How to call fragment method from main activity

Question

I have method in fragment class. I want to call that method from main activity but I don\'t want to use FragmentById (or) FragmentByTag.

My fragment method:

Answer 1

it means your calling a fragment method

((YourFragmentClass) fragment).Yourmethod();

Answer 2

First create an interface

public interface MyInterface
{
    void myAction() ;
}

Your fragment must implement this interface.

public MyFragment extends Fragment implements MyInterface

In your activity, define a field of type MyInterface :

  private MyInterface listener ;

  public void setListener(MyInterface listener)
  {
     this.listener = listener ;
  }

When creating your fragment and adding it :

setListener(myFragment);

Finally, when the condtion happens that you want to call the Fragment method, just call :

listener.myAction() ; // this will call the implementation in your MyFragment class.

Answer 3

In Activity use something like this where you load your fragment:

FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(container, fragment);

transaction.addToBackStack(null); // if you want to store transaction        
transaction.commit();
currentFragment = fragment; // currentFragment is global Fragment variable

Use following line where you want to call fragment's method

currentFragment.setItemFromDrawer("sourceTag","destTag");

Answer 4

((YourFragment Class) fragment).Your method();
