ActionBarSherlock with ViewPager not calling ViewPager fragments lifecycle methods when going to and returning from backstack

Question

I have an application that uses ActionBarSherlock and inside the main fragment I have a ViewPager which uses several fragments to display different objects of a list.

Answer 1

When you are creating the view adapter You have to pass the fragment child manager as argument - getChildFragmentManager() instead of getFragmentManager().

Instead of,

 mDemoCollectionPagerAdapter = new DemoCollectionPagerAdapter(getFragmentManager());

you should use,

 mDemoCollectionPagerAdapter = new DemoCollectionPagerAdapter(getChildFragmentManager());
