs on ViewPager. I have a menu option. As shown in the onOpt

Answer 1

by selecting an option, I need to update the fragment that is currently visible.

A simple way of doing this is using a trick related to the FragmentPagerAdapter implementation:

case R.id.addText:
     Fragment page = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("android:switcher:" + R.id.pager + ":" + ViewPager.getCurrentItem());
     // based on the current position you can then cast the page to the correct 
     // class and call the method:
     if (ViewPager.getCurrentItem() == 0 && page != null) {
          ((FragmentClass1)page).updateList("new item");     
     } 
return true;

Please rethink your variable naming convention, using as the variable name the name of the class is very confusing(so no ViewPager ViewPager, use ViewPager mPager for example).
