ViewPager is default to load the next page(Fragment) which you can't change by setOffscreenPageLimit(0). But you can do something to hack. You can implement onPageSelected function in Activity containing the ViewPager. In the next Fragment(which you don't want to load), you write a function let's say showViewContent() where you put in all resource consuming init code and do nothing before onResume() method. Then call showViewContent() function inside onPageSelected. Hope this will help.
