I have an activity which loads a data list from the server using loader callbacks. I have to list out the data into a fragment which extends
SherlockListFragment
i tried to commit the fragment using
Fragment newFragment = CategoryFragment.newInstance(mStackLevel,categoryList);
FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.add(R.id.simple_fragment, newFragment).commit();
in onLoadFinished and it gives an IllegalStateException saying
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can not perform this action inside of onLoadFinished
I have referred the example in actionbar sherlock, but those examples have loaders within the fragments and not the activity.
Can anybody help me with this o that I can fix it without calling the loader from the fragment!
Atlast, I have found a solution to this problem. Create a handle setting an empty message and call that handler onLoadFinished(). The code is similar to this.
@Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<List<Station>> arg0, List<Station> arg1) {
// do other actions
handler.sendEmptyMessage(2);
}
In the handler,
private Handler handler = new Handler() { // handler for commiting fragment after data is loaded
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
if(msg.what == 2) {
Log.d(TAG, "onload finished : handler called. setting the fragment.");
// commit the fragment
}
}
};
The number of fragments depend on the requirement.
This method can be mainly used in case of stackFragments, where all fragments have different related functions.
