I know there are many topics about this here. I have also read documentation many times but I can't find the best way to pass data from activity to fragment.
I want to be able to show the results of my Searchable activity in two differents layouts (list and map) using swipe Views with tabs. I have to pass 2 data to the fragments: "currentLocation" which is the current user location and "result" which is a list of objects.
I have omited some parts of my code to make it more understandable.
SearchableActivity.java
public class SearchableActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements TabListener {
List<PlaceModel> result = new ArrayList<PlaceModel>();
private SearchView mSearchView;
private String currentLocation;
AppSectionsPagerAdapter mAppSectionsPagerAdapter;
ViewPager mViewPager;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_searchable);
final ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
mAppSectionsPagerAdapter = new AppSectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mAppSectionsPagerAdapter);
mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
});
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText("List").setTabListener(this));
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText("Map").setTabListener(this));
// get currentLocation here
handleIntent(getIntent());
}
@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
handleIntent(intent);
}
private void handleIntent(Intent intent) {
if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
final String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
// get result here
}
}
@Override
public void onTabReselected(Tab arg0, FragmentTransaction arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction arg1) {
mViewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
}
@Override
public void onTabUnselected(Tab arg0, FragmentTransaction arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
PlaceListFragment.java
public class PlaceListFragment extends Fragment {
ListView listViewData;
PlaceAdapter placeAdapter;
List<PlaceModel> result = new ArrayList<PlaceModel>();
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_list, container, false);
Bundle args = getArguments();
listViewData = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(android.R.id.list);
// I will pass result and currentLocation here
placeAdapter = new PlaceAdapter(getActivity(), R.layout.fragment_list_item, result, currentLocation);
listViewData.setAdapter(placeAdapter);
return rootView;
}
}
AppSectionsPagerAdapter.java
public class AppSectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
final int PAGE_COUNT = 2;
public AppSectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int arg0) {
Bundle data = new Bundle();
switch(arg0) {
case 0:
PlaceListFragment fragment1 = new PlaceListFragment();
fragment1.setArguments(data);
return fragment1;
default:
PlaceListFragment fragment2 = new PlaceListFragment();
fragment2.setArguments(data);
return fragment2;
}
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return PAGE_COUNT;
}
}
Find fragment in Activity onCreate and set data to a method you write in your fragment:
ExampleFragment rf = (ExampleFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.exampleFragment);
if(rf!=null){
rf.setExample(currentExample);
}
"CurrentExample" is whatever you want to send in to your "setExample" method in your fragment.
public void setExample(ExampleObject currentExample){
currentExampleInFragment = currentExample;
}
You can use the data in onActivityCreated method of Fragment.
Not sure is this is a good solution or not, but I found it the easiest one for passing objects.
