Dynamic UI with sliding menu and actionbarsherlock


Trying to achieve a dynamic UI with facebook like sliding menu and actionbarsherlock .First i have look into android documentation which introduce fragment to handle dynamic button. But with no luck and a week time , i still can't get it to work anyhow , i guess is my misunderstand on android concept.The slidingbar and actionbarsherlock work without any problem.

I have a HomeScreen.java which contain all my menu and presetation stage and so far i have created a pagerAdapter1.java that extends FragmentPagerAdapter , and three example fragment class that handle my work which is task1.java,task2.java ,task3.java simple enough

here is part of my code HomeScreen.java

import com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu;
import com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuItem;
import com.slidingmenu.lib.SlidingMenu;
import com.slidingmenu.lib.app.SlidingFragmentActivity;
public class HomeScreen extends SlidingFragmentActivity {
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_home_screen);
            setBehindContentView(R.layout.menu_frame);
    }

PagerAdapter1.java

public class PagerAdapter1 extends FragmentPagerAdapter  {

    private List<Fragment> fragments;
    public PagerAdapter1(FragmentManager fm, List<Fragment> fragments) {
        super(fm);
        this.fragments = fragments;
    }

    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        return this.fragments.get(position);
    }

    public int getCount() {
        return this.fragments.size();
    }

}

and three task1.java,2,3

    import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
    public class Tab1Fragment extends Fragment{

onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater, android.view.ViewGroup, android.os.Bundle)
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            if (container == null) {
                return null;
            }
            return (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_frag1_layout, container, false);
        }

I think its better to explain my problem with picture

A homescreen which is a presetation stage , whenever user click on menu , this page will change to the page he want

homescreen

and this is my menu

menu_frame

My problem is how do i include this 3 fragment into my homescreen ? i have tried so many tutorial but it doesn't work in my situation.Most tutorial are creating fragment with code, i just want to include my 3 task into it


Solution

  • I´ll try to explain this sample code and you use for your need.

    This is the ListFragment of your BehindContent (SlidingMenu):

    public class ColorMenuFragment extends ListFragment {
    
        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            return inflater.inflate(R.layout.list, null);
        }
    
        @Override
        public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
            String[] colors = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.color_names);
            ArrayAdapter<String> colorAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(), 
                    android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, colors);
            setListAdapter(colorAdapter);
    //This array is only to fill SlidingMenu with a Simple String Color.
    //I used MergeAdapter from Commonsware to create a very nice SlidingMenu.
        }
    
        @Override
        public void onListItemClick(ListView lv, View v, int position, long id) {
    //This switch case is a listener to select wish item user have been selected,  so it Call
    //ColorFragment, you can change to Task1Fragment, Task2Fragment, Task3Fragment.
            Fragment newContent = null;
            switch (position) {
            case 0:
                newContent = new ColorFragment(R.color.red);
                break;
            case 1:
                newContent = new ColorFragment(R.color.green);
                break;
            case 2:
                newContent = new ColorFragment(R.color.blue);
                break;
            case 3:
                newContent = new ColorFragment(android.R.color.white);
                break;
            case 4:
                newContent = new ColorFragment(android.R.color.black);
                break;
            }
            if (newContent != null)
                switchFragment(newContent);
        }
    
        // the meat of switching the above fragment
        private void switchFragment(Fragment fragment) {
            if (getActivity() == null)
                return;
    
            if (getActivity() instanceof FragmentChangeActivity) {
                FragmentChangeActivity fca = (FragmentChangeActivity) getActivity();
                fca.switchContent(fragment);
            } else if (getActivity() instanceof ResponsiveUIActivity) {
                ResponsiveUIActivity ra = (ResponsiveUIActivity) getActivity();
                ra.switchContent(fragment);
            }
        }
    
    
    }
    

    Here is your BaseActivity Class:

    It dont have swipe, as I could understand, you don't need this.

    public class FragmentChangeActivity extends BaseActivity {
    
        private Fragment mContent;
    
        public FragmentChangeActivity() {
            super(R.string.changing_fragments);
        }
    
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            // set the Above View
            if (savedInstanceState != null)
                mContent = getSupportFragmentManager().getFragment(savedInstanceState, "mContent");
            if (mContent == null)
                mContent = new ColorFragment(R.color.red);  
    
            // set the Above View
                //This will be the first AboveView
            setContentView(R.layout.content_frame);
            getSupportFragmentManager()
            .beginTransaction()
            .replace(R.id.content_frame, mContent)
            .commit();
    
            // set the Behind View
                //This is the SlidingMenu
            setBehindContentView(R.layout.menu_frame);
            getSupportFragmentManager()
            .beginTransaction()
            .replace(R.id.menu_frame, new ColorMenuFragment())
            .commit();
    
            // customize the SlidingMenu
                //This is opcional
            getSlidingMenu().setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_FULLSCREEN);
        }
    
        @Override
        public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
            super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
            getSupportFragmentManager().putFragment(outState, "mContent", mContent);
        }
    
        public void switchContent(Fragment fragment) {
                // the meat of switching fragment
            mContent = fragment;
            getSupportFragmentManager()
            .beginTransaction()
            .replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment)
            .commit();
            getSlidingMenu().showContent();
        }
    
    }
    

    Ok, So If you want to change the ColorFragment to anything else, do this:

    First, choice the item that you want to use:

    case 0:
                    newContent = new ColorFragment(R.color.red);
                    break;
    

    to:

    case 0:
                newContent = new ArrayListFragment();
                break;
    

    I have made just a arraylist, it is just a simple example, you can do a lot of thing, then you can read about Fragment to learn how to do different things.

        public class ArrayListFragment extends ListFragment {
    
        @Override                               
                public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
                    setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
                            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, Listnames.TITLES));
    //Listnames is a class with String[] TITLES;
    
    }
    
            @Override
            public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
                Log.i("FragmentList2", "Item clicked: " + id);
    
                String item = (String) getListAdapter().getItem(position);
            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), item, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    
            }
    
        }
    

    Well, if you misunderstood something, just tell me.
