I have following problem: I have one activity in which I have two tabs which are made both as fragments using FragmentPagerAdapter In some moment I would like to change View of one of these fragments, but I am not able to findFragmentById() or findFragmentByTag() I am unable to set id, because I am not declaring Fragment in XML, because of the FragmentPagerAdapter And when I am trying to set tag I am getting following problem:

08-15 21:46:23.805: E/AndroidRuntime(9297): java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't  change tag of fragment Companies{416d7b78 id=0x7f04002e companies}: was companies now android:switcher:2130968622:1

My code of the pager FragmentPagerAdapter:

public class TabsAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter implements    ActionBar.TabListener, ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener {
    private final FragmentActivity mContext;
    private final ActionBar mActionBar;
    private final ViewPager mViewPager;
    private final ArrayList<TabInfo> mTabs = new ArrayList<TabInfo>();


    final class TabInfo {
        private final Class<?> clss;
        private final Bundle args;

        TabInfo(Class<?> _class, Bundle _args) {
            clss = _class;
            args = _args;
        }
    }

    public TabsAdapter(SherlockFragmentActivity activity, ViewPager pager) {
        super(activity.getSupportFragmentManager());
        mContext = activity;
        mActionBar = activity.getSupportActionBar();
        mViewPager = pager;
        mViewPager.setAdapter(this);
        mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(this);
    }

    public void addTab(ActionBar.Tab tab, Class<?> clss, Bundle args) {
        TabInfo info = new TabInfo(clss, args);
        tab.setTag(info);
        tab.setTabListener(this);
        mTabs.add(info);
        mActionBar.addTab(tab);
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return mTabs.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        TabInfo info = mTabs.get(position);
        FragmentTransaction ft=mContext.getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        Fragment fragment=Fragment.instantiate(mContext, info.clss.getName(), info.args);

        if(position==1){
            ft.add(mViewPager.getId(), fragment, "companies");
        }else{
            ft.add(mViewPager.getId(), fragment);
        }
        Log.v("FRAGMENT ID", "fragment tag: "+fragment.getTag());
        ft.commit();
        Log.v("FRAGMENT ID", "fragment tag: "+fragment.getTag());
        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onPageSelected(int position) {
        mActionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
        new Thread(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                MainActivity.this.hideKeyboard();

            }
        }).start();

    }

    @Override
    public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
        Object tag = tab.getTag();
        for (int i = 0; i < mTabs.size(); i++) {
            if (mTabs.get(i) == tag) {
                mViewPager.setCurrentItem(i);                   
            }
        }


    }

    @Override
    public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {


    }

    @Override
    public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
    }
}

Thank you in advance for your answers.

The Fragments supplied by the FragmentPagerAdapter are auto-tagged when they're instantiated. You can retrieve the tag with this method:

private static String makeFragmentName(int viewPagerId, int index) {
     return "android:switcher:" + viewPagerId + ":" + index;
}
