I have tried using Static variable for the ArrayList but in the ListFragment class, while debugging it's value is null.
I think the ListFragment gets created before initialising the ArrayList, thats why it's null, but not sure.
Suggest if i can use any other way to send the inflated ArrayList from Fragment class to other Fragment class which extends ListFragment.
Thanks in advance.
Objective (This is the clue, what needs to be done)
In the Monday_fragment's onStart() method use the findByView() method to find the label for the save entry button in the pages view. Using the reference to the button attach a setOnClickListener() method to the save button. You will need to save the time and the diary entry strings contained in the EditText fields on the page in this method.
Use findViewById() to also get a reference to the first EditText field and use this to get the text of the field as a string and save it to a string. Repeat this for the next EditText - the diary entry. You will need a publicly accessible variable to store a reference for the day (Monday..Friday), the date time string, and the diary entry string. Create a new class (diaryLogs) with these fields to hold the values and a single constructor that takes an int (0 Mon, 1 Tue, 2 Wed etc) and two strings for the date time and diary entry to initialise an instance of the object. As a number of entries will be made for the same day, use an ArrayList < diaryLogs > to store the values. As this value will be shared between fragments declare the variable as static in the MainActivity class. Use the .add() method of ArrayList to add the new diaryLog to the ArrayList in your setOnClickListener() method. Repeat this operation for the other diary page fragments.
The monday_list fragment consists of a ListView and a button used to return to the Monday_fragment page. Create these objects in the monday_list xml file. Create a Monday_list_fragment that extends the ListFragment class. In the onCreateView() method inflate() the monday_list resource.
In the onCreate() method you need to provide a single array of strings as the source for the list in the setListAdapter() method used to fill the ListView on the page. The strings are in your static ListArray variable in MainActivity. However, they are not in the form required and you must unpack the diaryLog elements to get to the required strings. To do this you must create a String array big enough to hold the strings to display. As this consistes of a date/time string followed by a diary entry string there will be two such strings for each diaryLog element. Use a Iterator to iterate through your ListArray. Copy the date string and diary string strings into your local string. Then use this local string as the relevant parameter of setListAdapter() so that the ListView displays the required strings.
Add the click handler in the MainActivity java file so that a click on the Save Diary Entries button in the Monday fragment page causes the Monday_list_fragment to be made visible using the FragmentManager. Also add a click handler in MainActivity so that a click on the Return to Monday Diary button returns to the Monday_fragment page.

You can only pass custom object or ArrayList of custom object via Bundle(or Intent) when the object is either Parcelable or Serializable. One more thing if your fragments are in same activity then why you are passing array. you just create getter and setter for list in your Activity and access them like ((Activity)getActivity).getArraylist() in your listFragment. For creating object Parcelable do something like below.
import android.os.Parcel;
import android.os.Parcelable;
public class Address implements Parcelable {
private String name, address, city, state, phone, zip;
@Override
public int describeContents() {
return 0;
}
/*
THE ORDER YOU READ OBJECT FROM AND WRITE OBJECTS TO YOUR PARCEL MUST BE THE SAME
*/
@Override
public void writeToParcel(Parcel parcel, int i) {
parcel.writeString(name);
parcel.writeString(address);
parcel.writeString(city);
parcel.writeString(state);
parcel.writeString(phone);
parcel.writeString(zip);
}
public Address(Parcel p){
name = p.readString();
address = p.readString();
city = p.readString();
state = p.readString();
phone = p.readString();
zip = p.readString();
}
// THIS IS ALSO NECESSARY
public static final Creator<Address> CREATOR = new Creator<Address>() {
@Override
public Address createFromParcel(Parcel parcel) {
return new Address(parcel);
}
@Override
public Address[] newArray(int i) {
return new Address[0];
}
};
}
I have seen your code for your given link and thats why I am posting a new Ans. One thing if you read your code carefully, you have declared ArrayAdapter<String> in Monday_fragment, so this list initialize every time when you replace this fragment with other. So just create a ArrayAdapter<String> in MainActivity and getter, setter for the same and change your methode ArrayList<String> toStringList(Collection<DiaryLogs> entryLogs) in the Monday_fragment like below
public ArrayList<String> toStringList(Collection<DiaryLogs> entryLogs) {
ArrayList<String> stringList = ((MainActivity)getActivity()).getMyStringList();
for (DiaryLogs myobj : entryLogs) {
String objctString = myobj.toString();
stringList.add(objctString);
}
((MainActivity)getActivity()).setMyStringList(stringList);
return stringList;
}
