I know there are several other posts on this topic, but I wanted to paste my code because I believe there may be an error in it that is causing my problem. My FragmentStatePagerAdapter is returning the wrong position, and I am not sure why.
Here is the code in my Main activity.

...and here is the code for my FragmentStatePagerAdapter
TabGroupAdapter
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter;
import android.util.Log;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class TabGroupAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
private static int fragmentSize = 5;
private static ArrayList<String> fragmentTitles = new ArrayList<String>() {
{
add("tab1");
add("tab2");
add("tab3");
add("tab4");
add("tab5");
}
};
public TabGroupAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
Log.d("tag","POSITION: " + position);
switch (position) {
case 0:
default:
return new Tab1Fragment();
case 1:
return new Tab2Fragment();
case 2:
return new Tab3Fragment();
case 3:
return new Tab4Fragment();
case 4:
return new Tab5Fragment();
}
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return fragmentSize;
}
@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
return fragmentTitles.get(position);
}
}
To sum it up, when my app loads, the first tab is empty. Just a blank screen. It is not my Tab1Fragment as it should be. Also when I click through my tabs, the position should show from left to right 0,1,2,3,4 as I have 5 tabs. It does not though. I have a Log.d statement in my getItem(position) method in which I am logging the current position to the console. When my app loads it shows Position:0, then Position:1 all on load, which is weird since it should only show position 0 since that is the default tab (tab1). Then when I click through, tab 2 shows position 2, tab 3 shows position 3, tab 4 shows position 4 and tab 5 does not log at all. Then working back from tab 5 to tab 1, the positions are all out of whack, and when I get to tab 1 it does not log. It's quite strange. Also, my back arrow in my fragment that SHOULD only show up if I am not at the root fragment of the tab, instead shows up all the time.
Can anyone please help me figure out why this is happening? If any more code is needed to determine the problem, I am happy to post it just please let me know what you need to see.
Try commenting out all of the code beneath:
TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(mViewPager);
in your onCreate method. Run again and see what happens.
Your switch statement is laid out in a strange way, too. If you'll definitely only have 5 cases, then it should go from case 0-4, with a default case at the end that prints an error to the log, or throws an exception. I don't think this will be causing your issue, but it's good practice.
Also it's usually not a good idea to instantiate fragments using the default constructor. A better way is to use a static factory method, ie:
Tab1Fragment fragment = Tab1Fragment.create();
return fragment;
With a static create() method in your fragment, that initialises the object. It gives you a single access point to fragment, and means that any initialisation you need to do (now or at some point down the line) can all be done in once place, making you less prone to error. Android also re-creates fragments using the default constructor, so any initialisation you come to do in an overloaded constructor will be ignored. Again I don't think this is the cause of your issue, but it's worth bearing in mind.
Edit: In addition, when you say it is choosing random fragments "The position will show 0,3,2,0,4,1 just random numbers", do you mean those are the fragments being displayed on screen, or are those the positions you're logging from the "getItem(int position)" argument?
