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.

To get a reference to currently visible fragment, assume you have a reference to ViewPager as mPager. Then following steps will get a reference to currentFragment:

1. PageAdapter adapter = mPager.getAdapter();
2. int fragmentIndex = mPager.getCurrentItem();
3. FragmentStatePagerAdapter fspa = (FragmentStatePagerAdapter)adapter;
4. Fragment currentFragment = fspa.getItem(fragmentIndex);

The only cast used line 3 is valid usually. FragmentStatePagerAdapter is an useful adapter for a ViewPager.
