I'm using Google API 8(Android 2.2) with v4 packages.
Hi, here is my problem:
I have a FragmentActivity that has a menu who always stays on screen and a little container(a FrameLayout) where a I put many fragments. My application works fine when I'm hiding and showing fragments but it crashes after I load all fragments because I have a limited memory to use. In this case, I had to remove some of the fragments when loading others, so the application doesn't crash. But here comes another problem, my pagers doesn't reload after I remove them, all others fragments works fine. Only my pagers doesn't show, they don't crash, just disappear. Here goes some code to give you a clue of what my problem is about:
MyFragmentActivity.java has this layout:
<LinearLayout
...(some code from menu that doesn't matter)
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
In that FrameLayout, I put all my fragments. The pager fragments is one of them and its layout looks like:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="@+android:id/some_pager"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
And I implemented this abstract class AbstractPagerFragment:
import java.util.List;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public abstract class AbstractPagerFragment extends Fragment {
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
View fragment = inflater.inflate(getLayoutID(), container,false);
PagerAdapter mPagerAdapter = initializePager();
ViewPager pager = (ViewPager) fragment.findViewById(getPagerID());
pager.setAdapter(mPagerAdapter);
return fragment;
}
private PagerAdapter initializePager() {
PagerAdapter mPagerAdapter = new templateDigital.util.PagerAdapter(getFragmentManager(), getFragments());
return mPagerAdapter;
}
public abstract List<Fragment> getFragments();
public abstract int getLayoutID();
public abstract int getPagerID();
}
This uses my PagerAdapter that looks like:
import java.util.List;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
public class PagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter{
private List<Fragment> fragments;
public PagerAdapter(FragmentManager fManager, List<Fragment> fragments) {
super(fManager);
this.fragments = fragments;
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return fragments.get(position);
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return fragments.size();
}
@Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
return POSITION_NONE;
}
}
Now, let's implements my AbstractPagerFragment:
import templateDigital.main.R;
import templateDigital.util.fragments.AbstractPagerFragment;
import templateDigital.util.fragments.GenericFragment;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
public class ConcretePagerFragment extends AbstractPagerFragment {
private List<Fragment> fragments;
public ConcretePagerFragment() {
fragments = new ArrayList<Fragment>();
fragments.add(new GenericFragment(R.layout.concept_page1_fragment));
fragments.add(new GenericFragment(R.layout.concept_page2_fragment));
fragments.add(new GenericFragment(R.layout.concept_page3_fragment));
//GenericFragments is a class that extends Fragments and just inflate a layout with a background image.
}
@Override
public List<Fragment> getFragments() {
return fragments;
}
@Override
public int getLayoutID() {
return R.layout.pager_fragment;
}
@Override
public int getPagerID() {
return R.id.some_pager; // the pager inside the layout
}
}
Okay, now I add it from my content(FrameLayout) like this( myFragment is a PagerFragment, and myTag is a string that represents its tag defined by me):
FragmentTransaction transaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
if (fragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(myTag) == null) {
transaction.add(R.id.content,myFragment, myTag);
}
transaction.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.fade_in, R.anim.fade_out);
hideAllOtherFragments(myTag, transaction); //Here I hide all other fragments, the code is okay. Trust me.
transaction.show(myFragment());
transaction.commit();
And this is how I remove it:
...
transaction.remove(myFragment);
...
But when it should load again after I navigate back to the fragment in the menu, using the same method I used in the first time(code above), the pager doesn't show anymore. Can anyone resolve this?
If you read all of this, thank you, you are a champion.
Actually, if you want to implement ViewPager with fragments, you should add a TabHost, a TabWidget a FrameLayout and a ViewPager.
The TabHost will be the container for a tabbed window view. This object holds two children: a set of tab labels that the user clicks to select a specific tab, and the FrameLayout is an object that displays the contents of that page. And after you have to create a TabAdapter(that is something like your PagerAdapter), and add the fragments for each tab by calling mTabsAdapter.addTab
and sending the Fragment as parameter
